    I feel bad for the folks with the stickers, but also… I’ve known for years and I haven’t been paying that much attention.

      There was a period between 2018 and 2022 where it was possible to be aware that Musk was an asshole, as many rich people are, but not be aware of his being a full-on Nazi.

        Probably just making excuses for myself, but even then who cared. He was finally getting deserved criticism, people were no longer hanging on his every word, plus he was just running a couple businesses …. Who would give him any actual power?

    There is no respect for the vehicles here. People are just stuck with the cars now.

        I think you mean it became clear In 2018. Honestly if you were paying attention it was well before that, but that was big news. Even that article mentions him repeatedly coming under fire for his comments on twitter

          Exactly those are signs. But it’s possible to spout nonsense and do no real significant harm. The purchase of Twitter was a significant turning point. Rather than thoughts or opinions it became actions.

          That’s when it became obvious that he was a terrible human. The odds weren’t exactly good, since only a deeply flawed human can actually amass that much wealth.

          However, the “oh my, is… is he… an idiot?” came some time later for me. Aka, the “Elon moment”. The point in time when you hear Elon reveal how clueless he is, by talking about a topic you know something about. I think it was watching the absurdly cringy teams meeting with twitter engineers

          He is clearly shit at engineering, has no idea about software development … sooo, it stands to reason that he also doesn’t know much about rocket science.

          He sure seems to be gifted at making governments subsidise his ventures tho. So, that’s something… I guess.

    Need a “not a SSwasticar” bumper sticker where the “ss” is the German SS logo, the 3rd S is an actually swastika and the “t” is the Tesla logo.
