Musk has destroyed the brand. He made a conscious decision to alienate the vast majority of his customer base (political liberals concerned about the environment) to curry favor with people who hate his product and the environment. Now he has alienated the few of those who would buy his product. His sales are crashing and I don't see them recovering while he has anything to do with the business, including owning stock. If Ford is smart, they will buy the brand for pennies on the dollar when it crashes.
