nonzero chance that he runs anyway and everyone on the right, including all the Trump-picked judges, just ignore that rule entirely

doing what trump did isnt easy i doubt elon has the ability to serve the red meat but it is nice to not really have to worry about it

NEW: Elon Musk says he’ll vote for Republicans this year because “the Democratic Party is overly controlled by the unions and…class-action lawyers.”Musk is a notorious union-buster & was hit with a class-action lawsuit from 1k Black workers who alleged rampant racism at Tesla. pic.twitter.com/2SEUBTgDXm— More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) May 18, 2022

(My stepsister is a complete Elon stan. She’s also a recovering environmental scientist like myself and she has recently self-diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. At this point I think she’s just trying to keep her head above water, she was delivering for Amazon and got laid off so can’t comment on her Y/NIMBY status. If any of this seems like it’s violating her confidence someone please delete it, I don’t think there’s any crossover between the audience here and her social circle but just in case.)

that guy I know who keeps wrecking his teslas (lol) had to wait for a new tesla and his interim used car he bought? a bmw
he has absolutely bizarre choices in motor vehicles, though. he previously went (iirc) from one of the early hyundai hybrids to a hummer to a chevy volt

Not to say that all Tesla drivers are douchebags, viborg, just that a plurality of douchebags are Tesla drivers.

yeah the flaw in the plan is that youre alienating other prospective buyers, but who knows elon is always doing weird short term plays, makes me wonder whats really going on over at tesla, i have speculated about major account fraud itt, just a lot of weird shit idk, maybe its worth it to him for whatever reason to boost teslas sales short term by owning the libs

he needs to emphasize how environmentally destructive the Tesla is, or maybe make them artificially even more so. like add a fake tailpipe that emits a stench and benzene or something.

All Teslas now come standard with truck nuts and exhaust pipe that emits fart noises whenever a Bernie sticker is picked up within twenty yards.

at work we have a Tesla guy and he makes it the core of his entire personality. he wears nothing but Tesla polos, set his desktop & phone backgrounds to photos of his car, once sent the department a "Tesla FAQ" including lines like "Q: Can I drive it?

There is a whole fart app. Lots of different fart noises which you can direct outside or to one or several of the internal speakers.

I've told this story in here before but there's a feature where, if the car detects its being broken into, it'll lock all the doors and play Trans-Siberian Orchestra at max volume. I know this because it erroneously went off on my brother's car with his wife and 1 year old inside. She thought it was loud enough to potentially cause hearing damage. I'm guessing that is another one of Elon's ideas that nobody could say no to.
