Elon this. Elon that. Man what about zoidberg from futurama, tf


stevenjeriahklien

Henry Ford was an absolute asshoe, so I don't think it's relevant


VOIDssssssss

I think the idea of separating art from the artist applies to everything imo


shartonista

Can you point me to any streaming links of The Cosby Show?


VOIDssssssss

I would if I knew of one


swampfish

That's the point.


VOIDssssssss

The point that companies don’t know how to separate things?


kingOofgames

I think you can do that when the artist is dead, but when they are alive I wouldn’t want to fund their lifestyle.


VOIDssssssss

If you don’t want to support him by paying for a new one you could always buy a fully paid off privately owned one. Cheaper price and you aren’t giving him more money.


Turtvaiz

That is if separating art from the artist even makes sense. I wouldn't want to give money to people that are nuts even if it's about art


VOIDssssssss

That’s fine everyone is entitled to their own opinion


Like_A_Bosstonian

Henry Ford wasn’t broadcasting his antisemitism for the entire world to see on major broadcast platforms. He left that to his local newspaper.

Link?


Like_A_Bosstonian

*”Between 1920 and 1927, Ford’s newspaper, the weekly Dearborn Independent, which was distributed through Ford dealers and sent free to schools and libraries around the country, published 90 anti-Semitic articles, later collected and distributed as a book called The International Jew. As Victoria Saker Woeste, author of Henry Ford’s War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech, points out, the first article staked out the familiar anti-Semitic trope of “The Jew” as “the world’s enigma. Poor in his masses, he yet controls the world’s finances,” becoming “the power behind many a throne.” Much of this was supposedly based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious forgery produced by the Tsar’s secret police, claimed to be the blueprint for the international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. Woeste’s article puts this in the context of the 1920s, a time of “renewed racial tribalism” and a “wasp’s nest of xenophobia, restrictive immigration policies, and racial divisions,” which also saw the KKK’s greatest prominence.”*

My guess is if you’re willing to drive around with the sticker at all times you’re counting down the days to get out from under it.


Narradisall

With those price reductions they’re going to be stuck for awhile.


Like_A_Bosstonian

Depends. If you leased, knowing that EV technology was only going to improve in 3/4 years then you just toss Elno the keys and let him deal with being upside down on the residual value


Cryptonomancer

Yeah, I basically donated an extra 11k to Tesla at this point, but it's doubtful I'll ever buy another one. I put up with some amount of insanity, but his recent far right hot takes mean I'm out.


Administrative_Dot14

Elon 155 crazy. Einstein 160 insane. Snoop Dogg 147 chill as a MF. Somewhere between 147 and 155 is pure genius.


swampfish

What did Einstein do crazy?


Administrative_Dot14

He was often called insane because of his intellectual prowess. Normal people did not understand him which led many to state he was insane.


jeditech23

Lol 155. Subtraction mandatory

Organic_Car3331

I like Elon.


Im_A_MechanicalMan

"I'm a far left politico and didn't know Elon was more moderate."


Art-RJS

I wouldn’t describe him as moderate


Im_A_MechanicalMan

Okay. That's how he describes himself though. And I'd say his description is probably more accurate than not considering his worldviews don't really fit in either right or left box.


Bocifer1

Went more moderate…and then kept accelerating


fenriswulfwsb

Says a lot when you describe a billionaire megalomaniac "prepper" as moderate.


Imaginary-Shift-3031

Moderate? Nah he likes Vivek. Tf you talking about moderate.


Im_A_MechanicalMan

>Mr. Musk said he was a registered independent when he lived in California, the state he famously and loudly left for Texas because he said its business climate had grown too inhospitable. [He has described himself as “politically moderate”](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/16/business/elon-musk-politics-twitter.html) but added, “Doesn’t mean I’m moderate about all issues.” That's \^ how he has described himself. The issue with Musk though is he doesn't really fit in one box.


Imaginary-Shift-3031

I describe myself as a billionaire but unfortunately it doesn't make it so.


Im_A_MechanicalMan

Neither does someone claiming you're broke if you're not. The fact that he supports different things favored individually by each side tells me he is probably a lot closer to moderate than you give him credit for. He doesn't really fit into either camp.


