#2Ignoring for the moment that the Democrats are obviously not the party of division and hate, the Republicans certainly have very little interest in electrification, and are still pro-coal, oil, and other fossil fuels.
If I was a Tesla board member or shareholder I’d be pretty angry right now.
I wonder if he’s suffering from some kind of mental or emotional problems.

#3Good on him for being prepared to be this overt about his underlying political philosophy. Now, let's make sure the contradictory outcomes of his politics and his financial acumen come to the fore.
Republican federal politics won't ultimately help him, in terms of his bottom line.

#4It matters very little what wealthy influential people vote for. Even considering the fact that they can influence others to vote likewise (or the opposite). Wealth matters more.

#5Tesla is going to tank so hard. The people buying Teslas were wealthy Democrats who thought Musk cared about the environment. Half (maybe more) of the GOP doesn't even care about environmental issues. This is political positioning on his part to get ahead of elections and try to align with the party he thinks will win.
Now watch as he starts pandering towards the GOP regarding his failed Twitter acquisition.

#6Is this somehow related to Tesla being taken out of the S&P ESG index? Seems like it from his timeline but at the same time I'm not seeing a connection between the two.

You might be surprised how little people actually regard the owner's political opinion of the miltibillion dollar corporation from which they just bought a quarter-million dollar car.
I wouldn't even be surprised if a significant percentage of Tesla owners don't even know who owns the company.

I highly doubt it. Musk has always been this petty.
