Epstein shows us just how disgusting a wealthy criminal needs to be for society to care about their crimes.

If the battery is on fire, it’s already shorted somewhere.

Is it time to build the guillotines yet?

You must belong to the class of people who the law protects but does not bind.

If it’s designed for cops to access it, it already has bad actors exploiting it.

Then you must also support banning diesel semis, which catch fire much more often.

Musk is a far right authoritarian. He wants to Make Apartheid Great Again. Of course he supports Trump.

Unironically thanks Obama. The average gas price in 2015 and 2016 was cheaper than ANY year of Trump’s presidency.

But capitalism is “greed and shitbirds taking advantage of a situation to enrich themselves at exorbitant costs to the victims”. That’s literally the entire purpose of capitalism. It’s how capitalism is designed to work.

This feature should be illegal. Tesla doesn’t have a self-driving car, much less a level 4 which is required for operating without any human intervention.

You don't get rich by risking your own money. Always set it up so someone else (investors, the government) is left holding the bag if things go poorly, but if things go well you keep the profits.

This isn’t about their market share shrinking. The total number of vehicles they’re selling is shrinking. It’s possible, and even expected, for a market leader in a new type of product to grow sales while market share shrinks. It’s rare for the market leader to shrink while the rest of the market grows.

I never said they chose it because they were racist.

There's a simple explanation: between 2013 and 2017 the only major EV brand was Tesla, and Tesla drivers are at least as bad as BMW drivers.

Your lack of a counterargument is telling.

I’ve seen people say the same about Trump, but in his case, he actually did the crime.

I guarantee they knew it was racist, but did it anyway to draw in racist viewers.

Western Germany was an example of how to do Reconstruction the right way: ban the symbols of the fascists, make it illegal to be one, and (most importantly) don’t pardon the fascist leaders.

That’s like saying “they didn’t put a swastika on it because they’re antisemites, they did it because they needed a German symbol and picked one at random”.

The intent of that flag has always been racist. It didn’t become popular among history buffs, it became popular as a response to the civil rights movement.
