Musk has spent over a decade linking himself inextricably with the brand. He can hardly turn around and conplain when people go "ugh, that car's associated with that Hitler-salute arsehole, can't buy that"; this is very much something that he brought upon himself. Frankly there's a reason that you generally don't hear much about the CEOs of most consumer goods companies (the CEO of VW, for instance, is so obscure that he _does not even have a Wikipedia page_); part of the job is to shut up and refrain from causing trouble.
