Is Elon Musk's Politics Driving Dutch Tesla Owners to Sell? 

Is Elon Musk’s political outspokenness a liability for Tesla? A recent Dutch study suggests one in three Tesla owners there are considering selling due to Musk’s views. This raises some serious questions about the future of the brand. How much does a CEO’s personal brand influence our purchasing decisions, especially when it comes to something as significant as a car? Are we buying the product or the persona? It seems Tesla’s identity is inextricably linked with Musk, but as the EV market expands, will this be a strength or a weakness? Could this growing discontent actually benefit competitors like Rivian or Lucid? What does Tesla need to do to navigate this increasingly polarized landscape and maintain its market share? I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Is this a passing trend, or are we witnessing a fundamental shift in consumer loyalty? Could we even see a future where Tesla distances itself from Musk to protect its brand?
