    All owners that they can find in various leaks/databases when I checked last week.

    And musk has been a known evil dipshit since at least 2018 when he threw a hissy fit because the divers who rescued those kids didn’t use musk branded products. He accused one of the divers of being a pedophile and actively devoted resources to “proving” this.

    Let alone the countless stories of musk being a sex pest (remember having to buy a woman a pony because of whatever he did to her?)

    So, at best, people can argue “I didn’t care enough to do any research on what I bought and accidentally enabled a nazi.”. At which point… I really don’t give a fuck? Its the same as the people who couldn’t be bothered to do any research and were surprised to hear that biden apparently wasn’t on the ballot.

    Their apathy is causing untold horror to at risk groups and the global economy. So they can go fuck themselves.

    And, totally anecdotal: I have seen fucked up teslas in parking lots next to un-fucked ones that just had a “I bought this before he went insane” or “I hate him too” bumper sticker.

      Do you buy Nestle products? Do you buy anything from Amazon? Do you drive an ICE car and purchase gas for it?

      If you do any of these things you’re an evil piece of shit Nazi and deserve to have your possessions burned to nothing (per your logic)

      I can honestly say I don’t research the political affiliations and actions of every CEO of every product I purchase.

        You can’t argue with these people, anyone who owns a tesla deserves to have it destroyed in their minds.

        Okay? Then don’t expect me or anyone else to research the political affiliation of the owner of the tesla we see on the street to decide if they are a hateful pro-nazi prick or not?

          Germans in 1945: Sorry I am not political.

          Russians 2022: Not political.

          USA 2025: I did not know, it was only in the media for years everywhere.

            Actual 90% of Americans: I’m busy trying to survive daily life working essentially paycheck to paycheck, maybe working two or three jobs and a side gig to make ends meet, commuting over an hour each way to work, being overly stressed from work, having to pay for some of the most expensive healthcare on the planet even with work provided insurance, and never able to afford to take a real vacation or even time to sit back and look at anything not directly part of my daily struggles to survive in current society. When I do look around, half of politics is telling me I’m lazy and the other half is talking about things that don’t affect my daily struggles.

            Meanwhile both of the groups say the other is lying all the time and I don’t have the time or energy to look into it before I have to get to bed so I can get up and do it all over again tomorrow. And in the morning, my car breaks down again, and repairing it wipes out the little savings I did manage to have for a while. Now I’m worried that I might be fired because I am late to work again because of car trouble and lack of good public transit options.


            Our society has been manufactured over the last 100 years to get people to the point we don’t have the free time or enough money to effectively see what’s happening and fight back without having to completely destroy our lives in the process.

                You do realize that the Model 3 has been available brand new for like $37k for 4 years now, and used ones obviously cheaper than that. That’s not exactly cheap, but it’s where the vast majority of EV prices are targeted, not the high end anymore.

                Tesla is no longer an exclusively $80k+ luxury brand despite what so many people online seem to think still. The vast majority of Tesla vehicles ever made aren’t the Model S or X, they are the Model 3 and Y in just the last few years. Hell, half of Toyota’s current vehicle lineup is $40k or more.

              If you put yourself above others, which almost everyone does, then yes, that is the logical conclusion. There is nothing you can do, as everything you do might make it worse for you. So regardless of how obviously better in the grand scheme of things, people do not do it. That is how almost every human “is programmed” and I do not know if we will every get beyond this primitive thinking.

              but still kept contempt enough to not make huge riots, and uprisings like with other countries, its just enough for you to not fight the “aristocrats”, of course decades of propaganda helps, because without “being content gets you so far”

                That’s handled largely by the lack of ability to take time off. And then there’s wage stagnation. It not only means increased company profits, but on the national scale it helps ensure any people do not make enough money to build up any savings.

                They’ve created a very effective system where most don’t have the paid time off from work, can’t afford to call in, and also don’t have the savings to afford the time to find a new job.

      Elon was a dipshit in 2018 yes… So are 90% of CEOs, and 100% of modern “Republicans”. Most just aren’t as publicly vocal because they don’t make themselves the face of their brands. The Republican party hasn’t actually supported their stated viewpoints in decades, and few members of the general public have noticed. They just take what they’re told and allowed the shift.

      Being a dipshit is different from actively supporting a fascist takeover of the government. Regardless of what you might want to claim, there is a shift there. You’re an idiot if you can’t see the public shift in the last few years. He may always have been this way,but he wasn’t as vocally and publicly supportive of it. It used to just be shit takes on events for publicity, not the active lead of the country’s destruction.
