Bunch of people conditioned to hate success. Musk is a threat to the welfare state.
I don't think these are the kinds of people showing up for Dave Chappelle these days. People just don't like Elon Musk.
People USED TO like Elon Musk or at least didn't care one way or another unless they worked for him.
He is really making an effort to destroy that goodwill and along with it value in his companies.
There was a time when I considered that my next car might be a Tesla, but that won't be the case now. I can't imagine I am the only one who feels that way.
"I think if you're a senior leader at Tesla, you're praying and hoping that either Elon changes focus or gets off this Twitter thing. You could point to Kanye as an example of how something can erode very quickly."
"That erosion is already underway, according to research by Morning Consult. Since Musk's Oct. 27 purchase of Twitter, Tesla's overall favorability has dropped 6.2 points among U.S. adults, according to a Nov. 17 study. The change for the EV brand is more dramatic among Americans surveyed who identify as Democrats, falling 20 points in the past month, while rising 3.9 points among Republicans, Morning Consult said."
"At some point, and we've probably already passed it, Musk's behavior damages the future prospects for Tesla as an auto manufacturer."
"If you're driving a Tesla, it's becoming: 'Let me see if I understand. There are options you had and you chose this one? Have you been listening lately to their CEO?"
