He only wrote that to improve image and sales. He still knows it’s the right thing, but he never cared about that.

Remember when Elon started leaning into being an internet sensation and memelord? I think that’s when his campaign for more power started. Economic power is no longer enough.

His interview with Trump shows nothing less than Elon trying to get himself in good standing with the MAGA crowd. I guess he decided that conservative and reactionary politics are best for amassing power.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Elon runs for president or some other influential position once Trump is gone. He clearly wants to be perceived as a younger, smarter, more moderate Trump.

likely wants to be appointed dicktator after trump chokes on his last cheeseburger.

Thankfully, he can’t run for president. And he’s doing the exact same thing as Trump who even said publicly that he would become a Republican because they are easier to grift.

Oh my God, thank Christ.

The U.S. Constitution uses but does not define the phrase “natural born Citizen” and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its exact meaning.

Don’t be too sure. This particular SC might allow Elon to run because…reasons. And by reasons, I mean free chartered flights anywhere in the world, brand new RVs, and paying rent for justices’ mamas.

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

Yep. He has an interview in a movie called Racing Extinction, and it was watching that that made me realise he only cares about money, he didn’t do it to improve anything.

Along this line of thought, what are the chances he’s being (more of) a right-wing chud in order to sell more of his stupid pickup truck?

I noticed something stupid while on the interstate yesterday and passing or passed by multiple Teslas: they don’t tell you which model they are on the back. If you see a Tesla you like and want to know which Tesla it is, I guess you’ll have to figure that out for yourself.

ramble81 ,

They only have 4 models (not counting the cyber dump truck) that are pretty easy to tell apart. Small sedan or big sedan, small SUV or big SUV. Then basically do they have a dual motor badge and is that badge underlined (or does it have a plaid logo on the back). There you go. Almost literally all the permutations of Teslas.

Ok, but letting people know what model of car they are looking at is just basic marketing.

ramble81 ,

Do they need to market anymore than their name though? Marketing is getting you interested in the product. You say “oh that’s a nice Tesla” you go to the site and look from there most likely based on your budget.

(I am by no means a Tesla fan, frankly their build quality sucks) but I really don’t think that you need badges of every type plastered on a car.

Localhorst86 ,

My car doesn’t have the model or engine size written on the back either, this is not exclusive to Tesla (although, depending on the make it might be an option to remove it when buying a car).

The manufacturer badge is usually enough, in my opinion. If you can’t identify the model on the spot, as long as you can identify the brand and want to learn about the specific model you saw, you’ll hit their website or dealership and identify it there. And with a brand like Tesla, that only has 5 fairly distinct models, it should be fairly easy to retroactively point out the model you saw - compared to a brand like BMW for example.

IamAnonymous ,

Which car apart from Tesla doesn’t have a model name badge? Just curious.

Thankfully nothing is ever really removed from the internet.

Well, not only those cars suck but also he starts to ignore the ecology part 🤷‍♂️

Paddzr ,

Do they suck? Tesla is king when it comes to efficiency. I hate it, I’m in the market for EV and while I’m buying a car on paper of the same spec and at half price… It is a worse car and I wish someone else did model 3 but not tesla.

Hopefully Lucid or Xiaomi (yes I’d sooner give money to them than Musk) come soon enough.

Rai ,

The truck is shit, but I’m with ya on the Model 3. I have a friend with one and it feels nice to ride in. I like the air in front, you can have the air streams come out however you want. Whatever the “go from being stopped to INSANELY FAST SUDDENLY AAAAAAAA” mode is, blew me away. Both my partner and I shrieked—we had never felt that kind of acceleration before.

Sweetpeaches69 ,

Have I got a life-changing revelation for you: that acceleration is the hallmark of EVs. You literally could not design an EV with bad acceleration unless you actively limit it. Any EV has that acceleration, not just the Model 3.

Well yes, especially when talking about reliability, they do not have very good scores.

They are just over complicated
