        That’s what I’m thinking too. They only like him because of his bs on Twitter. Maybe they’re the ones that bought the N64 Truck?

          Yeah, and even then a lot of them remember being browbeaten about his stuff and are still not fans.

          Even worse there are some lefties I know who still defend him now for what he “did” back then

        This is where I think capitalism might actually work by virtue of its own perversions. As the conscientious progressives abandon him, he’s going to have to shill even harder to conservatives to try to tap into that market. If some asshole can get MAGAs to buy into renewables, I’m just going to sit back and let it happen.

      He’s managed to sell some of the richest of them gaudy overpriced electric vehicles, but not enough to make an environmental impact and not for the right reasons.

    They wouldn’t touch Elon until they found out he was a bigoted fascist. Then they flocked to him. Conservatives are pure garbage.

            Exactly. For instance neither of us trust Musk enough to buy his products.

    He sure lost a lot more liberal customers than he gained in conservative ones.

      I don’t know, by the number of cyber trucks I’m seeing with don’t tread on me license plates… I’m wondering if that’s true.

        Cybertrucks are new and stand out appearance wise. Don’t let visibility bias make you think they’re doing well.

      Eh. I live in a well off TN county and Teslas didn’t show up outside of Nashville until he started going mask off.

      So, the rural conservatives? No. The people conservative leadership actually cares about, yes.

    Keyword being sell. He didn’t get the government to force it on conservatives. He made excellent products that people want to buy.

      That’s funny. I remember having both shoved down my throat via ridiculous subsidy.

      https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musks-subsidy-aggregation-1466638430

      Of course, now he’s changed his tune since Tesla is established, and wants subsidies removed. Gotta pull up that ladder behind you to prevent competition.

      Did I miss a time when the government forced me to put solar panels on my house or an electric car in my garage.

      I mean I’d sorta like solar panels and they are expensive so if the government will “force me” to put them up I’ll valiantly take that bullet.

      He “made” a truck with no bed space and will snap if you hitch something to it. The only people buying them are making political statements.
