It's still so crazy that this WASN'T a huge fucking wake-up call to a lot of people.

Tesla ran a bunch of discounts a couple months after he did this and I saw so many new Teslas with temp tags. Some even had the "I bought this before Elon went crazy" sticker.

People don't care when money is involved

That post that said a tesla is like if your printer was a car was golden. Imagine your car not unlocking when it's on fire because of some malfunction. Buying a tesla is like inviting yourself into a Saw movie.

How they enjoy the inflation that's causing the price of everything to go up.

This was so bat shit insane to me. I spoke with multiple people that swore up and down it was a heart warming gesture and everyone was being ridiculous for even suggesting it looked like a Nazi salute. If there was an Olympic event for sig heiling, this shit would have gotten the gold medal. Perfect 10's across the board. The second one was a little weak tho. Maybe like 7.3/10

It didn't matter what he said it was, they were always going to parrot it for him
