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.

    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.
