As Elon Musk's public persona has become increasingly right wing, Tesla appears to be paying a price in sales. His polarizing statements have alienated some potential customers and may be partly responsible for a recent slump in sales.

It’s probably that, but it’s also probably that people like their Tesla at first and then grow to hate it.

“public persona.” Do you think he’s just pretending to be a Nazi for shits and giggles?

When a Nazi takes the mask off to reveal a horrible Nazi, that's not a "public persona." It's just a Nazi taking the mask off.

Maybe he shouldn't have tipped the scales of the war in Ukraine toward putin by disabling front-line communications of the Ukrainian army during a crucial assault - just because he wanted to.

Yah think? My wife and I decided our replacement vehicle when one of our cars bites the dust would be an EV. Tesla moved from the top of the list to off the list altogether almost solely based on Musk's RWNJ garbage.

I mean, he has literally echoed Neo-Nazi propaganda on multiple occasions, how much more right-wing can one get? At point is just a matter of his potential customers level of comfort with nazism, or their ability to read.

"Public Persona" You guys just refuse to call right wing right wing. That's not just some act of his, it is who he is. Just because you don't like when the donor class who funds you acts like right wing whack jobs doesn't mean you can just mislabel....oh yeah, you're bought and paid for, nvm.