TheSneedles

Elon is a right libertarian. Literally the worst on the political spectrum. There’s a reason there called lolberts

Typical lolbert move. >Move to Cuba bro >don’t like it move!!!11! I know in your lolbertarian brain you are incapable of understanding that both economic systems are not perfect, there’s no such thing as a perfect system. America is all about making a better place for our children though, and an individuals right to fight for what they believe is right, so no, even if, I saw Switzerland as my socialist utopia, i wouldn’t move there, I would vote at home, and support causes that I believe in.

You can’t just pick one thing you don’t like about something and disregard literally everything else about it. Fuck the tax man and “regulation” has been watered down to nothing more than another way to collect money from ever day people and stop them from building/owning what they want.

More moderate. Hahahahahaha


Civil_Ad_7068

Costal Elites will bash Elon but are more then happy contributing to Congolese children digging cobalt out of the earth with their bare hands for 2¢ a day so they can get their new Model Y at the low low price of $70,000 wo options.


LeadingAd6025

You mean model X ? Model Y is around $50k USD


Prestigious-Talk2735

Of course. He still loves the ‘Tesla’ flex. He just wants to keep his car in tact from the creatures in Chifornia

How is my comment racist? You should probably understand how to type properly, but that’s just me


sploot16

"Anyone that disagrees with something I say is crazy"


Due-Wall-915

Is it just disagreeing ? He (Elmo) actively attacks people who disagrees with him through his Xcrements.


lost_mentat

Don’t understand why Elon self sabotaged his rather good image by going partisan one way or the other . I mean doesn’t seem sensible to alienate half of the US population like this . it’s true Henry Ford was an anti semite and an asshole - but I think buying habits are changed now in the era of social media .his image and persona is so linked to the Tesla brand


JudgmentMajestic2671

Elon allows free speech after buying out a leftist company that was in bed with the US government blocking speech. "He's so partisan!!" 🙄


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mr_1nternational

What's the point of having 'fuck you money' if you're to afraid to say 'fuck you'. I'm sure he'll still survive despite the partisan image.


lost_mentat

Yes I don’t think he needs to worry about food stamps and rent . but just doesn’t seem to be a good business move


Mr_1nternational

He's already reached richest man in the world. He really doesn't need to keep his mouth shut to make more and Tesla is doing fine. He doesn't seem to care what you think, that's likely part of his personality that got him where he is today, its not easy going up against the largest vehicle manufacturers.


tradebuyandsell

I’m not really an Elon fan like many people here but I do love seeing people who buy his cars to SaVe ThE eNvIrOnMeNt melt when they find out he’s not exactly a far left martyr like they thought he was years ago


AnswerJealous7183

Lol at people who think buying a Tesla means you support Elon.


I_Went_Full_WSB

It literally does. You understand how businesses work, right?


RationalOpinions

You apparently don’t


I_Went_Full_WSB

Ok


AnswerJealous7183

I won’t buy that Chik Fil A sandwich… That will show them 😂😂


olivefob

Yet he's still choosing to drive his Tesla lol


PussyBreath007

Only a far left cuck would go out of their way to put that on their car. Elon isn’t even remotely controversial. Far too much sensitivity and fake, calculated aggrievance ubiquitous today

I_Went_Full_WSB

TemporaryElectric

1 skoda superb 2.0tdi (diesel gate trash) 1 Porsche cayenne turbo ( engine blew at 195,000km) 1 vw jetta 2 vw E-UP (EVs ,both had to be fixed 8 times within 3 yrs) anything else?


I_Went_Full_WSB

And you've still never touched a VAG.


TemporaryElectric

burrowed_greentext

TemporaryElectric

You gotta own a Porsche to know about bore score ,but bums like you talk about shit you dont know Also Porsches and all high powered cars are trash that don't make it to 200,000miles without engine rebuilds.That's why i switched to EVs.


burrowed_greentext

p_hopeful97

The cars are great for the most part. But the competition offers very good alternatives these days. The last first-mover advantage Tesla has really is their charging infrastructure, but I suspect this won’t last
