I'm moderate to right, and I'll never buy a Tesla due to his antics.


I doubt this very much. Sky-high interest rates make large purchases such as cars incredibly expensive.


Interest rates are high for everyone, they don't depend on your political stance.

Example quote: «In subsequent polls, the firm found that Tesla recouped some of its Democratic buyer base […] that uptick may have come from Musk's relative quiet since in the press since the anti-Semitism debacle.»
