It’s all PR b******* even the hate. these sociopaths just appeal to the people that will make them the most money.
Yeah fair, plenty of the hate is real. But I’m willing to bet a lot of the hate is just so their rich friends will like them.
Maybe if he wasn’t yelling at her all the time, she would have been comfortable with the gender he wanted her to be in the first place.
I believe this is the truth of the matter. This is what happened with Rogan as well. He used to be somewhat centrist but left-leaning and open-minded. During the COVID era his audience exploded after he started inviting right-wing guests and conspiracy theorists onto the show, and the rapid shift toward that type of content was blatant thereafter. That shit went downhill fast. It was that and the Spotify money that ultimately corrupted him. But maybe he was a fucking dick all along. Hard to recall.
Bullshit.
Don’t mind me just corrupting the children you are trying to protect.
Getting their name on Epstein list makes people show their true colors
Has he been checked for a worm in his brain? Just thinking about someone else that went off the rails.
Musk: “Don’t buy our car if that’s a problem.”
Consumers:
Musk: “You can’t stop buying my stuff! I’ll sue you all!”
He’s suing a bunch of advertising companies because they stopped advertising on his platform full of Nazis after he told them (the advertisers, not the Nazis) to “Fuck off”
And this is after he told advertisers to “fuck off” if they didn’t like how he was doing things at twitter
Sometimes I wonder if the hard right wing turn was just to sell more trucks. You’d have to be a right wing cultist to want a cybertruck
But then I realize he’s not that smart.
Doesn’t really seem to work. Right wing guys still want a truck that makes the vroom noise and has smoke coming out of it. And the main constituency for electric cars ( smug liberals with a lot of money ) don’t want to be associated with Musk so they’ll buy a different brand (luckily other automakers have mostly caught up to Tesla now).
Other auromakers have caught up to Tesla because Tesla has gotten worse, not because they progressed so much. Unfortunately. In terms of software, efficiency and horses per dollar Tesla is still best. They just like to shoot themselves in the foot with weirdo decisions regarding steering wheels, removing components, etc.
The best electric car on the market IMHO is a 2022 Telsa Model 3/Y (especially given the depreciation).
It’s been eye-opening watching the reaction to my relative’s Ford F-150 Lightning. I am a smug liberal and it absolutely isn’t for me–way too big–but truck people are in awe… and purely as a vehicle, the performance and features are pretty great. So honestly I think Ford surpassed Tesla in the EV truck niche at least.
The initial right turn was because he didn’t like California’s covid policies. But then the right started sucking up to him and the left denounced him, he just leaned further and further.
Along the way I think he realized how easy it is to play right wingers, how much they accommodate ultra rich people, and decided he likes it.
He’s right wing now for the same reason all the other ultra rich people are, not because he’s dumb.
