Summary
A survey in the Netherlands revealed that 31% of Tesla owners are considering selling their cars due to Elon Musk’s controversial actions, including his involvement in politics and handling of misinformation on X (formerly Twitter).
About 40% feel embarrassed to own a Tesla, though 51% say Musk’s behavior doesn’t affect their view of the car.
Musk’s leadership of X has also driven users away, with 46% leaving or considering leaving the platform.
Parallel criticism of Mark Zuckerberg for removing fact-checking has fueled similar debates over tech leadership and misinformation.
No, he clearly says he has no principles.
I pick my battles but sure, enjoy being miserable and boycotting everything under the sun
People aren’t saying boycott everything. They’re saying boycott the handful of the worst people. At this point Musk is one of the worst.
Don’t give money directly to the people that are actively telling you how much they want to fuck up your life and how shitty they are.
This is a battle to pick.
The “pick your poison” people are always the ones choosing the absolute worst poisons and it’s getting really tiring listening to their pseudo-wisdom.
