One thing is people who bought a Tesla in the last couple of months. But for people who bought it a year ago, this has to feel unfair.

When did Elon get his panties in a bunch and called that diver a pedophile?

Douchebag CEOs are dime a dozen. People buy products from Nestle all the time even though they intentionally sabotaged women in Africa to force them to buy Nestle baby formula. People still played Blizzard games when their former CEO was silencing women who came to him with allegation of sexual assault. Frankly, it's hard to live in the modern world while avoiding all the asshole CEOs, because 90% of them have done things as bad or worse than calling a diver a pedophile.

There is a reason people are defacing teslas, and it sure as hell isn't that. In fact, no one defaced teslas when that came to light. People started defacing teslas when Elon started overthrowing the US government and throwing Nazi salutes.

My point was it was clearly the fucking turning point lmao. Dumbass

But "I'll just hold out clearly Elon isn't deranged" and speak for yourself i don't consume blizzard or nestle lmao. When I'm not forced to use a specific product that's from an asshole corp I simply won't.

That event was possible to miss. But buying twitter and turning it into a racist/misogynistic/nazi ridden hellscape within few months wasn't.

I don't really think it was.

Was it possible to consider it an non issue? Yes. But that's on whoever did that lol.

Don't get me wrong in comparison to openly being a nazi its small potatoes lol. But the signs have been popping up for awhile that he's not "well".

It would be easy to miss that. However, throwing a couple of crisp Nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration is harder to miss.

Ehhh Elon was up to this dipshit nazi behavior well before a year ago. Anybody who owns a Tesla and was ignorant of that I won't feel bad for if their vehicle is vandalized.
