That's the risk when your brand is a "status symbol" and the company is closely linked with your personality.
Steve Jobs knew how to do this well. Elon is no Steve Jobs...
Imagine Steve Jobs taking to Twitter calling all doctors pedos for trying to fix cancer with chemotherapy instead of fructose syrup.
Funny that you mention the fructose as Jobs died from treating his cancer "..with a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbs, bowel cleansings, and other remedies that he found online. At one point, he even reached out to a psychic."
I mean, Jobs was a notorious asshole by basically all non-consumer accounts. If modern social media were 10-15 years older, he would totally have been raving batshit insane stuff. And, if the unverifiable "company stories" my buddy at Apple has shared are true... it would have been fucked.
But that gets to the crux of it. It is more or less "the Tom Cruise problem" as it were. Tom is a notoriously batshit insane cultist with a LOT of ties to people being "disappeared" and abused. He is also a RIDICULOUSLY good actor with an agent who knows how to get him the best films. So most of us try to not think about how evil he is as we cheer for Ethan Hunt or whatever.
And, for all my dislike of Apple products, they are quality (except the fucking mouse).
teslas are very much not "quality" by car standards and most of their branding is built on the cult of personality alone.
At the Trader Joe's, it used to be 20% Teslas but now it's like 1 or 2.
