Lol to the wacktivists bent on taking him down.

+1. He's easily the most consequential inventor of our lifetime.

+2. He’s done more to combat climate change than literally everyone who ever posted on this forum combined. That should count for something for true Dems, but sadly politics has become a weird cult where it doesn’t matter what your principles are, it just matters if you have blind allegiance to your specific cult. This goes for Republicans as well, obviously. This country is beyond hope.

He’s a venture capitalist. He didn’t invent the technologies. He bought technology and hired more engineers and inventors.

He founded SpaceX. He is a physicist by education.

He literally is hands on in most engineering decisions in his company. Tesla in another person’s hands would be Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius. Just cause he doesn’t want to be part of your tribe doesn’t mean you have to lie about his qualifications or downplay his influence in EVs.

Well if he wants us to actually buy them he should know better than to join up with the women's rights stripping party of the insurrection. Just no.

He already has gotten people to buy them and a lot of people will still buy them regardless of his politics just like people buy other products without regard for the owners politics. I’m sure almost every old school bourbon and cigarette manufacturer is owned by a right winger yet progressive hipsters still drink Jack Daniels and smoke cigarettes nonetheless. You vastly overrate how much the average person cares about politics. If anything, Elon has broadened his customer base because a lot of culturally conservative Republicans probably didn’t want to drive Teslas before because they thought they were elitists liberal cars. So for every hyperpolitical Dem he loses he picks up a Republican who wants to drive a EV for the first time to “stick it to the libs.”

I feel like you don’t know any hipsters at all.

And I would love to watch Republicans’ inner struggle as they tried desperately to figure out how to “own the libs” better: buying a Tesla or not buying a Tesla. would be

The point was that the average person doesn’t care about an owner of a product’s politics. Chick-fil-A’s business is booming in Montgomery County and bourbon bars are still getting crowds in Williamsburg and the LES despite the politics of a lot of the manufacturers, which obviously can’t be that liberal since they’re all owned by old south money.

None of those owners are as outspoken or visible as Musk is. And none are flirting with mainstreaming hatred on the social media that everyone uses.

Elon’s favorables with Democrats are above water and he is one of the most follower people on Twitter. You vastly overestimate how much you and other hyperpolitical, online liberals matter. Tucker Carlson gets more young Dem viewers than any other cable TV host for example.

What are you smoking?

Nielsen ratings and a Rasmussen poll maybe.

Outside of your Beltway insider bubble Democrats like Elon and watch Tucker more than any other cable news host.

https://nypost.com/2022/04/28/majority-of-americans-approve-of-elon-musks-twitter-buyout-poll/amp/

Women, Republicans, people over 40 and lower income earners were the most enthusiastic demographics about the Musk takeover. But even 57 percent of Democrats polled thought Musk would improve the platform.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tucker-carlson-secures-most-democratic-223803687.html

But recent data from Nielsen MRI Fusion suggests those nightly dispatches may not be necessary: In October, the most recent month for which data is available, Carlson’s 9 p.m. ET program was the top cable news show among Democrats in the advertiser-coveted age range of 25-54.

Only DBs watch the Tuck.

That might be true, but the UMC whites on this board are out of touch with the majority of Dems when it comes to Elon and even Tucker. You are stuck in a bubble and don’t even know it.

You think the majority of Ds love Musk and Tuck?

I’ll have what you’re having.

Again, there is a Rasmussen poll and Neilson ratings quoted in this thread. Are you some Blue Anon who thinks polls and Neilson ratings are fake news now? Tucker has the best ratings among Dems verse any other cable news host and Elon has a 57% favorable rating among all Dems. Your UMC white snobby bubble is smaller than you think.

You are delusional.

Ds detest Tuck the Schmuck. They think Musk is a loon.

Literally every single "feature" in a Tesla reminds me of an example of "what not to do" from my human factors engineering class in grad school. I did a research paper on Apollo 1 for that class, and the first lesson from that disaster was to make manual exit release handles highly visible and easy to use in an emergency.

Wait, you don't think unbreakable windows on a Cyber truck are a good idea? I don't think you know anything about designing vehicles. /s

That’s not a “stalled” Tesla… the drivers window is busted out.

You guys are not very good consumers of media. You guys will blindly believe anything on the internet if it supports your own bias.

DP. What exactly are you disagreeing with about the tweet. Are you saying the driver couldn’t had busted out the window after the Tesla stalled and then caught fire?

I’m saying that this is more than just a stalled car. Teslas have a manual door release so there is no reason that the window had to be kicked out.

Yes, it’s a stalled car that then caught fire. The manual release bit was addressed a few posts above.

These Musk-ovites, are only here to boost for him. Meanwhile he's getting rich off their devotion. PE for TSLA is 90 🤪 despite narrow moat. He's cashing out now.

Pretend to buy twitter, sell tesla shares to fund the deal, torpedo the deal, distract everyone with bs trolling, keep money from tesla sales. He really is a genius, gotta give him that.

Musk going republican shows that even the smart people like him can be very very stupid. I will be selling my Tesla as soon as I can because of this.

Democrats loved Tesla until they didn't.

From @maxberger on Twitter:

Elon Musk is really doing an incredible job educating the public about how capitalists end up aligning with fascists to maintain their wealth and limit the power of the working classes.

+1 Trump also hates unions and any regulation that helps the working class.

Much like Trump, Musk was a DINO -- a Democrat in name only -- when it suited him while he lived in CA. Same for Trump when he lived in NY.

At their heart, they have always been about one thing: money and power.

Another thing they have in common is that they are both very insecure people who cannot stand it when people disparage and criticize them.
