Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt

I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.

Maybe he’ll force their sale to Ukraine, so Trump can pretend he supports them even while the cybertrucks break down in the field faster than Russia’s WWII era tanks.

Is this all you people do is bitch about people the internet tells you not to like? I am willing to bet money the only reason you hate Elon is because the internet gives you upvotes for saying anti-Elon rhetoric.

I don’t like him because he is racist, transphobic, and attempting a Coup in My country.

The Nazi salute he did is an example of racism

Transphobia, idk; I’m not right wing so that doesn’t matter to me

Nah, I hate him because when you look past his wealth, his “accomplishments”, and his fandom, you are left with nothing but a piece of shit human being.

I don’t need the Internet to tell me not to like Nazis. As a decent human being it’s just natural.
HawtTism@lemm.ee 20 hours ago
Okay. You’re a Nazi too. If we’re just Willy-nilly assigning the word Nazi to anybody we dislike, then you’re a Nazi. See how idiotic that is? Admit it, you hate Elon because he’s right wing. And you’re too fragile to accept anybody thinking differently from you. Which lead you here, now. Embarrassing.
CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Nope. Not how that works. He did the salute. He went and showed his support for neo-nazis. If it quacks like a duck …
I’m actually a Cascadian hippie if you’d like to assign labels. Hell, I will even let you call me antifa. But not supporting Nazis doesn’t make me a Nazi.
I don’t hate on people with different views. I live in a very conservative area. Most of the people I talk to on a day to day basis are still wearing their MAGA hats. I’m actually not a fan of the democratic party. But at the same time I’m not dumb enough to fall in line with the new fascist agenda. There’s a huge difference between taking steps forward and burning down the system for personal profit.
Trump is an idiot with a personal agenda. Elon is a Nazi. And the people who don’t see this are mostly poorly informed. I don’t hate them for that.
But looking at your comments, it appears YOU are the one hating on everything different. Or you’re just trolling, which would make you an idiot or a child, neither of which are worth having a discussion with.

Hi Elon. No, we hate you because you know you have Asperger’s, think yourself smart, but are blind to the fact that you need people in your life to filter your thoughts and actions to cover your weak areas and flawed perceptions.
Only a fool thinks himself beyond improvement. Elon Musk is a great example of squandered potential and self delusion.

squandered potential and self delusion
It depends on who you ask. In our fucked up culture where money > people, productivity > humanity, and dominating others > helping others, Musk is the ideal grand vision for what a person with “potential” will become. He has the highest score, therefore the best results.
It’s a fucking tragedy how many people admire both him and Trump for the most horrible reasons.
(In before somebody explains how this is capitalism’s fault. But I’m not going to disagree, lol)

Even by money standards he does stupid stupid things. How much money did he piss away on running Twitter into the ground and telling advertisers to go to hell. If he got the help he obviously needs he could have had it all. And his latest stupidity with the Nazi salute seems to be going down really well in Europe. Tesla sales evaporating in Europe. Just read that Cyber truck has completely flopped (shocking!)

I’ve hated him since the “that pedo guy” incident years ago… I think that is when people started really waking up to the fact he’s an incredibly insecure manchild. A bunch of poor kids trapped in a cave… “how can I make this about ME?”
Preflight_Tomato@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
Yeah up until then I though he was a cool guy; real life iron man and whatnot. That baseless accusation was just so incredibly out of character it made me question his character, and then his later actions made me realize it was always just a character.
