'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement
Earlier this year, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk promised he wouldn't be giving any money to either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.Musk sounded adamant, tweeting, on March 6, "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for U.S. President."But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly d...
But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.
`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.
And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?
You're viewing a single thread.
Tesla is synonymous with Musk, which disqualifies it for consideration when purchasing an EV.
Around 9 years ago I very much wanted a Tesla and thought Musk was a genius. All he had to do to keep everyone thinking that was shut up.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
Lots of stims plus ketemene make that hard
As well as taking loss after loss since his pedophile accusation against that seasoned, professional cave diver made fun of his idea to rescue those kids from a cave. He just keeps trying to save face and making it worse.
Takes one to know one.

Literally the exact same problem Trump had during COVID. Fauci was giving press briefings every day and we all loved him for it. Problem was we loved him more than Trump and that's when Trump just had to have the spotlight once again.

Yeah. Tesla was a status symbol, and Musk has put in long hard extra hours of work to convert it into a shitty status symbol.
For folks out there that Musk hasn't personally offended, I suspect they've got to be at least mildly aware that it's more a matter of "when" than "if", at this point.
Tesla will go bankcrupt in five years, unless they toss Musk out. He will do some stupid shit that will crash the whole company, like endorsing a political candidate who is talking of making EV's illegal.
