Isn't it basically the only logical conclusion at this point?

If you don't like Musk, you don't like Tesla.

If you like Musk, you believe what he says, and what he's been saying during his ascension to the White House is that EVs are trash. Aren't Teslas EVs?

That's too binary. You can dislike Musk without disliking Tesla, and vice versa.

I think it's rather pointless to avoid companies led by people with politics I dislike, because that is nearly all of them. Hell, I wouldn't have been able to see a movie or watch a TV show for years.

Of course, anything is possible, but your opinion then becomes fringe. I'm trying to answer to the parent's question, which was about general sentiment rather than fringe opinions.
When did Musk say that EVs are trash?

Politics is transitive. What Musk says is less relevant than what he does; what he's done is given anti-EV interests power. (In exchange for gaining his own.)

That's rather an expansive and imaginative interpretation of the facts at hand.
