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.
I liked the way they looked when they first came out, but now the other manufacturers have copied many of the same ideas while Telsa’s own styling has sort of stagnated.
What I see is that Tesla was early with electric cars and gave the market a push. Possibly due to elons fame too.
But not more than that 😁
