It's not about distaste. The motivation for buying an electric car is in part about believing your individual choices contribute to larger outcomes. The same logic links your Tesla purchase to Elon's growing wealth and power, which if you are concerned about global warming and fossil fuels, you likely are also concerned about the long term consequences of his current use of his wealth and power, so your motivation to buy an electric car, comes from a similar place to the motivation not to buy it from Elon. Perhaps because this is not reddit I don't need to preempt the trolls, but the relationship between those two motivations remains true even if you were motivated only by virtue signalling
