What can I tell you? For some people, it's the other way round. As with the friend I mentioned, for them, Musk's character and behavior dwarf his accomplishments. Maybe they'd like to have a Tesla EV, but they're fine with driving something less exciting and advanced, so as not to put their money in his already overstuffed pockets. Different people have different priorities. That shouldn't be tough to understand. I can see both sides. Fortunately I don't have to pick one right now, because Tesla doesn't offer a vehicle that I'd want to buy. There are also folks for whom Musk's crassness, disregard for environmental, financial, and labor laws, and abuse of employees (especially women and minorities) are features, not bugs. They're not just coal-rollers, either. These days it's the fashion for bright, well-educated people, the "move fast and break things" type, to not bother with manners. Consideration for others is derided as "woke." It's hip to be rude, crude, coarse, and hateful - and ungrammatical. :-\ If someone like that buys a Tesla instead of, I dunno, a BMW or something, I guess that's good, maybe? > AP and FSD statistics are that a driver using it is far less likely to > have an accident than a driver that does not use it.
