    It’s been obvious for a while but people all over have no problem giving him money to fund Nazi causes. I live in a sold blue state and see at least a couple cyber trucks whenever I drive somewhere. I’d estimate 1 out of every 8 cars around here are a Tesla. Like WTF people… If you’re a giant MAGA supporter I get it, but if you’re a Democrat then you’re sending the wrong message.

      Yep. The minute I learned who he was, my plans to buy anything from that douche were nixed. No way I’m driving around with a vehicle that broadcasts a message like that. Might as well slap one of those dumb red hats on my head, but in this case, people know that I’ve given money to a warped cause.

      This is my conundrum. My Tesla is paid off, it’s hardly worth what it was, it costs me basically nothing to drive thousands of miles (cheap electricity here)…but I hate that it has a Musk affiliation. I feel like I can’t go anywhere without people judging which sucks.

      But financially at this point it really doesn’t make sense to get rid of it and get something else. I might as well drive it until it dies. Despite avoiding driving it because I don’t want to be seen in it, I guess.

        Slap an anti-Musk bumper sticker on it. That would be enough to switch me from judging to thinking you are cool.
