What a cheap mother fucker Tesla and Elon are. Could have just paid for the pies and come out looking good. But instead nickel and dimes for just the ingredients. When you’re a billionaire. Fuck outta here.

what's sad is... the small business owner is at least publicly grateful.

Kinda has to be. Too easy for Elon to turn it into a shit storm against her otherwise

Well others have ordered from all over the place. The bad publicity actually helped her business.

Yeah but if Elon could make her look like the unreasonable one, he could essentially start a witch hunt from within his own cult. That can do worse things than just negatively impact the bottom line.

He could start it just by tweaking the twitter algrothium. He could make them disappear from twitter just as easily as well.

Tbf, this time it didn't seem like Elon was behind this, probably some manager in the dealership. The article also said he commented they would pay her when he heard the news.

Yeah, this isn't really a "Tesla Bad" type story. It's a "every multibillionaire dollar company is out of touch and doesn't care" type story.

Honestly, I think it's a store manager is an asshole, but happens to work for a company that's an easy target story.
