As Tesla CEO Elon Musk sounded off repeatedly on California’s restrictions due to the coronavirus with a series of tweets that culminated in triggering an uproar on Sunday when he tweeted, “Take the red pill,” leading many people to believe he was embracing conservative philosophy, some owners of Tesla cars have freaked out at the prospect of Musk metamorphosing into a conservative.
Writing in The New York Times on Tuesday, Nellie Bowles began her article about the disgruntled Tesla owners by opining, “Owning a Tesla, the luxurious electric car, is a major liberal status symbol. It signals nothing more than good taste — the perfect balance of wealth with care for fossil fuels. But the man behind the brand is crafting a very different persona online that may now prove to be a challenge for his fans.”
