Should I Sell My Car Because I Don't Like Elon?

    If Elon insulted me DIRECTLY - like, reposted this and called me the C word, and said you're the worst human being on earth, and every planet in our solar system, and then banned me from X - I would still not sell my Tesla.

    The company already got paid, so what exactly would it accomplish? Besides uproot my daily life, nothing. Maybe I'd switch from their insurance to Geico or something. Unless it cost me more. If Tesla was cheaper, I'd stay with them too.

    Why? Because I'm not an impulsive toddler, or a celebrity who cares more about attention than they do about anything under 100k. They spend more than that on a publicist every year, who writes their posts and arranges various stunts. Like "selling" a Tesla, that their lease was ending on anyway. 

    Here's the difference. They will actually get that attention, for a week. You won't. Cheryl Crowe made headlines. Nobody will give half a crap that Alex sold his car. My immediate neighbor may be curious, and forget about it a few minutes later. Nobody will mail me a plaque. I'll just take a bath for the depreciation, and be faced with paying more, for less.

If Justin Bieber shaved his head, because there is suffering in the world, would you follow suit?

Should everyone who thinks Bill Gates is an A-hole, stop using Windows?

    Food for thought. If you're feeling guilty about driving a Tesla, don't. Normal, well adjusted people don't actually think you're a Nazi. They are busy with their lives. I'm a firm believer in keeping cars for as long as possible. On that principle alone, it stays with me.
