    I just want to remind anyone thinking that this is a good thing because it will siphon off voters from the Republican Party - Elon Musk is only doing this because Trump cut the EV mandate from the Big Bullshit Bill and didn’t appoint his guy to NASA. No matter what he says about spending or debt ceilings, he doesn’t care about any of it and was in the loop the entire time that legislation was being crafted. He’s still only in this for himself, just as he was when he gleefully threw a Nazi salute on stage thinking he just got everything he could ever want when he bought the president his office.

      As much as I fucking hate Musk, he does understand two things:

      1. EVs will never be the mainstream without federal and state project support
      2. Funneling money from the government to billionaires is the worst thing for an economy

      What I find fucking mind-blowing is that this idiot is selling a shoddy EV and solar product at premium costs to other idiots, but very much aligned with Democrats on the two points above. Not only did he back the wrong horse, he straight up accidentally got on the wrong horse, and rode it threw towns away from where he was living very comfortably.

      Now this fucking moron needs to invent new ways to make Tesla appealing to the “normies” because nobody is buying his bullshit stalling tactics or premium pricing for sub-par products.

      I’ve got my popcorn ready, but the siphoning of votes away from Trump is just the butter on top.
