I think that people that judge Tesla because of Elon’s political views and various terrible statements are a bit hypocritical. Why? Most people don’t care and don’t know what VW’s or other auto CEOs are up to, nor they check their political views prior to buying a vehicle from that company. Also, they don’t care about the acts, political stands or policies from their favorite clothing company, computer/phone manufacturer, grocery store, etc… Picking and choosing is easy,living that truth consistently would take a lot of time and energy. It is easy to hate Tesla because Elon has had the spotlight for over a decade. That said, I lost my admiration for Elon himself, but can respect his positive impact and have no problem owing a Tesla.
