Two wrongs do not make a right.
All my arguments hold even if Musk and Trump are the devil incarnate. In fact, they may be the devil that convinces people to take their eye off the ball of climate change. They are exploiting people's emotions and hatred to do damage to the fight against climate change.
It doesn't matter what Musk Tweets, It doesn't matter how shitty Trump is. If you use that as an excuse to do anything less that 100% of what you can to help in the fight against climate change, then you are a climate change denier who doesn't really believe we're in a fight for our lives.

I can just buy a Rivian? I know nothing of RJ Scaringe's political views, and it feels excellent.

His political views don't matter, actions are what matter. As long as you know he isn't using your money to buy the United States government and remove the EPA, you can feel confident that your purchase will not be counterproductive.
They're already getting that when the leader of Tesla is in bed with the political party that denies climate change. You're also comparing a theoretical harm with an active and ongoing one.
