I personally don't care about an individual's personal political opinions. What bothers me is when those opinions start to interfere with business operations. That goes for individual contributors as well as executives. Leave your politics at the voting booth and we'll all be better off. Similar for so-called "celebrity" CEO's - any time there is more focus on the CEO's personality / personal-life / fame / etc, than on the core business fundamentals, that's a red flag. (This is not specific to Tesla and applies to all other companies)

That goes for individual contributors as well as executives. Elon Musk is neither a mere individual contributor or a mere executive. He is one of the major shareholders and CEO of Texla, and he uses his Tesla position to further his political and personal goals. Elon Musk used his Tesla stock to buy Twitter and turn it into the primary hate speech platform in the world, for example. As long as Elon Musk remains the CEO and a major shareholders of Tesla, buying a Tesla car is voting with your wallet to support Elon Musk's personal and political agenda. It's high time we stop pretending there is no causality between the two.
