I feel bad for the folks with the stickers, but also… I’ve known for years and I haven’t been paying that much attention.
There was a period between 2018 and 2022 where it was possible to be aware that Musk was an asshole, as many rich people are, but not be aware of his being a full-on Nazi.
Elon has been an unambiguous piece of shit for quite awhile. if your cars still in warranty, you knew.
There were signs earlier but it became clear in fall 2023
I think you mean it became clear In 2018. Honestly if you were paying attention it was well before that, but that was big news. Even that article mentions him repeatedly coming under fire for his comments on twitter
That’s when it became obvious that he was a terrible human. The odds weren’t exactly good, since only a deeply flawed human can actually amass that much wealth.
However, the “oh my, is… is he… an idiot?” came some time later for me. Aka, the “Elon moment”. The point in time when you hear Elon reveal how clueless he is, by talking about a topic you know something about. I think it was watching the absurdly cringy teams meeting with twitter engineers
He is clearly shit at engineering, has no idea about software development … sooo, it stands to reason that he also doesn’t know much about rocket science.
He sure seems to be gifted at making governments subsidise his ventures tho. So, that’s something… I guess.
There is no respect for the vehicles here. People are just stuck with the cars now.
Ive seen 2 stickers on teslas this week. “Anti elon tesla club” and “Not in the cult”.
Need a “not a SSwasticar” bumper sticker where the “ss” is the German SS logo, the 3rd S is an actually swastika and the “t” is the Tesla logo.
