The advert also brings attention to Jaguar’s newly designed logo, which is a stark departure from its decades-old, beloved image of a leaping jaguar. The logo, described as “funky-looking,” represents yet another pivot from tradition as the company attempts to embrace the “modern” world.
This bold rebranding has not been well-received by the public, particularly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Users quickly expressed their disdain, criticizing the ad for its lack of taste and failure to consider the broader cultural implications.
Perhaps the most notable reaction came from none other than Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has seen his company soar in market value to over a trillion dollars. Musk, known for his candid commentary, succinctly asked, “Do you sell cars?”
In a somewhat awkward but humorous exchange, a member of Jaguar’s social media team responded with an invitation to discuss the matter further over tea in Miami, scheduled for December 2nd: “Yes. We’d love to show you. Join us for a cuppa in Miami on 2nd December? Warmest regards, Jaguar.”
Jaguar has long been regarded as one of the most prestigious names in the automotive world, known for producing sleek, high-performance vehicles. The company’s roots trace back to 1922 when it was first founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company, initially focused on motorcycle sidecars before transitioning to cars. The name “Jaguar” debuted in 1935, and after World War II, the brand gained global recognition for models like the Jaguar E-Type, often hailed as one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
Despite its storied history, Jaguar has faced its fair share of financial difficulties. It became part of the British Leyland group before eventually regaining independence in the 1980s. In 2008, Tata Motors, an Indian conglomerate, acquired Jaguar, merging it with Land Rover under the Jaguar Land Rover group.
However, in recent years, the company has made some controversial moves, particularly its shift away from traditional gas-powered vehicles in favor of fully electric models. This decision has left many long-time enthusiasts disappointed, as they feel Jaguar is straying from its core identity.

In a bid to align itself with modernity, Jaguar appears to be doubling down on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, adopting a woke mindset to guide its future. But if history is any indicator, this decision may not resonate well with the brand’s loyal fanbase.
As more companies continue to push the boundaries of woke culture, the backlash only grows louder. Jaguar may soon find out that its attempt to modernize could come at a hefty cost — one that alienates the very audience it has spent nearly a century cultivating.
The question now is whether Jaguar can regain its footing or if this dive into wokeism will be the start of a costly and ill-fated journey away from its roots. If their ad campaign is any indication, the future may not be as bright as the company hopes.
