*Tesla Customers are allegedly canceling their car orders because Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk made a joke about “pronouns”.
As Moguldom reports, Musk’s tweets are “creating real damage for the Tesla brand,” Mario Natarelli, managing partner at the MBLM agency — which studies consumer relations with companies — told Automotive News.
“When I see people commenting that they are no longer considering a Tesla car or are embarrassed to drive it, I think that’s reaching the point of significant equity damage for the brand. When we run our study for 2023, we’re going to see that represented.”
Many Tesla customers have called out Musk over his polarizing tweets.

My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 11, 2022
Musk “is the CEO of a publicly traded company. That makes him the brand ambassador of Tesla. Shitposting daily to piss off potential customers is terrible brand stewardship. He is not some random dude with a pov. he has a fiduciary responsibility to Tesla shareholders,” Steven Cohn tweeted.
In a Dec. 13 article, Moguldom writes, “Tesla stock was trading at $161.81 as of this writing — a 53 percent discount from its historical average. It’s the “cheapest valuation” since 2018, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said wrote in an email to Yahoo Finance”
After Musk tweeted that his pronouns are “Prosecute/Fauci,” many Twitter users called for a Tesla boycott on Dec. 12.
MSNBC correspondent Noor Norman said Musk’s tweet was “anti-Fauci and anti-trans”.
“I, myself, delayed coming out as trans and publicly changing my pronouns precisely because of the fear produced by this hostile climate in which trans people are both the punchline and the enemy,” Norman wrote.
The decline of Tesla’s stock price means “that @elonmusk is officially no longer the richest man in the world,” tweeted Brianna Wu Moguldom reports. “This has lost more than 1/2 it’s value. I’ve seen compelling analysis than a $50 stock price is generous.”
