That's likely true, but I wonder about the distribution. Annecdata, but among my contacts, opinions about Tesla follows feelings about Musk, ie. it'll have really economic impact.

I was (vaguely) in the former category until I saw his petty vengeance on people who he perceived to have wronged him. Eg. he had a Tesla event and arrived 2 hours late. Someone complained, and Musk had his Tesla order cancelled! However I only truly saw him for what he is when COVID hit and he laughed it away as a bad cold while people were dying.
