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.

      This sounds like you trying hard to justify shitty behavior. Directly funding one of the most dangerous people so you won’t be mildly inconvenienced.

      Like, yes, staying at a Trump property instead of a Hilton is way worse, even if Hilton execs suck to some extent.
