At this point, if you drive a Tesla, I have a real hard time not thinking you like Nazis who hate freedom and minorities. 🤷♂️
20 daysAt least if someone drives a brand-new Tesla. I can kinda sympathise a little bit with people who bought theirs a couple of years ago before Elmo’s antics became really obvious and are now struggling to get rid of it.

I give a pass to most Tesla’s because I don’t know much about cars. The cyber dumpster drivers knew full well who he was before buying their Swasticars, and they get to see my social finger at every opportunity.

I stopped giving a pass to most Tesla driver a couple of months ago when I realized they’ve all had plenty of time to sell their cars

Let’s go through a list of products you use and see how many are created by evil people. Very easy game to play.

Obviously you can’t do that, there no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Regardless, there are choices you can make. I have never will never eat a a Chick filet, for example. You have to have SOME line

Yes yes yes, simply read the comment you replied to and you will see that I say exactly that. Just because you can’t consume ethically under capitalism, doesn’t mean that you should just say “Fuck it” and do whatever.
This feels like when people are like, “Oh, vegetarian sounds good, but I could never. I simply love bacon too much” and then I inevitably say, “Okay, so why don’t you try vegetarian+bacon then?”
Ethics aren’t binary.

I bought mine before he went crazy. He has tweets after I purchased bragging about scoring high on lgbtq equality. Further, mine has lifetime free supercharging. The longer I have it the more I cost tesla money.

He has always had some pretty shitty opinions about things and a shitty way of doing business. Tesla was basically stolen by Musk from the guys who founded it, then he tried to rewrite Tesla history and label himself as the soul founder, at which point the actual founders had to sue him to maintain their founder status, and that was all in 2009, so unless you tell me that you bought the Roadster in 2008, I have a really hard time believing you. Or you’re one of those people that don’t care about things until it’s literally shoved in your face. But I digress. Sure you didn’t know.
But what’s stopping you from selling the one you have now, since you do know, now?

Tesla Roadster was just a Lotus with a retrofit electric motor. Without Elons cash they wouldn’t have become what they are today. In effect he helped found a viable production car instead of staying as an aftermarket retro fit of another manufacturers car.
He’s an absolute asshole douche, but I’m glad he brought Tesla to where it is, it forced all other ICE manufacturers to take EVs seriously.

They worked with Lotus, but it only shares 6% of parts with the Elise. Musk wasn’t at Tesla at that time.
He was always a shitty person. Even in his adolescence.
He made fun of his classmate because his classmates father committed suicide. That classmate responded by shoving him down the stairs. Which honestly should have happened more.
He was always rotten to the core.

That may be, but that wasn’t really well known then. Hell I haven’t heard anything you claimed above until now.
Behind the Bastards did a segment on him about 7 or so years ago, which is how I found out about how shitty he was when he was younger.
This article I found on the stairwell incident:
