The above mentioned Elon Factor?

Yeah, I mean sure, maybe that's all there is to it, but he's been a high-profile asshole for years now. He's definitely changed, but that change happened years ago, it's not a new problem.

I guess it's possible that maybe it's just taken this long to catch up with him though.

My two cents are that it's more important to support the company that's building the best EVs, and the positive impact Tesla has on the world is way bigger than whatever negative effects Elon's tweets are having, but I can definitely relate to folks' discomfort. I wish we had the old Elon back.

I agree with almost your entire comment, but I hope they boot Elon and bring JB in as CEO. Elon has no humility and empathy, JB does (at least from my brief interactions years ago). Old Elon is gone I fear, but maybe he finds himself, I really hope so. Story isn’t over yet.

Yeah, I think that's a great idea, I would love to see that happen.
