        It’s a hyperbole but the proximity of an autocrat’s palace to a Tesla showroom makes for a compelling spot for some French-style sightseeing.

        The Behind the Bastards podcast likens Washington DC to Versailles in a recent episode.

    This the same dipshit who wants to halt federal EV buildout, EV Programs, and federal building charging stations. I doubt any of you needed reminding, but JFC, it pains me that some dummy is gonna buy an EV only AFTER he sat in one for political theater.

      Well, yeah. It’s the same boomer move: pull the ladder up behind you. Musk and Tesla already benefitted from the programs he now wants to cut, to raise the barrier of entry for potential competitors…

      Sawsticars aren’t profitable without the carbon taxes credits. Notice no one has suggested getting rid of those.

      Those public chargers are competion with Musk’s Tesla chargers. The only profitiable part of Tesla.

      The joke wasn’t the energy drink but that the government was blatantly owned by a corporation to its own detriment. The joke is now a reality apparently.

    Well, it was Goya last time. Now, it’s Tesla. Soon, it will be Campbell’s Soup for all the soup-lines his depression will create.

    Seeing musk, trump and a Tesla in a single shot just makes that toxic association so much stronger. I don’t think this is going to play out like they hope.

    Plus, you know the boycott is working, talk about desperate.

    I’m not surprised. Didn’t Donald Trump used the Oval Office once to promote some… ketchup or sauce or something, and was paid for? I mean it denigrades the station of the office, but does he really care?

      He literally sold the Resolute Desk to Goya for ad space.

      This is after he did a Mcdonalds/Dominos ad when he had them cater the NCAA basketball champions’ dinner at the White House.

      It’s what he does.

    I yelled at my phone when I saw this.

    He said “oh wow! The whole thing is a computer!” like cars haven’t been like that for YEARS now.

    The I go on Facebook for some reason (I am in a rural area) and I am seeing people talking about buying teslas in the local community pages. These people are not people that couldn’t afford a used Mitsubishi Mirage…
