My friend’s father bought a 2025 Tesla after my friend begged him not to, but a boomer’s gotta boomer. Suffice to say, it hasn’t gone well for him, so the man went and put this decal on his car. My brother in Christ, you are driving a freshly redesigned car. Nobody is going to believe your swastikar is pre-COVID.
Elon went crazy in 2018 at the latest (the Thai cave rescue thing). Anybody who bought one of his cars after that knew what they were getting into.
Depends on, I personally know otherwise very political people who didn’t know about the Thai cave rescue controversy, while others still think he’s “just a bit upset that his child transitioned”, because they read “non-loony lefty sources”, that downplay his transphobia.
Ok, I’ll rephrase: Anybody who bought one of his cars after that only has themselves to blame for being ignorant and shouldn’t expect any absolution from me.
As long as Elon has been in the spotlight I’ve read about what an awful company Tesla is, how innovative SpaceX is but at the same time has horrible leadership to work for.
It was even before 2017 when I tried talking my brother out of buying one because of how clear it was they were cutting corners, hiding behind minimalism to excuse their lacking plastic covered interior.
I refuse to give anyone a pass for buying one, the writing has been on the wall since day one. Any Tesla owner is just another slave to the zeitgeist.
