These people are ridiculous. Trump is the President now.

It is buzzfeed though so might be fake news.

Some people don't regard him as the Prez of everyone. He's not the President of those who came here as refugees, for example. Or of Muslim Americans. He attacked a fallen American soldier who was Muslim. Or of women...because of his lifelong history of abusing women by physically molesting them or verbally attacking those without the power to defend themselves. And so on.

I don't do boycotts, but some people feel strongly about some things. They have the right to buy from whom they want to buy.

The alt-right quit buying Dixie Chicks music, after they criticized Bush's Iraq War.

I wouldn't say I do a boycott, but I prefer not to see Mel Gibson movies, after his horrible extreme supremacist rants against Jewish people. It's not just a political viewpoint; he's a bad person and would have been the type to gleefully join the Nazi Party back in the day.

If the story is even true than maybe more liberal owners will be less liberal in the future or at least less loud

If true, bad that Trump is letting Musk advise him, good they are canceling orders from this crony captalist.

Trump is our president- but does not mean he is some infallible guru - huge mistakes will be made from arrogance

So childish. So what, you don't like Trump deal with it. How does it make the Tesla product any more desirable ? I would think that anyone that can afford a new Tesla would be mature enough to deal with this. I guess not.

Choosing what products to buy based on who the CEO talks to is kinda stupid.

Money does not make one mature. Those are unrelated attributes.
