| Both Trump and Musk are egomaniacs. Soon we will see them breaking up over something small and stupid. |

| Elon is terrible. Lots of people won’t buy his cars because he sucks. Too bad. |

So Musk decides to become the imaginary boogyman George Soros for real. |

You can drive whatever you want for whatever reason you want. Nobody really cares. However, don't think that you are not supporting Tesla in other ways. Tesla makes more than just cars. They make semi trucks. They make solar panels and power walls. They make powerpack commercial scale batteries and the Megapack which is designed for utility scale installations. So chances are very good that even if you don't buy a car from them, you will be supporting them going forward through your purchases with other companies. This is only getting bigger, especially through utility scale purchases. When it makes sense economically and ecologically to purchase a Tesla, people will buy it and won't care who owns what amount of stock in it. Tesla employs 100,000 people worldwide, many of them in the US. There is no other car that is built in the US to the degree that a Tesla is. Tesla is a lot more than Elon Musk. |

Not to blow anyone's mind too much, but you are supporting Musk through Space X. The US government (your tax dollars) buy Space X rocket launches to put up satellites. Of course Space X is putting up the Starlink grid for worldwide internet service as well. You may be unwittingly communicating over it or use a business that does. |

| Don't want to buy, rent, drive or be seen in a Tesla. You go ahead. |

| Yeah, Musk sucks. I really wanted a Tesla because.I like the size of the interior display, camera visibility and safety features. Now there is just no way. |

Perhaps, but it is also likely that his rocket is going to need to save the two stranded astronauts because of the incompetence of the incumbent defense contractors so there’s that. |

| Has his politics impacted car sales in the last 6 months? That’s a better gauge than asking why people are still driving them. |

We know that Tesla sales and market share are down. The why is hard to determine. |

Lucky for him he has diverse businesses because no one wants to buy his cars. |

| Musk is going to have to sell some Tesla stocks to cover the losses at X, due to his own stupidity telling the advertisers to go elsewhere if they don't like how he runs X. |

| What else can you call a 78 year old, obese, orange spray made up guy with a combover who stood before an audience and said “I’m better looking than Kamala Harris”? That’s WEIRD for a few reasons. |

Everyone knows that. Unless they are weird. |
