Some drivers say they're ditching Tesla over Elon Musk's politics
In interviews with 12 recent car buyers, multiple drivers told the network they had ditched a Tesla product -- leaving deposits as high as $250 on the table -- because of Musk's recent behaviour on Twitter.
"I don't want Tesla cars to become the new MAGA hat," Scott Wilson, a Tesla driver who is considering canceling a second order, told CNN."I don't want to be seen as a rich jerk, and I don't want to be seen as a political conservative, libertarian free speech warrior."
