It's (1) not a witch hunt to say "don't provide financial support to a country committing war crimes", and it's also not a matter of "[leaving] private companies out of politics". Elon Musk has made Tesla (a company he stole) and his own identity essentially interchangeable, his persona has made Tesla's choices de facto political support for Russia. Coupled with his support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his support for nuking Ukraine if they ever try to free Crimea, and Musk's desire to get Putin's approval for his "peace plan" before publishing it, we should be looking at how Tesla is operating. We should also be looking at his decision to use Tesla to fund the Russian government, and asking how he is personally being compensated for that support.
