I wanted a Tesla when the tech was new and revolutionary(ish..). But their reputation has gone down the toilet in regard to safety, reliability, range, etc.. but that's just pragmatism and doesn't have to do with Musk's antics.

If they were amazing vehicles I'd probably buy one despite Musk, but I definitely wouldn't want to support him. I believed that he may have been intelligent and leading innovation in the very beginning, but as soon as I listened to him speak and learned of his behavior and actions, I quickly reorganized my beliefs and realized he was a moronic, pestilent man-child.

I remember a lot of friends thought I was crazy for my early criticism of Musk back then, but they've come along as he's shown the world just how inherently selfish and stupid he is.
