Tesla Owners Express Regret Over Elon Musk’s Political Alignment
Musk’s support for Trump and far-right rhetoric has led to backlash from liberal Tesla owners, some of whom are distancing themselves from the brand.
- Elon Musk’s vocal support for Donald Trump and far-right conspiracy theories has alienated many Tesla owners, particularly those with liberal values.
- Sales of anti-Musk stickers and merchandise have surged, with Tesla owners using them to express discontent while continuing to drive their vehicles.
- Musk’s involvement in Trump’s administration, including heading the new 'Department of Government Efficiency,' has intensified criticism from former supporters.
- Tesla’s reputation has been impacted, but analysts suggest that recent sales declines are more likely due to increased competition and an aging product lineup rather than Musk’s political actions.
- Uncertainty surrounds how Trump’s anti-electric vehicle policies, including plans to remove tax credits for EV buyers, might affect Tesla’s future performance.
