MODERATORS
While I think this is a fair opinion for all recent swastikars, I know several people who bought a Tesla a decade ago when it still seemed like a positive. They all abhor Musk but are not in a financial position to trade in their paid-off cars for anything else.
Telling random people to “just buy another car” is such an elitist, out of touch take. Also, who’s supposed to buy those used Teslas? If nobody wants to buy them, nobody can sell them.
I hadn't considered that one before
Someone who bought a Tesla before, who is trying to sell it now, may have to sell it to someone who supports Musk. At a loss at that
Oh he's going further. He's saying no one even needs a car.
Pure, privileged delusion.
I have only verified that the paint markers work on Cybertrucks, not older models of Tesla.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.
They made a stupid mistake ten years ago when they bought a car from a conman sex pest pedo-guy.
Edit: I assume every downvote is some poor fool who fell for Elon, and I'm sorry for you :'(
Yes because Lemmy is so full of people praising Elon. Couldn't be because you're acting like an ass.
Go ahead, then, explain to me the issue with my comment. Where is your dividing line where supporting Elon was ok? Or do you just not think he's a sex pest? What's triggering you?
(a) There were far fewer detractors of Musk 10 years ago. I thought he was pretty cool for trying to make spaceships and electric cars. Yes of course there were plenty of signs, and I should have noticed them. Besides that, one could also be forgiven for not thinking he was literally a fascist back then.
(b) What major company isn't headed by someone on the asshole spectrum somewhere? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but we still need cars since we ripped up all our train tracks.
If (b) is your argument then you should have no problem today with Tesla. If you have a problem today, you cannot use (b)
(A)...I'm pretty sure you're agreeing with me but with a disagreement tone? "There were plenty of signs" "should have noticed them"....yep, we agree.
No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
Lol you think grimes turned him conservative?
you literally have no idea what's going on. Go read.
Mush was never a fucking "leftist." He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He's done nothing but exploit people his entire life.
His Twitter posts say otherwise. When he trolled back in the day, he trolled Republicans.
Here was his turning point. In 2020, standing in an LGBT friendly company he mocked those same people he once defended.
I agree it all could have been an act before this point ... but the fact remains even if it was ... he actually cared enough to act back then.
If youre busy paying attention to who he is trolling rather than what he actually does, you will never ever ever ever be able to defend against con artists like Elon and trump.
Which might be the case, but not entirely grounds for punching someone.
