>many people buy teslas for the statement it makes about their views and priorities

You're right about this. That's a stupid reason to buy a car, though, and indeed a stupid reason to buy anything.

If the environment is a priority for you, is it stupid that you buy an electric vehicle and partially hope that it encourages others to do the same? And would it be stupid if you regretted that Musk was needlessly muddying that?

I don't think either situation is ridiculous.

Buying things that fit your world view is stupid? Climate change is very serious.
