Canadian Man Sells Teslas, Cancels Cybertruck to Boycott Elon Musk
So, here’s something interesting—imagine loving your Tesla, the cutting-edge technology, the smooth electric drive, everything about it... but then deciding to sell not one, but two of them, just because of who runs the company. That’s exactly what happened with Alain Roy, a man from Quebec, who recently made headlines by selling both of his Teslas and canceling his Cybertruck order. And the reason? Elon Musk.
Now, Roy wasn’t just some casual Tesla owner. He and his wife each had a Model Y, and he was even in the process of getting the highly anticipated Cybertruck. But all of that changed when Musk, who has always been a controversial figure, took things a step too far in Roy’s eyes. It was Musk’s gesture during the U.S. presidential inauguration—something many interpreted as a Nazi salute—that made Roy say, “That’s it. I’m done.”

Roy admits that he still loves the cars, but he can’t separate the product from the man behind it anymore. He said, “It’s Musk I don’t like.” And for him, supporting Tesla meant supporting Musk, which he simply wasn’t willing to do anymore.
This isn’t just an isolated incident. There’s a growing movement of Tesla owners feeling conflicted about their vehicles. Some are embarrassed, others are selling their cars, and Tesla clubs are even distributing bumper stickers that say, “I bought this before Elon went crazy.” The controversy surrounding Musk—his political ties, his public statements, and now this latest scandal—has started to impact Tesla’s reputation.
On the other hand, not everyone thinks abandoning Tesla is the right move. Some argue that Tesla is much bigger than just Musk. Thousands of brilliant engineers and employees work there, and boycotting the brand doesn’t necessarily hurt Musk directly. Still, Tesla sales have reportedly dipped in Europe, the UK, and Australia, suggesting this isn’t just a Canadian thing.
So, what do you think? Is it possible to love the technology but hate the CEO? Or is Elon Musk’s influence over Tesla just too big to ignore?
