That's nice not everyone payed that close attention, they got sold a car and are now stuck with a shitty reputation by association. Some people are afraid to drive their car because they'll get harassed by people who can only see telsa driver = musk supporter. For all you know they could be borrowing the thing because their's broke down and that's just what the rental shop gave them (because they got a whole bunch of used teslas cheap).
You could blame the buyers for their ignorance, but its pretty normal to have no clue who the CEO/owner is of whatever car brand you buy. How many can name 1 beside Musk or Henry Ford?
