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 was always a crazy racist cunt. You never bought it before he went crazy. There was no before.
General public sentiment was very positive around 7-8yr ago. We know you’re very smart and special for disliking him before that, but that doesn’t change the fact that most people liked him still.
For my part I got off the train after those kids that got trapped in the cave.
The cave thing was 7 years ago. No one’s gonna judge you if you caught on to Elon’s grift late but some of us follow this kind of news habitually and there have been a whole lot of us “smart and special” types for well over a decade.
Yeah calling the rescuer pedoguy was what did it for me, also yeah, get off your high horse.
I disliked him before that, but that was more like “he overworks his employees and there’s lots of injuries because he prioritizes aesthetics over safety in his factories”, not like “he’s a full blown nazi”.
Back then you could convince yourself the end justifies the means, but one could no longer justify that stance after his Twitter addiction fully took hold. Which was around the time he called that cave diver a pedo.
He was always a grifter type. He created an entire company “Boring company” just to undermine the highspeed rail projects.
Same deal there. Back then the Boring Company seemed misguided, later it was shown to be actually malicious.
Misguided? Right… “lets put self driving cars in a tunnel”… you mean like a subway invented 100+ years ago?
The original concept was a train in a vacuum tube. There are massive challenges with maintaining the vacuum, especially when letting passengers on and off, so it’s quite unrealistic. But eliminating air resistance would be cool in theory.
I hated him quite a bit before that, but no so much that the OG teslas were off my want list.
To this day, I kinda want to buy one of the used cheap fire sale ones and build a kit car out of the motors and batteries. There’s some good engineering here and there, just not as a whole car and not relying on that company for anything.
OG Teslas were off my want list because even though Musk crowed about “open source,” they weren’t actually open in the way that mattered. AFAIK there’s DRM you have to work around if you want to use Tesla parts in a kit car, and it shouldn’t have to be that way.
i have a specific car from the 80s i want to kit out with electric bullshit.
See that sounds like a fun time, if I could trust my self to not screw everything up. Get a classic car, re-kit as electric, enjoy style AND the benefits of electric.
I’ve seen some people do a nice job on some electric VW bugs, kinda hard to hide the batteries though.
Yeah that’s the problem I’m looking at with mine. I would probably have to give up the t top storage to fit the battery
police officers get thousands of upvote on reddit, how much for our boy in blue?

Ya he is raised by an apartheid era emerald mine owner. Basically imagine the son of a plantation owner in antebellum south
