I said that to convey that practical family considerations (car is dependable, safe, requires little maintenance) outweigh things like "Elon is a good or bad person" and "I do/don't like his participation in American politics". When I didn't have a family, I could buy a car based on looks or speed or the politics of the CEO.

I didn't mean to imply that my reasoning has more gravitas than someone else's, it's that my priorities may be different because of my situation. Different priorities are fine! Hopefully there's a car for everyone.
