    Why do so many people still use Twitter? Why do so many people still buy Teslas? It seems like everyone hates Elon but not enough to do even the easiest boycott ever.

      Don’t forget that X.com is a child pornography generator.

      Also anyone opposed to all this needs to also boycott grok and anthropic (which pays spacex for compute). But you should probably avoid all ai to be safe.

        That’s grok, which is xAI, which is now SpaceX and now a public company.

        People’s pension funds are investing in a CSAM generator.

      A friend of mine who is a DC comics fan just purchased a Tesla. He’s rationalised everything as “but it’s a good car”. Brother, you just supported real life Lex Luthor while wearing a SuperMan T-shirt…

      In other words; there are people out there who claim pure morals while ignoring heinous and terrible things just to have an extra 100km of range. So what the CEO made decisions that will kill millions? The car now has rear door releases! Think of the safety!

        just to have an extra 100km of range.

        Fake range. They just put a larger number on their screen.

          I sent him an article before his purchase of the testing that was done showing most EV manufacturers were lying about the range, with Tesla being the worst. Didn’t phase him at all.

        Last autumn I spent the day with a surveyor at work, who believed in the new world order, cancel culture, covid vaccines were controlling our minds, IMF conspiracies, etc etc. Also drove a Tesla.

        Teslas have the worst safety ratings from every single electric car. Including the largest fail and defect numbers.

          What you’re not taking into account is how much you can ignore with the right amount of copium. I do hope for his sake nothing goes wrong with the car but if it does he has no one to blame but himself at this point.
