Elon Musk Is Crying At The Prospect Of Having To Make Cheap Cars For Broke MAGAs
Always late to the party, the MAGAs are suddenly into Teslas and are confused about why ‘Leftists’ and liberals are ditching them.
I mean you’ve gotta hand it to Elon for convincing MAGAs that the only EV maker was Tesla, themselves once lacking in desire, and currently the incomes to afford electric drivetrains, not to mention the CEO/ founder hell bent on creating novel rich people machines, despite receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies and a market as wide as the grand canyon.
The Californian leftists that wanted a Tesla already have a Tesla, but are now embarrassed to own one. Almost no one wants to associate themselves with its CEO bond villain, even for a ‘good’ car, and ‘good’ is relative here because he’s better at lying to investors and raising capital.
Many EVs of the 2000s to the 2015s were ugly, boxy ‘city cars’ that were meant to be ‘functional & futuristic,’ at least that’s what they said to excuse the cheap manufacturing. If they weren’t sold on the benefits, these robotaxis would never have sold.
