These are the type of men my daughter and her friends are trying to stay away from because of their toxic masculinity. Of course Musk has now amplified Trump, but is being in the spotlight helping Trump? I read today that he asked a right wing teen influencer that is supposedly his son Barron's best friend to help with his campaign to get Gen Z boys. I think even Trump knows that he does not have a prayer in HE-- with Gen Z girls. Whereas Kamala is running the umbrella campaign. There are even Evangelical Christians for Kamala.
Also, I agree that this is ultimately not a good business model. However, getting a 46 billion dollar pay package must make Musk pretty cocky. I am wondering if his board thinks that keeping him on will be good for the brand. At least one business does not want to buy Teslas anymore. That is Rossmann owner of the second largest drug store chain in Germany. He says he will not buy them anymore because Musk is supporting Trump.
Sixt is a car rental company. These two German brothers own one of the largest car rental companies in the world which is also worth billions. SAP is a German multinational software company, also a multibillion € company. So, some of the billionaires in Germany do not seem to want the billionaires in the USA to buy the US election because they don't want Trump.
Sixt (and US-based Hertz) are dropping Tesla not so much for political reasons, but because people just don't want to rent them. Apparently, the idea of spending hours at a charging station before returning the rental for an early-morning flight does not appeal to everybody.
There were other economic reasons (dramatic loss of resale value, high repair bills). I won't rule out that politics made the decision easy, but it probably wasn't the major factor.
The only other car rental that had Teslas, albeit in small numbers, was Enterprise in their luxury division, and last I checked, they also seem to have quietly removed them from their inventory. That was before Musk went openly right-wing, though.

I love this article because I had been hearing about Republicans for Harris and Mormons for Harris, but now this. https://charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/wait-evangelicals-for-harris

That might be true of Sixt, and Enterprise, but Rossmann has been very public on not supporting Musk because he supports Trump.
