Musk acts like a petulant 13 year old, stupid PR stunts like offering to fist-fight Putin over the Ukraine as people are dying in that war, or a MMA match with Zuckerberg, or, asking all of his drooling sycophants what charities deserve his largess via a poll.
Why not do like Danny Thomas (St. Judes) or Norman Schwarzkopf (started a boy's camp among other things) or Paul Newman (whose products' profits all go to charity) ? No fanfare, no publicity stunts, nobody kissing their asses - they just went off and did spectacular, humanitarian things out of a sense of altruism. |

Elon is okay in my book, but I have no interest in his electrical appliance.

Musk good, but e-cars are still for phaggots.

I don't hate EVs at all. I think they have a long way to go before they are practical.
What I do have is a strong aversion to things the government says I have to do simply because they are heavily invested in the solution to a problem they created. |

Nope - never particularly liked the man, loved his policies though and he doesn't fall UP stairs - there is that....
But then he's not an 18-wheeler driver, didn't spend his youth in a Puerto Rican neighborhood, didn't bitch slap CornPop, didn't nearly die in a 20 minute kitchen stove fire, besties with low-level Amtrack staff, didn't cure cancer and isn't trying to build a train across the Indian Ocean while talking to dead people and shaking hands with the air. |

Apparently OP has joined forces with GS and Phred, that anyone who does NOT worship at the alter of BEVs, "hates" Tesla. Another one of these binary folks who think that only two states of emotion exist in the universe: either you "love" it, or you "hate" it. I think watching hockey on TV is irritating, so I don't "love" it. But I have attended hockey games IRL, and if I have good seats, I generally have a good time. But no, that's not good enough, they will say I "hate" hockey. Small-minded shit if you ask me. |

We went car shopping Saturday to look for a replacement for Kathy’s 7 year old Explorer. They had two of the EV “Mustangs” on the lot priced well. I’d actually consider one if they hadn’t already stopped producing them. We ended up with a new Explorer ST that she loves.
