The fellow proudly tweeting about Tesla's shiny new Experience Center in Mumbai is the Chief Minister of the state, btw.

The tweet on the right goes on to state that the Minister took action...against the NGO that put out the report.

It wasn't a joke. I have a friend in india who says that people are stubborn and just use the street as it's what they're used to.

I remember there was a white dude who saw kids in Africa weren't wearing shoes, so then ended up just sending loads of shoes there, creating waste and putting shoemakers out of business. Their roads and paths were made of mud, so having shoes wasn't really a priority for them, they were more concerned about drinking water, etc

Your "friend", if they exist, is either a fucking moron and or they're fucking with you. People everywhere in the country like having toilets and indoor plumbing, sometimes they just can't afford them because the government has their heads up their own asses
