Terrible take indeed.

FAFO

“On the flipside, you’ve taken a person in a mental health crisis and forced them to lie on their stomach with duct-taped limbs on an airplane. What’s that going to do to them?”

Not one automaker took a stand against Trump before the election.  It’s a little bit late to try and protect their investment now.

Maybe the automakers shouldn’t have been sitting on their hands with so much at stake, profiles in cowardice adds another chapter.

In what universe do you live? There are multiple alloys of stainless steel, and guess what - some are magnetic.

You’re still driving it, though, and I will treat you accordingly.

True, but there has always been something about Musk that rubbed me the wrong way much more than anyone else. It’s like I could sense the crazy lurking under the surface.

IMO 2018ish would be the cutoff date, maybe 2017. I remember that being the point where using AV promises as a stock pump became a lot more obvious to non-car people, as well as a lot of through reporting on ripping off government bodies for grants. That was when it kind of grew out of places like this site and into…

Yeah. I find myself having these moments more and more often these days

When the going get weird, the weird turn pro.

Bullshit, I don’t give anyone slack on Musk. It was pretty apparent, at least to me, that he was an eccentric egotistical asshole even back when he announced the Model 3.

Exactly. He’s always been an incompetent nepo baby that bought his way into everything he’s ever “founded.”

Cute, but it’s no excuse for continuing to drive one.

“New” as in somewhere within the last decade. At least. After that, no one had any excuses for supporting the conman, the modern day robber baron. Yes, he has become worse, but he has had his psychopathy flag fly in public since his X (the pay app) days.

What a poor excuse: We want to support a fascist, but don’t want any blowback for doing so.

Which can also be solved by Work from home, and investing heavily in public transport as well. Why are we trying so hard to push for a consumable luxury item instead of going after the deeper issues? Replace Hwy lanes for Train tracks (Or bus lanes) that run 24/7 and subsidize ev bicycles and scooters, incentivize…

“Senators are now pushing for more to be done to safeguard drivers, passengers and pedestrians...”

“the problem is that I don’t think you need a CDL to operate even a large one.”

I’m just here to drink the sweet tears of the Musky Boys.
