  Musk chased right-wing approval, but the only thing he got was declining sales and a dying brand.

  I mean he got tens of billions of dollars in increased wealth so I dunno if I’d say that.

  Well VW is still around. Maybe Teslas will be classic cars in 80 years.

  /s: They will all self immolate.

    VWs never randomly caught fire. And also they don’t look like if Transformers could somehow breed, but had an abortion.

      This.

      And VWs were survivors, crossing the desert under air cooling and repairable usually with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.

      I worry Teslas wouldn’t survive long enough to become classics. They don’t seem to be survivors.

      /63+71+71super here.

    I checked on where Edsel prices have gone. They mostly match inflation. Not a worthwhile investment as a car that people are interested in decades later because it’s an infamous failure.

  Tesla might have to go on welfare… by having the US government buy, thousands upon thousands of Teslas.

    Problem is that Trump is on the oil companies’ pay rolls. Unfortunately he’s subsidizing them instead of Tesla.

    Swasticars for a fascist government. Makes sense.

      The popo using cybertrucks would really be the cherry on the techno-feudalist hellscape pie.

  I believe this is the part where we get sued for not buying his cars.

    Like companies getting sued for not advertising on Twitter

    I think he would be relieved to get rid of Tesla if someone would buy it. The full self-driving promise was always a matter of interpretation, and the cars they build are more expensive symbols of status than practical products. Tesla can’t compete with global EV manufacturers, that’s a Damocles sword waiting to fall.

    SpaceX is where the money is now, and all the electric innovation Tesla did can be used for something else.

      There’s nothing to interpret. It does not fully drive itself.

      Musk is getting $8 million each day from the US government to destroy the US government. He was given $44 billion to destroy Twitter. He’s not worried about money.

      I’m sure he already calls his lawyers every day at 3 AM while half blitzed on K to pitch exactly that
