This statement is a false equivalence fallacy. It's equating two unrelated things as being the same or equivalent, when in reality they are not. Buying a Tesla is a consumer decision, while voting for a political candidate is a political decision. The two are not equivalent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence#:~:text=A%20false%20equivalence%20or%20false,%22comparing%20apples%20and%20oranges.%22
