Pissing off your primary customer base probably isn't smart. I don't see MAGA buying electric cars. In foreign markets BYD is a better value.

He did become the world's richest man and he bought himself and election so I wouldn't under estimate him.

I personally think he and Tesla can weather this current decline in sales and make it to a world where most people have an electric car. At that point, most MAGA types around the world might just choose a Tesla over cheaper better alternatives for the status, same way many American men buy pavement princess pickup trucks over cheaper, higher utility alternatives.

I don't like him. But I could see this happening

IF the Maga types would be buying electric cars it'd probably be a Dodge with horns or something alike. Sleek/futuristic was never their thing to begin with.

"I don't see MAGA buying electric cars"

The most vehement Trump supporters I know have been Musk fans since the time he supported Babylon Bee when they were kicked off Twitter.

They believe that the Climate Change stuff is all a big con to get government money, of course.

And those MAGA now have Tesla's and Starlink because.

no they don't. and the sales numbers prove it.

these people do exist, 404media reported on them. We're talking a small small group here. Not enough to keep a car company afloat.

The only thing I see MAGAs buying a few of are the Teslas, most wouldn't get caught dead in a Model 3 or Y

The most vehement Trump supporters are not the type of demographic that will make enough purchases of Teslas and Starlink to make any difference overall to the company...
