      Honestly, like shit. I’ve had it for a few years now. If I’d have the money to sell it and get something else, I would, but I don’t have the money. Guess I’ll need to 3D print a sign for the car.

      I hope someone crashes into it, no-one is hurt, but the damage is so bad I have to get a new car.

        You can buy a different car with the money you get from selling it, no? And I assume that will not exactly be a bad car either.

        Have money to sell it? I’m sorry I’m confused. Usually selling stuff makes you money! Not being sarcastic, actually confused

          I think they mean not having enough money to fill the gap between what he receives from selling it and what is required to buy his desired alternative car.

      In the back of my head, I always wonder, what if he’s actually brilliant, and this is all just a ploy to get dumb racist rednecks off of ICE vehicles.

        I considered that too (the ploy, not the brilliant part) when he initially started changing his tone, but it didn’t take long before I realized that was very unlikely. His response the diver that rescued those kids in the flooded cave really sealed it for me realize that he’s just a man with too much money and not enough sense.

        If that’s his 5d chess plan then he’s dumb as shit.

        Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.

        *Also battery energy density isn’t capable of hauling big loads for long distances

        Elon is just a moron who failed upwards

      Here in California I’ve seen a number of “I bought this before I knew what he was like” bumper stickers.

    Reminder, the community voted to keep political videos in c/politicalvideos

    I’ll leave it up for now because this is concerning and c/politicalvideos doesn’t have the same reach yet.

        Not enough to matter and seemingly it never will be. It’s kind of like the whole situation with Netflix. So many online were grandstanding about how they unsubscribed and publications were speculating backlash over the price increases… well another price increase was just announced and their subscriber numbers are still increasing.

    Just not as much as I’d want.

      Has his whole life if you look into his past.

      That’s why he ended up the way he did.

      Straight out of a movie. Ugly looking dipshit with daddy money uses daddy money to buy people into thinking he isn’t ugly or stupid.

      Nothing to make excuses for.

      The richest man on the planet performed a standard Nazi salute, perfectly…twice. At a presidential inauguration. For a president who is giving this Nazi an office in the White House.
