He can save Tesla by leaving Tesla.
Nope. The only way he can save Tesla is if he left Tesla and sold all his Tesla shares.
Tesla is a ruined brand. Even if he sold his shares, many people will never forgive the other shareholders for standing by a Nazi as he demolished American democracy. I will never buy anything from Tesla as long as i live, and i was once part of his key market: i had intentions to buy a powerwall, a solar roof, and a car. People always say that Volkswagen got free from its Nazi roots; I say, not while Hitler wore his brain on the inside.
Hate to say it, but lots of people still buy VW even when the current CEO is still sympathetic to Nazis. Unfortunately Tesla will be fine.
Can you provide source on the VW CEO being sympathetic to Nazis?
Idk about the current CEO, but the first one for sure was
And like all of Japan and all of Italy and all of Germany. They were on opposite sides in a war. There are degrees of support, ut part of the process of ending war is moving forward without constant grudge holding. Certainly, hold those responsible that committed heinous crimes, but we don’t put entire populations and all their industry in jail.
VW currently is still doing terrible things, but no more than other companies. Elon is magnitudes worse on many fronts.
It was a joke. I was referring to the fact that VW was literally created by Nazis before being resurrected after WWII. Sorry, should've made that more clear.
