I hear you but wanted to make a point that the other brand (and most old brands) have done some pretty shameful shit. Musk is of questionable character and supports people that aren't great for the common man but his company isn't building tanks to kill Chinese civilians or trucks to transport Jews to concentration camps. His car is currently just a car, I wouldn't buy it but it's just a car.

well that's the thing, isn't it? have done. Musk is still actively doing it.

Most of the planet survives without government handouts. The American people voted in a guy that said he was going to cut the funding of all these programs and then did it. Blame USA citizens for this. Musk and Trump said they would do these horrible things then people there voted for it. Crazy to believe that the system does as intended and gives the power to the majority.

I had a wank yesterday which could have turned into a baby, that doesn't make me a killer

Sure, but if you close down a soup kitchen and people die from starvation, don't you think that's a bit different? We could also cover how USAID propped up American soft power and farmers, but Elon doesn't care about those either.
