So you’re just slobbering over him for fun then? That’s not sad at all.

The US is behind in EVs exactly because Trump and his merry band of petroleum-suckers abandoned all efforts to do the work on R&D for 4 years. 4 years is a lot of time for a country to leapfrog in tech and that’s exactly what China did.

Trump is effectively waving the white flag admitting publicly that we can’t compete or beat China in EVs. This kind of talk should be a death blow for a politician, especially on the right where everyone thinks the US is or can be the best at everything.

Exactly. Trump and the GOP are basically a guy warning that the embrace of automobile technology poses a threat to out horse and buggy industry, so we must do everything in our power to prevent our horse and buggy manufacturers from building cars.

Another sycophantic cult member. You all know he’s not going to share his money with you no matter how much you lick his boots anonymously in comment sections, right?

No. The only reason Trump is at ALL relevant is due to total dipshits such as yourself who think he’s anything other than what he is. And you dumfucks who fall for his non-stop ranting about immigrants are from a guttural level no different than those from the past who instead of looking at actual issues are instead…

Ironically the GOP is forcing the US to cede these industries to China because they keep taking money from the oil and gas industry to hold them back. Had the US embraced these industries and renewables decades ago like we should have, the US would be the world leader in them.

It’s incredible to me that a guy with basically infinite money who could be doing almost literally -anything- chooses to spend a good chunk of his time being a pick-me edgelord on Twitter.

This wouldn’t even be the first time.  I mean how many years have they been ranting on and on about George Soros when they’ve got a whole stable of politically active billionaires themselves?  Hypocrisy is pretty much the whole Republican brand at this point.  Vance even added a few more than this one.   Like the time…

Need the Right to help me. So Musk and Trump being disgustingly rich and amassing gold like Smaug is okay and a good reason to listen to them but Taylor Swift is an out of touch billionaire... Amassing billions of dollars is ridiculous, a trillion dollars in the hands of one person is asinine.

People, when the engineers tell you, “This thing will not work, and I’m not getting in it,” listen to them.

He literally has claimed to be left wing, but just like you he doesn’t actually understand the left/right spectrum. Obviously political affiliation wouldn’t soften a clear call to assassinate the President and VP, and the actual left wing of this country barely has any representation or power. The Dems are currently…

No, that’s exactly how I would feel regardless of political affiliation. The man is a deranged menace. . Further, it should be the purview of governments to put people into space, not some drug addled moron. He is a clear threat to democracy and should be dealt with under the purveiw of the united states penal code.

Point me to a lefty multi-billionaire who threatens personal violence against the president, and I’ll hate that guy, too.

Sorry but you’re incorrect. A key fob inside the car would very likely have prevented this from happening. A working key fob inside the car will prevent the car from locking; a key CARD will not. Of course a key fob could also be rendered inoperational, but the odds of a phone becoming inoperational due to software…

Or you know, design it like other cars and have a fucking key hole that’s accessible without doing that.

Jesus only an hour?? So if someone keys your car or something but you don’t come back to your car in under an hour you have zero video??

“How dare you make a car that’s cheap and an EV? People actually want that! How are we supposed to sell them a land boat with a tablet from 2015 jammed in the dash?”

Gunny how that is a bad strategy for a foreign company but perfectly acceptable for domestic companies that are crushing competition in their sectors. (Looking at you, Uber, Amazon, etc)

The whole selling point of autonomous cars is that one day, hypothetically, they’ll be safer than humans because they won’t get tired or lazy or lax with the rules.  “No u-turn” signs might seem arbitrary sometimes, but there’s usually a reason they’re there.  Teslas ignoring those signs and then having to back into…
