Here's something that investors who own Tesla stock or are considering buying some might

want to consider. Forget about the labor or racial discrimination issues for the moment. Just focus on hard-nosed business considerations.

Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Tesla, just publicly stated that he will "vote Republican" in the next election cycle.

Think about that.

Do YOU know who the Republican candidate will be?

Neither does he, yet---WHOEVER it may be---he has made a decision to vote for that person.

Does that sound like prudent decision-making?

Is that the sort of "shoot from the lip" management you want working with YOUR money?

That investigation is supposedly the source of this outburst/statement from him.

Of course, his statement is deeply flawed given how it's the Republican party which is full of hatred (the reason he said he was no longer voting Dem).
