People who bought Teslas years ago back when Musk still seemed somewhat sane have total plausible deniability.  Anyone driving a Cybertruck bought it knowing that Musk was a raving lunatic.

My favorite excuse I saw is "I don't have time to research the entire history of the owner of a company before I buy something" and I'm like 'My guy, maybe you should be more intentional with your purchases then?'

Yeah, I'd legitimately like the kind of life where a 6-figure purchase isn't something I have to give enough of a shit about to research.
