I think he is panicking over public image tanking Tesla. He went Broke trying to be not woke.

Also he is just kinda dumb

It's not just public image, the bill cuts a lot of renewable energy shit that benefits his companies

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah if the Senate bill is passed as-is it functionally kills Tesla as a company. Residential solar and EV tax credits are getting nuked from orbit, and those two things prop it up entirely.

Oh well that sucks because I like the solar panel benefits.

I really don't care though if his company gets nuked from orbit. It's not like the working class benefits from the products of the company Tesla

Considering biden put an 1 bajillion% tariff in chinese solar panels, it's not like the country actually cared about the environment

Right and wrong aren’t really applicable to people who cynically drift between stances depending on expedience

Elon can say things which are factually correct, like he could tell you that water is wet (Yes, water is wet, don't be a redditor), but he can never be right.
