Canadian man sells both Teslas, cancels Cybertruck order to boycott Elon Musk

AlainRoy says he 'absolutely loves' his two Tesla cars and all the tech features they offer, but the Quebec resident says he can't stand driving them anymore.
A Quebec man says he is selling his two Teslas and cancelling his Cybertruck order because he now refuses to support Elon Musk.
Alain Roy says Musk’s U.S. inauguration day salute was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Musk, the world’s richest man and Tesla founder, has become a polarizing figure in recent months since aligning himself U.S. President Donald Trump.
While Roy says he “absolutely loves” his two Tesla Model Y cars and all the tech features they offer, the South Shore resident told Global News he can’t stand driving it anymore.
“It’s Musk I don’t like,” he said.
Both Roy and his wife each drive a Tesla vehicle, and he was halfway through ordering a third — this time, the Cybertruck.
It was Musk’s now infamous inauguration day gesture, that many described as what looked like a Nazi salute, that ended Roy’s love affair with the Tesla company.
“That sign was too much for me. I immediately cancelled my Cybertruck order and both my Teslas are up for sale right now.”
