The WSJ reports that after Elon Musk
went Fascist, the numbers of Democrats buying his car dropped by 60%.
Note--there was no promoted boycott, no organized response as we saw with the Bud Light and Disney freak outs, just that decent people simply don't want to be branded with the hateful rhetoric and bigotry on constant display in Musk's Twitter threads.
I also read that Hundai has now suspended its ads on Twitter after being embarrassed when its ads got placed in one of the many virulent anti-Semitic threads Elon is so proud to host.
Obviously, Elon has all the money in the world to sponsor whatever he wishes--Tesla investors be damned. But his extremist bigotry is way out of the mainstream. Imagine reducing your own customer base to the kind of people who wish for only ICE engines, preferably with maximum emissions as a symbol of their stupidity and fragile masculinity.
Congrats, Elon. Enjoy the $140's and declining customer base! It's hard to recall a CEO who despises his or her own customers, or one who ignores his investors interests more than Elon does.
