Billionaire Elon Musk has donated to a super political action committee working to elect Donald Trump to the White House, a major gambit by the world’s richest person to make his imprint on the US political landscape.
Shrug. Do you know anyone that has purchased a Tesla? If so, I suggest you talk to them about the car. I bet you can confirm what I’ve said above.
I know I have. It’s not something I’ve made up - the owners sought a way to get away from ICE, and/or just liked the vehicle, wanted to get a jump on the future, or whatever. Now they are getting side-eye for being associated with this brand because of this loud mouth jerk at the helm. On the flip side of things, I’ve been in groups where someone points out a Tesla and someone mutters something about Musk.
I don’t know what the answer is to this problem, but Musk sure doesn’t seem to have it. If you think that is a problem I am responsible for, I’m not sure what to tell you.
Besides voting, about the only viable option most people have in America is to “vote” with their wallet. So while you won’t find liberals doing dumb stuff like shooting their Tesla or putting it in a shredder (unlike the freakouts we have from the other side), I bet more than a few are finding ways to divest themselves of their Teslas and/or not buy a new one, and seek out other options. Right now, if they buy a Tesla, they are signifying that they are okay with Musk funding donnie, who is clearly a fascist. That is not a problem that liberals have created, by the way.
The issue is that you are in some kind of bubble where everyone is the same. I don know someone that owns a tesla, and elon has not come up one time, its usually about how cool the car is and some of the things that make it hard. My spouse has been looking to buy one due to its advanced technology and safety feature that would benefit her, and not one has it come up what elons politics are.
Your community has serious issues if they cant buy things from people of different beliefs, its a nail in the coffin that is 100% a you guy problem.
I dont get why Elon should come up, outside of his goofy naming system, I dont know where his politics are pertinent to the cars he sells. The community of left side people that are always on line and make everything about identities and teams.
You are kidding, right? First of all, Elon has spent a ton of time and money to inject himself into the zeitgeist and has styled himself as a edgelord/troll who likes to interfere in nearly every conversation where he can. To such a point where he had to buy a platform to further this end. He’s essentially the face for Tesla, and people that buy that product almost have to know it.
And someone that is going to make the second biggest purchase that most people will make in their lives (behind a mortgage) are not going to give pause when they find out he’s funding a fascist like donnie?
So, I guess buying a product that results in money going into his pocket is just some kind of abstract thing? The second biggest purchase a typical American will make is just totally apolitical with no real concrete outcomes?
There is not going to be a shortfall on people desiring teslas, so I dont think considering elon makes much sense.
And you guys are way too into the things elon says. Elon is mildly conservative at best, he is more just someone who thinks for himself, and the only reason we notice is because he is famous. As far as like twitter goes, he just made it more open and pointed out bad things the government is doing so I dont see how that is super bad.

I guess I’m trying to understand how Elon doesn’t come up at all when talking about Tesla. And I’m not sure what community you are talking about.

This is the community I am talking about, you just sit around and yell about how bad your enemies are.
What does elon being a part of the conversation have to do with how good his car is?
