Would-be Tesla buyers snub company as Musk’s reputation dips. The ranks of would-be buyers in the US are shrinking, according to a new survey. The drop is attributed in part to CEO Elon Musk’s polarizing persona. “It’s very likely that Musk himself is contributing to the reputational downfall.”

  2. Too bad the board is a bunch of Musk Cucks. If they actually cared about the shareholders he’d be fired and an adult would be put in charge. A big factor of me buying another Tesla this life comes down to if Musk is around or not. If he’s not, that likelihood goes way up.

  4. setting aside all of his bad twitter stuff, he’s been so erratic with his business decisions and day-to-day running of things that his companies are running out of good employees. think about it. if you were a top grade car engineer that could go to your pick of places, would you tolerate his weird shenanigans? or just take one of the many job offers you have.

    on a long enough timeline, you end up with a company stocked entirely with Yes Men, or people of such low capability that they can’t leave. doesn’t bode well for a car company

  5. Absolute tosh, the real reason is the cars are way too expensive

  6. My coworker gets harassed by all kinds of nuts when she drives hers. From people rolling coal in front of her to people assuming she is a musk fanboy. She’s trying hard to get rid of it.

  7. I will also not buy a Tesla because of that douche fucker.

  9. Ellie’s too stupid to just quietly be a corporate raider.
