if they see their own investment dwindling, they will give him a golden parachute.

And he'll go "That guy is now the CEO, I realized that I have to focus my time on (space)X, he will continue my vision"

One could hope. I love Tesla. Great technology. Great cars. Just need an adult to run it.

So people who drank the Kool-Aid love the shitty car? Who would have guessed?

No, people who own them like them. I get you have weird thing about Elon but to me it’s a car.

What is my "weird thing" about Elon?

Is it that he thinks that I'm both a fake white person and am oppressing real white people? Because he says that's the actual truth.

It is weird to have a "thing" about someone who thinks that is "the actual truth" about you.

It also has nothing to do with his shitty cars.

Thanks for confirming my point.

Do you own a Tesla? Of course not but you feel the need to tell me about mine. That’s an Elon hater in action.

When you en one then you can tell me about them

I didn't say anything about your Tesla, I didn't even know you owned one.

That’s an Elon hater in action.

Dude, Elon hates me.

Because of who my parents and their parents were.

Well don’t invite him over for dinner then. That’ll teach him.

What are you even talking about?

Nothing will "teach" an antisemite.

It still has nothing to do with his shitty cars and I still didn't know you owned one.

But it does reveal what kind of person you are that you casually dismiss Musk's overt bigotry as if it is a "don't invite him to dinner" sort of thing.

It has nothing to do with the cars but haters have to talk about Elon. Tesla employs over 100,000 people. I am not going to disparage them over Elon being a tool.

I can separate the product from the man. It appears you can’t.

I’ve been very pleased with my car. I plan to buy the truck based on my m3 experience. While you want not like them, the people that own them do.

I don't know how many more times I have to say that it has nothing to do with his shitty cars, but you do seem to be ignoring it, so I'll say it again, this time in big letters:

It has nothing to do with his shitty cars.

Elon being a tool.

You must come from immense privilege to see someone as rich and powerful as Elon spew overt bigotry and merely call him 'a tool' as if he couldn't utilize his bigotry and wield actual power with it.

I’ve been very pleased with my car. I plan to buy the truck based on my m3 experience.

I really don't care.

However, out of curiosity: Do you agree with Elon that Jews are not white? Do you agree with Elon that Jews oppress white people?

enjoy your truck that you’re barred from reselling under threat of being banned from buying any tesla product ever again. stipulations like that are how I KNOW it’s a great product! this koolaid is so fucking good omg

Is it really a weird thing?

Yes. If you can’t separate a man from a product then it’s weird. If you obsess over his wealth it’s weird. Liking a car says nothing about Elon. I believe in the environment and it’s the best electric car on the market.

Hating a billionaire for causing the world to be a worse place is not "obsessing over wealth". That's quite literally just bootlicker rhetoric to shield the billionaire class. Fuck all billionaires, but especially Musk.

There are so many better options out there that don't encourage the board to keep a racist, sexist, rightwing nut job in charge. It's not 2018 anymore, I encourage you to take a look at other options.

The last uber I was in was a Tesla (a Model Y) and it felt like the door was going to come off when I closed it. Not to mention the lack of buttons and the fact that you have to turn your body 45° and look down to see your current speed. Is that really the "best electric car on the market"? I really don't think you'd be saying that if you were actually willing to explore the market and leave the walled garden.

Thanks. I’ll stick my Tesla I’ve tried other electric cars and they are not comparable at all.

Yeah, I doubt that, seeing the rest of your comments here and seeing your post history. Maybe in 2018?

Anyway, sure, keep supporting a racist, sexist, rightwing man child. Even if they were "the best electric cars" on the market (they really aren't), I would avoid them just because of Musk. I wouldn't be able to publicly display the fact that I gave my money to a blood emerald mine owner's racist, sexist nepo baby.

I hope your ignorance never wanes so that you can continue to live in your fantasy land. 🙏

I’m fine giving my money to Tesla and helping employ 100,000 people in green technology.

Sorry you are obsessed with Elon.
