Tesla brand damage revealed: Consumers rank its ethics and character near the very bottom of new Axios Harris poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Americans are viewing Tesla in an increasingly negative light, according to an annual survey. Even scandal-hit UnitedHealth Group and the U.K. oil company behind the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe are viewed in a better light.

Evidence is mounting that Elon Musk, widely viewed as the most successful entrepreneur of his generation, is inflicting serious damage on the image of his companies.

On Tuesday, a new Axios Harris annual reputation poll showed that Tesla has continued to fall in the eyes of Americans ever since Musk waded full-on into the nation’s hyper-partisan political debate with the acquisition of Twitter.

Prior to the $44 billion deal, the electric vehicle manufacturer came in eighth place in the reputation ranking of America’s 100 most visible companies in 2021. Last year, however, it dropped to 63rd, and now it is almost at the very bottom, at 95th.
