      He left trumps orbit last time he was president because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord.

      Now he doesn’t give a fuck about that or similar things.

      He’s definitely more crazy / things changed.

    It may be unfair, but I’ve been increasingly judgemental of Tesla drivers, especially over the past 4 or 5 years. He used to just be a joke when he was tweeting edgelord stuff like his nightstand and trying to have images scrubbed from the internet of when he was still bald. Model S, model 3, model X (s3x, hur dur). Then I was made angry by the hyperloop and his distracting, unproductive impact of the way America thinks about mass transit. Then I got mad about Starlink, first as extremely expensive, dystopian sky litter. Then as a frightening glimpse at communication control in places with civil unrest/protest. Then he bought twitter, and did a hilariously bad job at running it. Installing a cartoonishly bad sign on his building and whatnot. Naming it something idiotic. Then helping bring Trump back from the dead. Then everything he has done in the 2024 election cycle. I don’t know how people can stand to be associated with Elon and all the he represents in any way. It would be like driving around in a Jimmy Savile-mobile.

      He pushed Hyperloop such that they build more roads btw. since other forms of transit were just fine or however it went back then. Goal achieved, idiots loved him and argued for this nonsense a lot.

    I wonder if I could make money selling body kits to make your Tesla look like a different car… 🤔

    “Hey… Does that Prius look a bit off?”

    Just driving your Tesla without trying to apologize for it would be a lot more dignified.

      Yeah, I bought mine in 2019 back when Musk just seemed like a dorky edgelord. I’m definitely not going to buy a new car just because Tesla’s CEO is a tool, though when I AM ready, it’s certainly not going to be another Tesla.
