Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers
For longtime Tesla owners, Elon Musk has made their electric cars into red flags — and now, a bunch are sticker-slapping back.
You're viewing a single thread.
Elon has always been crazy.
He used to be better at keeping his mouth shut.
He used to have less airtime
If you listened (as most of us in tech did) he's been fucking batshit since the PayPal days.
He's gotten worse, but people also used to be more charitable. I thought he sounded like a pretentious know-nothing CEO when I heard him talking about the Hyperloop in 2012, and it's been an impressive downhill run from there.
He left trumps orbit last time he was president because Trump withdrew from the Paris Accord.
Now he doesn't give a fuck about that or similar things.
He's definitely more crazy / things changed.
He used to depend on that climate money and press for his car business.
Now he can shovel tax money directly into his own pocket, so he doesn't need to pretend anymore.He never cared about climate change change, he just cared about his company getting bigger.
That used to be enough. If the market can steer billionaire behavior toward good, we should let it. I can accept that someone who is inherently bad can do good.
But then, he started all this alt right nonsense. He either wholely believes in it, making him trash, or he doesn't, and he's doing it anyway because he thinks it's best for his company, which IMHO is somehow way worse, or at least an indicator that things in general are way worse.
I dont remember a time where I both knew of him and thought he was a sane or rational person.
