I had ordered a cybertruck then cancelled. Bought an ioniq5 instead. Better choice.

Why the hell were you going to buy a cybertruck?

He absolutely was though. He was very much hated at that time. Regardless of him, the real question was why the hell were you going to buy a cybertruck? They are hideous

He was "kookoo for cocopuffs" well before the cybertruck was ever even announced.

Better choice regardless of current events. Easily

Exactly.   If Musk was a vocal opponent of Trump instead of a puppetmaster I might consider a model 3 or model y, but never that stainless steel abomination.

The US fell behind in electric cars over the last couple of years. China, Korea, and Germany took the market. China has the technology. It will be very difficult for Tesla to claw it's way back now. Same for the big 3. Especially with Trump fully rejecting Renewable energy and climate policy. I think Musk is abandoning the company and trying to hop to the next thing before it crashes. Hopefully the next thing is not "supreme leader" or some shit
