[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon is contributing more to society than just about anyone in the last 50+ years.

Lol to the wacktivists bent on taking him down. [/quote]

+1.  He's easily the most consequential inventor of our lifetime. [/quote]

+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.[/quote]

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

He founded SpaceX. He is a physicist by education. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.” [/quote]
I feel like you don’t know any hipsters at all.

And I would [i]love[/i] 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[/quote]

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.[/quote]
See the problem with the GOP’s talking point changing all the time is that they don’t remember what their talking points were. I’m sorry, I thought you maga s were all so aggrieved because of “woke cancel culture” or some such in which people who don’t patronize businesses that conflict with their personal beliefs are bad people? And now you’re claiming that that’s not a thing because bourbon or something?

Buddy you are in a bubble and clearly neither know nor associate with any progressives or hipsters (and they are not necessarily the same people, either. Which you would know if you knew any in either group).  [/quote]
