Elon is the brand. They don’t advertise. If he’s really as smart as most people think he is, then all of this pandering to right wing politics is just a way to sway people who wouldn’t otherwise buy an electric car into buying one because they side with him politically. At least, it’s possible that’s the long game. It’s also highly possible he’s a narcissist and doesn’t care or have enough self control to stop harming Tesla with his antics. Ultimately, I don’t think right wingers are going to buy Teslas en masse because he “freed the bird”.
