Tesla owners replace logos to distance from Elon Musk

Many have replaced the Tesla emblem with Toyota, Mazda, or Honda logos. Photos of these modified cars have gone viral, sparking debate online.

The trend follows growing controversy surrounding Elon Musk.

His ties to the U.S. president and leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have drawn criticism. Some Tesla owners fear being targeted due to Musk’s political stance.

Viral images show tesla cars with altered logos

On social media, a user named SKRT shared an image on Facebook showing some Tesla owners changing logos to avoid vandalism amid the Elon Musk controversy.

While, several viral photos depict Tesla vehicles with makeshift brand swaps. One image shows a Tesla Cybertruck with a Toyota logo crudely pasted on the back.

They wrote: “Some Tesla owners appear to be rebranding their vehicles with different logos, possibly to avoid vandalism.”

This sparked amusement and criticism online.

One person said: Many Tesla owners bought their cars before Elon got political. They can’t just sell them at a loss.

A second wrote: The ‘ we bought it before he went nuts’ sticker works as well…

While a third commented: Like people can’t tell it’s a tesla by looking at it… Especially the Cyber brick.. “it’s a Toyota I swear” while it’s shaped like an obtuse angle.

Another added: I had no idea Musk was like this.

Someone else said: No its old foto, just for fun. Tesla is one of the best EV.
