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.

    Reality is, tesla is the best EV out there.

    I’m not looking to sell and if this crashes and burns, I’ll get another one.

    I’m not stopping to eat nestle cereal either. They’re the only brand that does gluten free honey cornflakes. Pick your battles, musk will musk no matter if we all boycott Tesla regardless. Fucker got more money than all gods combined.

      This is a lot of words for “I don’t have any spine and won’t change my behavior if it is mildly inconvenient”

            Fuck me for enjoying some life comforts then? What are you giving up?

            Once you show me a non capitalistic world, then we can talk.

          Sometimes self centered dipshits need to be called out. Your actions, and the actions of people reading this, matter.
