For people who want to have electric cars replace non electric ones, y’all sure are bitchy about the guy who gives it to you.
Bitch we want trains
He genuinely makes more pollution than all of his electric cars can ever make up for.
Also he’s not the guy who gives it to you, he’s the guy who keeps insisting on shittier and shittier add-ons to technology other people are inventing, and then charging a fortune for us to play guinea pig in his death trap experiments. Electric cars were invented in the goddamn 19th century and then killed by Ford. He’s not some kind of brilliant savant, and he didn’t even re-invent or re-popularize electric cars, that was GM and Toyota. The tweet is right, and the US DOE is more responsible for the growing availability of electric cars than Elon Musk is.
There’s a lot of people in the notes who you immediately know are american because they think that all cities are designed with only cars in mind and that’s just the only way to design them
Like I promise you there are so many cities that were built before car companies could lobby to design them to only be navigable by car
And also I promise you the almost no one in here is saying “explode every car no matter what” either lmao
I was saying that I wish we could abolish cars as a concept because people who can barely draw a straight line shouldn’t be behind two ton death machine wheels when they want to go to Wendy’s
but yeah, y'all, this is what a psyop looks like. someone claiming to be on your side using language that will appeal to you in order to convince you to act against your own best interests.
