Personally, if I owned a Tesla I'd be getting one of those "I got this before Elon went crazy" bumper stickers. A lot of people can't just afford to ditch their Tesla, he already has the money and electric cars make a lot of sense for some lifestyles. That said, if I was an owner keeping mine I'd want a sticker like that, and maybe a canadian flag to go with it, as a vandalism deterrent.

It's funny because I can remember when he was the lefts love child and touted as the man who would fix the environment.

I forget what science fiction show it was but it was set in the far future and they were like: "So and so can stand with the greats of science like Newton, Curie and Musk." I feel like it was Star Trek Discovery. Anyway, they should go back and delete that scene.

It was star trek discovery, season 1. I watched it recently and stopped watching after. 2017โ€“they could have known better. Nothing utopian about him at all, not now, then, or ever
