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?
Nobody follow this person's advice. I am old, and one of the best things about life now is the freedom not to give a fuck about the dumbass judgemental thoughts of others. I do what I want regardless of what people think, and life is great.
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
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.
Ok fair enough.
It was easy enough to excuse early on. There were signs of his terribleness but they weren't much worse than other cat manufacturers.
Now? Fuck him. I'm never sending musk another dime if I can avoid it.
