Why Tesla owners are pasting 'Elon ate my cat' stickers on their cars

Tesla drivers are using bumper stickers to dissociate from Elon Musk's antics and controversies. The so-called regret stickers range from 'I bought it before Elon went nuts', to 'Elon ate my cat' and 'Anti-Elon club'.
The article from Firstpost discusses the phenomenon of Tesla owners expressing their dissatisfaction with Elon Musk through bumper stickers. Despite Tesla's success in the electric vehicle market, some owners are disillusioned with Musk's controversial statements and actions, particularly his political views and management style. These owners are using their vehicles, which are essentially mobile billboards, to voice their discontent. Examples of such bumper stickers include messages like "Elon, stop tweeting" and "Not a Musk fan, but love my Tesla." This trend highlights a divide between the admiration for Tesla's products and the personal or political disagreements with Musk himself. The article also touches on how this reflects broader issues of separating a company's products from its leadership's public persona.
