That won't last long. All those elitist leftists tree huggers can't be
seen in a Prius.

When I worked in the land of smoke and mirrors I worked on a
project for a major social media company that was perceived as having
behaved in a manner that favored one political party over the other. I
got to see people's reaction to this up close and personal. It wasn't
pretty. That company is still doing well, BUT, the controversy put a significant dent in their bottom line. It looks like the stock holders
are worried because Musk could easily do the same thing for Tesla. The
way social media works it doesn't even have to be a fair and accurate perception.
