  I don’t either. People love being shit on I guess. It’s what makes huge companies like Apple and Tesla so popular.

    Apple makes some really stupid products that they charge ridiculous money for and their usual stuff is more expensive than it needs to be but at least their core products are of very good quality. The same cannot be said of Tesla

      Good quality but still overpriced. You pay for the brand name.

  It really is.

  I’m just amazed anyone would buy the truck, let alone a $3k tent for it.

  Just tattoo idiot on your forehead. At least you’d still have most of your money.

  It must be because not everyone follows him around like us on reddit/Lemmy. I think this sort of thing is not reported in mainstream news. So the average person is barely aware of who Elon Musk even is.

  Ego dream marketing. Same as any people buying SUVs after seeing an advertisement with a handsome business man in a suite with a big watch driving across the Alpes.

    Lol for real, I was thinking just that when I watched the Charger EV commercial.

    But then they’re taking off from a traffic light in the Chicago suburbs which at least straightens out the somewhat rough idle that the check engine tape didn’t really fix and the glovebox falls open for the third time that day due to another pothole. Turns out the 20" wheels from the spirit package were wasted money on top of wasted money.

  They like being scammed pretty much.
