Rather than "validating" it, I'm experiencing it. That's why I believe in a forum of generally highly educated people like Hacker News, we would be better off not mixing those topics and talking about politics.
It is not "politics". It is an ethical stance rooted in opposing actions that undermine human rights, democracy, and equality. When a government enacts policies that deny people's existence, strip protections, and erode freedoms, supporting entities aligned with that government enables those harms. Economic choices reflect values, and choosing not to support businesses tied to oppressive systems is a means of accountability, not mere political disagreement. It transcends "politics" by standing firmly for fundamental human decency and justice.
Much apologist to a man who non ambiguously did what he did and saying other people to refrain from talking about it? No, we should absolutely talk about this precedent in recent history regardless of a fact that we are on a technical forum.
But Tesla is involved in politics, in multiple fronts: as a lobbyist of government, as a company owned by someone getting deeply in cahoots with politicians, as a stock being used as collateral for political purchases of media (Twitter).
What you are asking is wishful thinking, Tesla has became political because of Elon, there is no way to dissociate this relationship.
You deciding to purchase a Tesla even with the moral hazards does have consequences, shame and laws are the only tools against moral transgressions, you are just experiencing the pressure of that tool which is exactly the point...
Either live with your decision and its consequences or do not buy a Tesla associated with Musk.
