Time heals a lot of wounds.
99% of people buying a Ford now wouldn't know about his political leanings then.
... same with people buying BMWs not knowing about their origins.
... or Hugo Boss.
Musk is a total ass-hat here and now. Decades after he's dead, may Tesla brands lose his stink as well?
Who knows?
But sensible or not, right now, Tesla (and other) branding can, and for some definitely does, carry implications of supporting certain politics and sentiments.
