Don't really understand the energy spent on this matter. Just vote with your wallet. Don't like Tesla? Awesome. Don't buy one. Like them? Go ahead.

People are allowed to like and dislike things and not everything is run on a manichean paradigm of extreme hyperbole where things are absolute shit or the best thing that's ever happened.

A Tesla seems, objectively, like an okay car that's fun but usually comes with drawbacks and QA issues. Some will be more enthused by the latest gadget. Some wont.

Then after that, Musk as a public figure, the bro hype, stupid dodgecoin memes, etc... All of that is just noise.

Makes no difference one way or the other. Reddit will slowly die over the coming months and years, much like previous social media sites have done. It's over as soon as they want to IPO. There are good, valid reasons to sometimes go against the immediate,higher-profit choice. And sometimes that reason is not alienating your user base by insulting their shared culture. Because doing something like that will get you higher profits now, but will represent diminishing returns later.

It's over for reddit, they just don't know it yet.
