Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

    Keep your friends close.

    Keep your enemies closer. Where do you think GOP Republicans live? Texas. What vehicles do they drive? Gas/diesel.

    Call him everything he is. But he is a fantastic businessman for going to the place of most resistance and turning his worst demographic to his biggest group of followers.

      He moved production to Texas for tax reasons. That’s it. He’s not a fantastic businessman; he just hates paying his fair share.

        I don’t have access to that data. And I don’t won’t to be misconstrued as promoting Elon or his activities (not that you’re doing that but I see the downvotes).

        I’m just explaining what I think he’s doing. It’s what I’d pitch personally if I noticed red voters trend and visibly meme anti EV and I had obligations to shareholders I had to keep.

        People are better off buying EV anyways. ICE vehicles are disgusting. I think people just like to assign large structures like businesses and folks like Elon to their political idealogies. Businesses and governments have to be larger than that because they need to serve people at the end of the day with either product or policy.

          But if he’s doing what you’re claiming he’s doing, won’t all the people on the left who bought Teslas jump ship when it’s time to get a new car? Even if you’re right, he’s still an idiot.
