My dh is insistent we get a Tesla. I am insistent we do not due to difference in opinion with Elon. AIBU?

Are you politically aligned with the CEOs of all the other companies you buy stuff from then?

Yes this, I often spend years and years snooping and stalking business owners to check out their lifestyles, politics, frequency of towel washing. Unless Im satisfied I dont buy their goods.

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than give musk money - he’s a grade A cunt

Perhaps have another chat with Elon and see if you can come to some sort of agreement this time.

Tell your H that better EVs are available and that driving a brand new Tesla will give him zero street cred - people will not think he is cool, they will think he is a brown nosing Elon Musk loving Trump supporting right wing twat.

Yep. That’s pretty much what we think of our neighbour.

If you’re contributing then you’re not unreasonable. If he wants one let him pay for it.
