The Anti Elon Tesla Club: How Tesla EV owners are distancing themselves from Musk over ties with Trump

Firstpost  

Elon Musk’s outspoken political leanings and his strong ties to President-elect Donald Trump, have made owning a Tesla a rather complex symbol, because of an awkward clash between the brand’s identity and its CEO’s actions Owning a Tesla used to be a statement about innovation, sustainability, and a greener future. But for many, it’s now a complex symbol thanks to Elon Musk’s outspoken political leanings and his strong ties to President-elect Donald Trump. As Musk’s political moves take centre stage, Tesla enthusiasts are left grappling with the implications of representing a figure who has become a prominent supporter of Trump’s MAGA agenda. While many Tesla owners use these stickers to signal their disapproval, Musk’s fans have hit back with their own slogans, boasting messages like “I Bought This After I Knew Elon Was Awesome.” The sticker phenomenon underscores the polarisation Musk’s political alignment has brought to Tesla’s brand, particularly among its traditionally progressive customer base.
