I like to ask rather than assume. One answer is maybe you think the money will be used to do evil.
I don’t really think that’s true. We know tesla is a large company and most of that money will be going to employees and a small percentage to shareholders (this board contains many).
So what I suspect they mean is they are concerned about their personal image which is why the “stench” imagery was used.
Do you seriously believe that most of “that money” will go to the employees?
Big chunk of the revenue might go to employees but Tesla is massively overvaluated company whose market cap is dominated by fictitious capital not tied to any real asset. Its hype believe magic money - a big speculation. And none of that money ever goes to any employee. It all goes to shareholders.
If anything by buying Tesla you are helping to keep this hype alive.

Yes I just looked at their 10k.
80% of the cost of the Tesla is materials and manufacturing (small part of that is employees). Of the remaining 20%, 10% goes to sales and marketing and R&d, where labor is the dominant cost (employees).
