Angry Tesla owners are applying regret stickers with savage message onto their vehicles

The Tesla community is speaking out

Some Tesla owners are not happy with boss Elon Musk, with some applying stickers to their vehicles to show their distaste.

Few people seem to be quite as Marmite as Elon Musk, with it either being a case of loving or loathing the world's richest man. From his early days of making $175.8 million when PayPal was sold to eBay in 2002, it's been an upward trajectory for Mr. Musk.

Alongside his roles in founding SpaceX and controversially buying Twitter before turning it into X, he's known as the CEO (but not founder) of Tesla - helping put electric vehicles on the map.

We've come a long way from the Tesla Roadster, and these days, we tend to associate the futuristic and tank-like Cybertruck with the EV company. Musk shows no signs of stopping his plans of being an automotive Willy Wonka, unveiling the Cybercab and Robovan in October 2024.

Outside the world of his business endeavors, a lot of Musk's controversy comes from his views online and more into the political sphere. As the self-declared 'First Buddy' of President Donald Trump, Musk has earned himself a lucrative position as the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency.

If his political leanings weren't already putting some Tesla owners off, he's also tried to insert himself into foreign politics and was even branded a 'national enemy' by one UK politician.

Elon Musk recently hit headlines when he was accused of perming a 'Nazi gesture' at Donald Trump's inauguration celebrations, and while he's said it's just the media trying to paint him in a negative light, it's not exactly won him many new fans.

As for the Tesla community, an Instagram post from the clothing brand CHNGE mocks Musk in a carousel of Tesla bumper stickers that call out the company CEO.

One reads, "Bought it before we knew how awful he was," while another directly names him and says, "I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy."

Others in the comments were quick to share their thoughts on the situation, with someone else chuckling: "I saw one yesterday that said 'I like the car, not the CEO'."

Another joked about Musk's vision for a technological future and said: "A man that wants to fill all of our jobs with robots, how did u not see it sooner??"

It wasn't all bashing Elon, with someone else concluding: "Love how people are bashing the sticker as if all other car companies are run by honest loving people.

"Yes, people should stop buying Teslas after his most recent antics but to pretend like people originally purchased them because they liked Musk is just as irrational."

Musk’s supporters are sure to rally behind him, and although there are plenty of Tesla and Cybertruck owners that worship the ground he walks on, there was a recent backlash to the inauguration scandal where some said they genuinely won't be buying another vehicle from the automotive giant again.

Then again, there were many agreeing with the comment on the Instagram post that read: "If you can afford a Tesla you can afford to get rid of it."
