Did not know that! Any reason why he designed the logo to look like an IUD? I can’t not see that, so I’m grateful for these redesigns ha

u/ToplaneVayne 23d ago

It's a part of a cross section of an electric motor, meant to look like a T.

u/cXs808 23d ago

that is a cool idea but it needed some serious thought. It looks like an IUD to everyone because nobody knows what the cross section of a electric motor looks like.

It's also not even an accurate rotor from an electric motor lol

It also wouldn’t shock me if a lot of folks didn’t know what an IUD looks like - or even what it is.

or confuse it with an IED

u/I_like_squirtles 23d ago

I did that and blew up my pussy.

1

u/CeeJayDK 23d ago

I thought it was supposed to look like Thors hammer Mjølnir - the actual Thor .. not the Marvel version.
Because Thor is the god of thunder and lightning.

u/Susanna-Saunders 22d ago

They use electric motors for IUDs? Odd!

1

u/beyd1 23d ago

It's an M with wings.

u/Juulian123 23d ago

Their talking about the Tesla "T" logo...

3

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

I get it, but all I see is an IUD. Obviously it’s unintentional, or one would hope. Either way it would be a great logo for birth control.

2

u/Anonymouse-C0ward 23d ago

I mean, fElon’s face is a good logo for birth control. It only makes sense that his car company logo does the same nowadays.

u/throwaway098764567 23d ago

mazda? always looked like an owl face to me

u/iwuvwatches 23d ago

he wanted to add Wi-Fi to IUDs so women can be more productive. That never panned out so he decided to make cars.

34

u/Namaker 23d ago

"Make women productive again"? Or "That's why it's called 'reproductive system'"

8

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Good lord

6

u/headrush46n2 23d ago

Its called uterus Marge, not uteryou.

u/Available_Success790 23d ago

So my brain is really trying to make a joke about the Tesla IUD logo, Elon's ignored children, and his current job auditing the government "RE:Productivity"

But I just can't string it together so y'all have at it.

1

u/iwuvwatches 23d ago

So my day is gonna be fucked thinking about this!

1

u/Available_Success790 23d ago

Lol it keeps popping in my head too

1

u/iwuvwatches 23d ago

Here is something to work with. Special deals for women to become Elon's Handmaid.

28

u/AnRealDinosaur 23d ago

I really hope this ends up in one of google's Ai overviews.

3

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

And that’s not entirely unbelievable, hmm

u/try2try 23d ago

be more productive.

Also trackable, and able to be bricked remotely

u/sunlit943 23d ago

Hilarious

u/bayradbury 23d ago

It's supposed to look like a flying owl I think

12

u/TheObviousChild 23d ago

Pretty sure they meant the Tesla “T” that looks like an IUD.

3

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Correct, also, apt user name

2

u/deflorist 23d ago

oh shit

1

u/Susanna-Saunders 22d ago

Remember Musk is a eugenics freak...

7

u/hardboard 23d ago

The Tesla version must be a frying owl.

1

u/ChefChopNSlice 23d ago

Or a Nazi Eagle.

1

u/SpeedyGonsleeping 23d ago

It’s a reference to the internals of an electric motor.

u/mkymooooo 23d ago

Zoom zoom

u/ThresholdSeven 23d ago edited 13d ago

I don't know what it's meant to symbolize other than a stylized T for Tesla, but I agree the similarity to an IUD is fitting, as well as it being a metaphor for sterilization. I don't think I have to explain why.

2

u/Yellowbug2001 23d ago

I've thought the same for years, I suspect they'd probably have a different logo if they'd had a few more women giving input.

3

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Not sure we’re allowed to talk about diversity in the board room anymore… oh wait, that’s only south of the boarder (sorry in Canadian)

3

u/Yellowbug2001 23d ago

I'm planning to keep talking about whatever I want down here, but I'd sure like to be as confident I won't get disappeared for it as I was like, 2 months ago. 😐

2

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

This too shall pass. If you need time away somewhere accepting, we’re up here with open arms. There are politics here too, but not like that.

2

u/Yellowbug2001 23d ago

My husband is applying for blood right citizenship in Romania, which would let us live and work in the EU... Hoping we won't need to use it (no offense to Romania, which looks quite nice actually), but I suspect if we waited much longer to start looking into escape options we could regret it in a big way. It's NUTS that that's where we are.

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Virtual hug, and best wishes in your hunt for alternatives. Only visited there once briefly, but agree it has some beautiful spots!

2

u/shana104 23d ago

Oh man. Now that you mention it....thanks for the realization. :p

Oh, and Amazon looks like a dick.

3

u/hce692 23d ago

Um.. the Car design architect is not doing logo design???

2

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Fair for sure, but whoever designed the logo…. It’s still an IUD.

2

u/WilfordsTrain 23d ago

If only Mama Musk was using her IUD 50 years ago.

1

u/joebluebob 23d ago

If only she swallowed

1

u/WilfordsTrain 23d ago

Hahahaha !!!!!

2

u/Halt96 23d ago

So true!

1

u/[deleted] 23d ago

To ward off unwanted pregnancies?

1

u/No-Consideration-891 23d ago

Lmao as someone with an IUD I never made that connection 😂 can't unsee it now.

1

u/flitterbug78 23d ago

Apologies. But ditto 🤗

1

u/Kitchen-Somewhere445 23d ago

Huh? An IUD looks more like a T!

1

u/VIPTicketToHell 23d ago

The stylized T part of the logo predates him joining

1

u/Brash_Attack 23d ago

My guess is the car designer did not design the icon.

1

u/worthpackingin 23d ago

Looking into the future of his obsession with procreation and controlling women?

1

u/Jon66238 23d ago

He probably didn’t design the logo? And it’s just a T

1

u/ItsLohThough 23d ago

As a reminder, he did not start Tesla.

1

u/freesia899 23d ago

I've always thought that, too. The guy had issues long before this current shit.

1

u/Much_Essay_9151 23d ago

He reconnected with his brother lost at adoption. Invited him and his family to stay at the mansion. Then decided to allow him to design a car for the everyday man. Thus, the tesla truck was born

1

u/Nearby_Pay_5131 23d ago

The Mazda emblem is for the mascot, the owl.

I have the scar embedded in my arm, just as it appears on the steering wheel.

That car did what it was supposed to do in a horrific accident. I will never complain.

1

u/Mahadragon 22d ago

When Tesla’s first started hitting the roads in CA, the “T” looked like a shirt. Over the years it has evolved, but for the longest time every time I saw a Tesla I saw a shirt on the back.

1

u/Id_Rather_Beach 22d ago

thanks for that, now I won't unsee it either!! argh!!

1

u/Foontlee 23d ago

It's part of an electric motor cross section.
