I really would like to go electric for my wife’s next car and the Model 3 seems perfect. Great lease deals, awesome charging network, decent service location…

However, I really don’t like Musk. I’m sure the other auto maker owners/ heads are deuche bags as well but at least they aren’t vocal about it.

    I encourage you to spend an afternoon watching long format interviews with Elon, some old, some new. You will get a much better sense of who he is than from reading media headlines.

    Keep in mind that Legacy auto and legacy media are essentially conjoined twins.

    Does Musk say some shit that might be better left unsaid? Sure. I still believe he’s a good human and his actions (not words) have consistently proven that time and time again.

      He’s a piece of garbage human being. I’m not sure what is good about that Nazi enabling antisemitic anti trans asshat.

      How about lying about COVID on multiple occasions b/c he wanted his factory open to hit his pay pkg trigger? Defying public health officials to open? Actively posting disinformation about the rate of spread, and the vaccine at a critical time? 100+ million direct followers + n-degree social graph from the richest guy on the planet the avg person thinks is peak intelligence? You think that has any influence on ppl’s behaviors?

      Do you think that’s “good human” stuff?
