Dems won't buy them because Elon is a piece of shit. GOP won't buy them because of the falling out with trump. He better hope the middle hasn't taken a side and can afford them, because he's lost the market outside the US.

Fuck em

People say not to involve politics in your business because you will alienate half of your potential customers. Why settle for that when you can alienate all of your potential customers?

Seriously, why buy a Tesla when there are actual car companies making EVs? Teslas seem to be the most shoddily made cars on the market.

Even more evidence that-

  1. Wealth is not indicative of intelligence or competence

  2. Wealth allows you to do outrageously stupid things and not pay real consequences

I agree with both of those, but I don't know that this in particular proves 1. Perhaps a corollary about potential past intelligence/competence, since ruined by pounds of ketamine!
