All the rich folks I know avoid Tesla like the plague because they prefer some level of political ambiguity while driving. Even if they're driving a $500k Porsche, it doesn't come with the "this company is proudly run by a right wing asshole everyone has heard of" vibe, just the regular "I'm rich, SEE!" vibe.
The rich people I've spoken with just don't think they're premium enough. It had nothing to do with politics. Most of their politics line up conservative anyway.
Got some bad news for you...
Average person has no clue about this compared to Musk. Not surprised that the founder of a luxury brand is a bastard though.
Eh when the founders are dead long enough, people stop caring. Ex: Chanel
Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer as well but that's long in the past.
That's a worry! I'll stick with my trusty Ford!
......What?

Dawg, it's so many companies you interact with on a regular basis, often without even knowing it. Times change.
Hope you haven't taken a Thyssen-Krupp elevator lately or gotten an X-ray from a Siemens machine, otherwise you're supporting Nazis 😡 /s
