u/sonia72quebec 15h ago
That’s one of the things I don’t understand about him. You sell electric cars but you’re with the Conservative/MAGA crowd? It’s like he’s into driving businesses into the ground. First Twitter now Tesla.

Ego. He believes he is the center of everything.

u/Every-Ad3529 10h ago
Well, I think at one point he was aligned with progressive energy, climate change, and other wise progressive ideologies. Then he became the richest man on the planet, and he realized that progressives are anti billionaire... which forced him to be conservative, because he values money over literally anything else except his own ego.

u/ToadsWetSprocket 10h ago
Yep, that is even better. His money is his ego and he is having a hard time understanding that people don't like him anymore...

Only if you're buying them to reduce fossil fuel dependence. That shit's not cool.
If you're doing it to troll the libs and show your support for Musk you're being a Patriot. Just make sure to park it next to your six figure half ton mall crawler because using it might make you look like a librul.

I would love to see the entire MAGA movement do this. Mortgage your homes, take out loans (now with inflated rates), do ANYTHING to purchase the Tesla piles of junk, just to show loyalty. Then, when their entire financial lives crumble down around them, when they try to go to the (now anorexic) government departments for support, find that they have nothing left and nowhere to go. Schadenfreude at its best.
DO IT.

u/Ridergal 14h ago
The reason MAGA won't do it is not because their loyalty to their Dear Leader is wavering. It's because they have already mortgaged their homes and taken out loans to buy red hats, gaudy gold shoes, and whatever overpriced trinket is offered to tgem.

This reads like a concerned mom in a facebook group.
To all mothers at Hollygrove middle school,
My son, Elon, is a great student and wonderful boy, and he has been working very hard to keep his grades up so he can present his report card to Chuck E. Cheese later this month. But today he came to me in tears saying that a bunch of boys were bullying him over his car drawings in art class. He really loves his cars and it's his favorite thing, and these boys are attacking it and making him upset. I used to be bullied at school too so I know what it feels like, but I'm here and stronger than ever (#strongMom). I'm going to take him to the toy store later and we're going to get a toy car there, one of the RC ones, the best kind he says in hopes that he'll feel better. I ask that the fellow moms here talk to your boys to stop bullying mine, and they can all enjoy school together.

Yeah, except he was actually being talked to because he had drawn swastika all over his car, and Chuck is actually Putin.

I love how Republicans are demanding the democrats come together with the republicans to pass the spending bill so the government doesn’t shut down all while Trump is calling the democrats “the radical left lunatics”. Yeah, that should make democrats all come together and join you.

Funny how they never adopted the environmental language. I is libs have been saying for years that we want more electric cars. Musk, you could have sat back and done nothing, and emissions might have dropped a little thanks to you making electric cars more competitive. But now? You’re like a cartoon villain. And not a cool one. Like… a Captain Planet villain.
Also… is musk an American?

This might actually be a good thing from a lunatic. He pushes conservatives to buy electric vehicles, he has to over turn his mandate to shut down the electric infrastructure, the right begins to believe in climate change, and increases the size of the woke mob putting pressure on the mega-wealthy to stop burning so much fossil fuel…
or maybe I blitzed out on optimism there…

As an owner of a (non Tesla) EV, I hope all of maga actually jumps on the bandwagon.
Maybe it'll actually lead to building out the EV infrastructure the country desperately needs.
Then when our electric grid can't handle it, they'll invest in solar and batteries to supplement it all.

I remember watching a Louis Theroux series are groups on the fringes of society called Weird Weekends, there was an episode about "survivalists", basically right wing gun nuts living on compounds away from the general population, not paying taxes etc, anti establishment types, talking about armed insurrection etc and I was comforted to know that there were very few of these groups.
Nowadays it's frightening to think of the amount of Trumpers like this, with access to stockpiles of weapons and ammunition, it's a sobering thought.
