>Every time this guy tweets, I regret my purchase more and more.

You are certainly free to feel however you like about your own purchases, but I have to say, I don't understand it. Either you like the car or you don't. If you do -- great! Drive away. If you don't -- sell it. Don't see what the WFH policy of Tesla has to do with anything.

Tesla employees are adults. They are not trapped by poverty wages. They are professionals. They can leave if they don't like it.

I'm a die-hard WFH'er and also not a CEO. Musk should run his company how he feels best.

You don’t care anything about who the money from your purchases flow too? In most cases I don’t, because I don’t have much insight into it. But to the extent that I can keep my money from going to people I despise, I think it makes sense to do so.

It makes sense from a pre-purchase perspective, but in a post-purchase state -- what's done is done; regretting a purchase has no impact on the world.

many people buy teslas for the statment it makes about their views and priorities. so its not surprising those same people dislike when its not just about the environment amd now tangled up with musks world view of the day.

You're right about this. That's a stupid reason to buy a car, though, and indeed a stupid reason to buy anything.

I think this is a naïve view. If you do not like the next leader in your country, you'll not complain since you are not a trapped adult, and you'll emigrate instead?

People have a right to expect reasonable policies from their employers. It should not be "I'm the CEO, I'll do whatever I damn well please and you either take it or leave".

We are not in the 1800's anymore.

No, they don't have this right. What the 'people' might find unreasonable can be, in fact, very reasonable from the point of view of their employers, who quite possibly have far more knowledge about the best way to run an organization. They also have far more responsibilities than workers, the biggest of which is paying the salary. The employee can get away with not doing any work for months, which is relatively easy on remote. Try getting away with not paying salary!

To combat unreasonable policies, people DO have a different right: to quit and find a job they like more.

I would agree with you in most cases, but somehow can never convince myself to stay at Trump hotel ever!
