Tesla’s brand image has also been negatively impacted in the area of ethics. He ranked last on character in the Harris Poll and also performed poorly on morality and citizenship. A slew of controversies—from Musk’s reckless Nazi jokes to corporate culture issues and Autopilot incidents—have fueled the perception that Tesla is not just a struggling company, but one fundamentally out of touch with consumer values. The company is making sweeping changes with incentives and the promise of a $25,000 electric car, but regaining trust may require more than just a new model.
No “reckless nazi jokes”, he’s a fucking nazi! A bold and public nazi that donates to the closest thing to a nazi party in GERMANY. Because he funds nazis. Because he’s a modern-day nazi.
It’s simple. And of course, everyone that isn’t a nazi knows that and doesn’t support anything having anything to do with him. Even despite assholeish reporters that say things like “reckless nazi jokes” that try to convince me that he’s not a nazi, he’s still a nazi. Acting like a nazi every single day. Doing nazi things. Saying nazi things. Making sure that nazi policies are followed around the entire globe.
The only people buying anything related to musk are nazis, too. That just makes nazis easier to be singled out in public.
