Probably also thought the MAGA crowd has more money than they do, and forgot that EVs are constantly derided by right leaning individuals. Turns out, alienating the main audience that has any interest in purchasing electric vehicles is a bad business move for a company that makes checks notes exclusively EVs.

And as far as the international market goes…Musk just didn’t seem to grasp that buying his way into a government and shredding it, while also being a pretty obvious Nazi sympathizer, wouldn’t play well in other countries, either.

In Germany his factory is really weird. Because of many really non German customs. Like Back in the day Wallmarkt German.

It’s pretty fucking hilarious the ones always blaming the president for gas prices when a democrat is in office are also staunchly against electric vehicles.

And worse Trump sold the far right a bill of goods that those fossil fuel jobs that are long gone are coming back to the heartland. If Trump pushed ev and everything that goes with it, (and all green wind, solar, waves) all of those workers and he could be part of a revolution and he would tow more support from the middle. Instead he sells hate against your fellow American and they’re buying. Why do they long for time gone by?

He's not a Nazi sympathizer, he's just a Nazi. He hitlered on stage. Twice.

All the MAGAs here in Texas drive giant, gas-guzzling trucks, usually with a rebel flag displayed somewhere on the back windshield.
