People actually fall for this BS?
If they think FJB didn't pocket any of that $84,000,000,000 that was supposedly spent to install a half dozen vehicle chargers then yeah, they'd fall for that too.

They fell for "safe and effective". Some of them are so stupid, they would gladly line up for the experimental injections again. There are actually some who think the pedophile is doing a good job and will vote for him again. People are generally pretty damn stupid.

I went to their site and ordered three, when you buy three you get 5% off shipping, AND a free Turbonator for your car.

fjb may not be getting any of that $84B, but here is yet another money grab, $85M in washington state, that I am certain 50% comes off the top:

Commerce awards over $85 million to expand electric vehicle charging across Washington state

February 1, 2024 Commerce News, Press Releases
Funding going to nonprofits, utilities, tribes and public agencies in communities with highest need

OLYMPIA, WA – Governor Jay Inslee joined Washington State Department of Commerce Director Mike Fong today to announce over $85 million in grants that will fund nearly 5,000 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in communities throughout the state. All of the funds are going to nonprofits, electric utilities, tribes and public agencies, and half of the grants will install chargers in communities most at risk of negative health effects caused by fossil fuel pollution.

“One of the most important ways we can make electric vehicles an option for more people is by providing more charging stations. More and more Washingtonians are choosing to go electric, to the point we now have the second highest rate of EV adoption in the nation,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “Thanks to the Climate Commitment Act and other climate investments by the Legislature, thousands more people will be able to choose clean electric cars that are healthier for children and for our planet.”

“We are committed to ensuring that the benefits from decarbonizing Washington’s economy are experienced broadly,“ said Commerce Director Mike Fong. The process for awarding these EV charging grants prioritized projects that add chargers in multifamily housing, publicly accessible locations and in communities highly vulnerable to the health impacts of air pollution, Fong said.

So if you need to charge your car, you have to go to dangerous, shitty areas where the locals are waiting to prey on you. Got it.

Elon managed to find a way to make his businesses into a religion.

Look at his followers. They are absolute zealots. Look at the way they argue about things. They don't argue about cars... they argue as someone would about their religious beliefs. It translates to every scam he sells. If he shit in a bag, I'm sure he'd have them lining up to pay "six figures" for it (and then constantly tell us how amazing it was).

Don't believe me? Try to imagine for a minute if GM built the Cyber"truck". If they built 100% the same thing. The same specs, the same reliability issues, the same thing... with a GM badge on the front of it. They would get laughed out of business. As it is, his merry band of zealots slurp it up and ask for more.
