I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon's "good" years (heavy quotations). He's nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.

Yeah it was legitimately the only viable EV when I got one. I still love the car but am absolutely embarrassed by it because of that asshole.

Have you considered living your life and not worrying about what other people think?

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Poorly worded on my part. I genuinely oppose everything Elon Musk stands for, so it's more like cognitive dissonance than embarrassment.

There’s nothing wrong with or abnormal about being aware of your image or how you are perceived. Knowledge of self and self awareness and all that. Standard unavoidable reality of life.

That's like saying you are embarrassed by an Android phone

[-] Staccato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Android was never the only player in the cell phone OS market. Tesla was the only player in the EV market until last year more or less

Android is still the only player in the cellphone market if you don't want to be treated like a brain damaged gerbil who can't be trusted with accessing a file system.

Last year? Dude there have been viable alternatives for years now.

Yes I agree. It's unfortunate he decided to become the face and wallet of the right.
