LA Times op-ed writer is 'embarrassed' to drive environment-saving Tesla because of Musk
Fox News
Former Playboy magazine editor John Blumenthal published an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times Wednesday lamenting owning a Tesla in light of Elon Musk’s politics.
"Because of the recent revelation of Elon Musk’s political views — all of which I abhor — I’m starting to worry about what sort of political statement the car is making. Will people see me as a symbol of right-wing environmentalism, a living oxymoron?" Blumenthal asked. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

He insisted that this apprehension was motivated by Musk’s aim to turn Twitter into an "unsupervised playground for neo-Nazis and other random hatemongers and wackadoodle QAnon followers."
