Musk-shame made me pause the day I completed my Tesla purchase. But any negativity I’ve felt since then is not based on genuine reaction to my car - it has more to do with my skewed social media bubble
The author describes the experience of buying and driving a Tesla in Ireland, noting concerns about the charging network and whether the car was too extravagant. Post-purchase, Elon Musk's political actions and public image made the author question their purchase, drawing parallels to the negative associations of wearing a "red Maga hat." News headlines about Tesla sales declines and protests against Musk further amplified these concerns, raising questions about the ethics of consumer choices beyond just Tesla.
