> Service is the reason I'm selling my Tesla. (Well, it was the first reason. What Elon says in public is the other. Embarrassing.)

Considering the founders of a few other car companies have said or done truly horrible things[0][1], I'm curious what Elon has said that is so beyond the pale.

You are pointing to people who have been long dead and made comments when there wasn't a much of a backlash against such things.

Elon isn't the founder of Tesla, he's the CEO of Tesla. I'm pretty sure Henry Ford isn't Ford's current CEO.

Is your point "Some very horrible people were nonetheless successful so it's OK for them to be horrible"?

No, the obvious point was asking you what Musk said that you find so unsavory? The other implied point was if you’re going to sell your Tesla because you find Musk appalling, what other car manufacturer are you going to support, since other founders have also said or done unappealing things?

Because he’s a right-wing oligarch who pretends to care about the environment but really want to leave us on earth with his ewaste. And if someone can’t see that and works for Tesla, how could they competently build a car? They can’t, it seems.
