According to a recent survey, Tesla's reputation is plunging, which could be due to Musk's off-putting and problematic behavior.

“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    The thing about Elysium is that if they created it with modern tech itd be somewhat trivial for a resistance group to starve out the ones in space at least. Just a recoilless rifle with a targeting computer probably running Linux mounted to the back of a Toyota hilux would be more than enough.

      That might work once or twice, but I suspect the rich would just launch their supplies from an island, or from a very large “Green Zone.” But I’m guessing the space station would be very susceptible to sabotage or a suicide attack, or something.
