Exclusive: Tesla's brand loyalty collapsed after Musk backed Trump, data shows Chris Kirkham – Reuters Tesla for years had more repeat U.S. customers than any other major automotive brand but its loyalty has plunged since CEO Elon Musk endorsed President Donald Trump last summer, according to data from research firm S&P Global Mobility shared exclusively with Reuters.
