I may still end up with one, I dunno..  I hate Elon, but if I didnt purchase things from companies with leaders I disliked, I wouldnt have much of anything.. :).  

I think the growing prevalence of “I bought a Tesla before I knew Elon was crazy” bumper stickers is proof that he is definitely hurting sales to some degree. He really shot himself (and his investors) in both feet when he bought Twitter and started really putting his insanity on full display!

You know we’re all just laughing at DeSantis, right? He has a looooooooong list of offenses that we consider him “bad” for, and lying about his height isn’t anywhere on it.

The valuation drop is the only thing likely to do that, sadly.

Being 5'7", I can tell you that it matters. Women on dating apps will put minimum height requirements in their bio, usually 5'10" or more, even if they’re 5'2". Taller men look down on you, not just literally, but take you less seriously and make jokes about it. You have to just suck it up too, because if you say…

He definitely is not scared of you, bro. He WOULD be scared of going into the downtown part of a major city, though. 

Never really noticed how weirdly DeShitheel walks ... but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

If he was a private citizen, he’s be driving a Hummer or a big-ass Ram (with a hemi) to prove how manly he is.

I wonder how much of the decline with Tesla is because of Elon directly. I myself am looking for a new car, and I want to get a EV. Tesla is the leader in that market, so that was my natural inclination.. I would have purchased earlier this year, but Elon has really turned me off and that most definitely has impacted…

which DeSantis declines as he can’t accept gifts (while on camera/being recorded)

A few head scratchers here:

Women aren’t asked about height with as much weight, but they are asked about hair, hair color, Botox, fillers, weight, plastic surgery, bust size, age and all sorts of invasive things on a regular basis.

“If you can’t lie about your height, how can we trust you to be dishonest about all the other stuff?”

The crazy thing is that I am sure he would infinitely prefer to defend his height (to quote George Costanza, “It is not a lie if you believe it is true”) than field questions like “your brand of fascism is immensely unpopular with other fascists across the US. Is it more of an indictment on you that other Nazis find…

There is something so pathetic about someone who has to constantly tell you how much of a manly man he is...

“they’re supporting someone who can’t even be honest about their height.”

This means that they just passed the first test of being a GOP candidate with flying colors.

Basically the same as Trump claiming to be 6'3".

They have rejected basic human decency at this point.

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”

I thought the same thing, but then I asked myself "why are they trying so hard to stop voters if it truly doesn't count?" The "our votes don't count" mentality is the rumor that spreads like wildfire. I wonder who pushes that idea into our brain space.
