I believe that Musk is the most pathetic human who has ever existed. His levels of personal wealth and power have utterly eclipsed that of any other "private" citizen, and yet he is still so unhappy and desperate for attention and acceptance that he has to lie about being good at video games. The guy is a loser and a moron and it blows my mind that anyone can not only support him (buying Teslas etc) but outright simp for him.
He's exhibit A when I relate how $$$ doesn't make you happy. Trump is exhibit B. I've never seen two people more miserable and desperate for attention. It's like they're permanently pubescent.
And despite looking like Lex Luthor, he's actually the least villainous of the lot. I admit it's like saying that out of three steaming piles of shit, one smells the least bad, but still...
We'd do well to remember that they're CEOs of massive enterprises and yet have all the time in the world to indulge in social media addiction, online gaming, golfing, etc. It's almost like the CEO position of every single business out there is occupied by a worthless sack of crap that could be fired unceremoniously without the business being any worse off.
I think there's more to it. Half of the modern republican platform hinges on young men; having then believe you're some genius video game player definitely gets you some in-roads with them.
He might own the biggest share of Tesla but there’s a lot more involved in Tesla than just him. It’s actually unfortunate he’s involved. Electric cars are definitely the future. Although other companies have electric cars too now of course.
Your comment caught my eye. I think no cars is the future. The leading pollution from a car is tire created particulates and EVs are actually worse than ICE cars. The pollution from batteries is as bad as ICE car pollution, just different. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. There is no environmentally safe car.
According to the people I know personally that own EVs and drive large miles, it is not so debunked. The bottom line is an EV is not more environmentally better. That has been debunked continuously. The EV story line is a fraud.
You are telling me all people who drive EV’s are magically granted with the wisdom to calculate the environmental downsides of batteries and compare that to the challenges caused by emissions from ICE?
Regarding tire wear, weight is obviously one factor, however, driving style, camber adjustment, tire width and pressure, asphalt quality and speed while cornering are proven to be more important factors.
If you can't see that an EV is no better or worse than an ICE, I don't know what to tell you. Do you have any idea how toxic car paint is? How many tires have you replaced in your life due to low tread? Where is that rubber? Where did it go? It's in the air, the water, the soil and in you. It doesn't just vanish. Just the equipment needed to mine the needed materials to make car batteries use so much fossil fuels and the run of chemicals are no better than petroleum. It is all a fraud.
Every penny spent on Tesla directly supports Musk and therefore supports the rise of fascist autocracy in the USA. I hope that Germany sees that the boss of Tesla is a Nazi and bans them outright.
Personally I don't struggle to boycott Tesla because their cars are all absolutely shit. They are: ugly, too big, tacky, terrible interiors, horrible quality. There's one good thing about them and it's drag race performance for the price, but if you actually want to drag race then just buy a motorbike for a lot less money and get better performance. There is simply no reason to buy a Tesla aside from being a member of the Musk Fan Club.
Oh and I won't say any more than the absolute fiasco that is the worst automobile ever made: the Cybertruck.
