I, for one, definitely won’t be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

    It definitely affected me. In retrospect I’m glad I bought a different EV.

      I don’t think Elon is wrong. I went back stateside this summer after being away since 2020, and there were Tesla cars everywhere. My daughter and I made a joke about seeing a cyber truck in the wild thinking it wouldn’t happen, and we ended up seeing 3 of them.

      I think most people don’t care about politics, and just want a decent EV. There is an old Mark Twain quote about someone who doesn’t read the news being uninformed, while the person reading the news is misinformed. I think in todays day and age, ignorance is bliss and uninformed may be the smarter option for your long term health.

        If you’re uninformed and it doesn’t affect you, congratulations. The system is working for you. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for everyone.

        imo if you want a functioning democracy most people should be informed of the events happening around them
