'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement
Earlier this year, Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk promised he wouldn't be giving any money to either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.Musk sounded adamant, tweeting, on March 6, "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for U.S. President."But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly d...
But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.
`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.
And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe this means that all the Republicans will buy electric cars now to own the libs.
Man, I'd feel soooo owned if they did that. Ugh, what if they all went out and got solar, too? Then we'd really be fucked. What are we, if not a bunch of electric car driving, latte drinking, solar panel punks? At least we'd still have the lattes, I guess.
You joke but there's a company right now selling solar power "own the libs who control the power boards."
It's a step in the right direction, I guess.
Isn't it so funny how they hate liberals for doing/wanting the things they claim to be the champions of?
Surely that's reverse psychology?
Solar is a weird rabbit hole of the kind of people who get it. It's like the epitome of horseshoe theory, where you either have the left-leaning eco-conscious sorts, or the far-right doomer/prepper "I hate the government so much I'm going to live off-grid" types who are the main people interested in it.
It's very weird researching solar stuff sometimes, because the advertising will either focus on the more typical performance metrics like W/m² and smart-home integration, or their ability to withstand an EMP and the fact they have no 5G chips in them and shit.
I think there’s another one too with a similar brand and marketing. I suppose that’s a good thing.
There's one called Semper Solaris that's full on with the military branding. "Declare your independence from the greedy power companies" etc.
Interesting thing is, they're actually a very competent company who hires former marines and has massive discounts for veterans.
Veterans who were sent to war for oil companies, turning to installing solar power is a top tier ‘fuck you’
Can't we just tell them getting power from the grid is Socialism so they will think putting up solar panels is the way to keep power in Texas, Florida... Most anywhere without having to rely and the government. You know, like becoming free from energy dependence or something.

Energy independence, panels made in America, discounts for vetetans, etc. Tell your electric company, "You're fired!"
