Multiple in thread mentions they cancelled their order due in whole or part to him, they are not alone. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41334247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41334247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41334102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41334102 etc Personally, I decided to not to buy a Tesla because of how he over hyped self driving and then tried to weasel out by calling the system ‘full self driving’ when it’s clearly not. It doesn’t mean the cars are actually crap, but the company just came off as hella sketchy. Like how they didn’t care about panel gaps or similar issues because people were buying cars sight unseen, just gives this cheap vibe without actually hitting that price point. It’s not that uncommon for people to quietly boycott companies. My mother refuses to get Starlink because of Musk.

  I've boycotted AT&T for over 25 years, after AT&T charged me for the phone calls made after I had reported my phone stolen. I was young and stupid, so I paid, but I never gave them my business again. In regard to Musk, I'll avoid anything he is related to. He doesn't treat others with respect, but he demands it for himself. He's egotistical, highly emotional, and impulsive. He's successful only because he inherited wealth and was able to parlay that into greater wealth.
