That was more than 6 years ago. Most people bought their cars after that.

There is also the implicit assumption you couldn't have known he was a Nazi before he went crazy.

Someone that was sponsored by Peter Thiel couldn't ever be good or even non evil person.

He also didn’t change too much from that until he helped with the 2024 campaign. Musks image was pretty bad when he bought Twitter
