      Swasticar is my preferred name. And being a dumbass, I bought one a few years ago 🤦

        You’re not a dumbass: how could you have predicted who Musk really was back then? I mean sure, he wasn’t exactly a savory or likable character back then, but he wasn’t a overt Nazi.

        If you had bought it this year however, you wouldn’t be only a dumbass, you’d be a fucking fascist sympathizer too as far as I’m concerned.

          Not shaming OP here, but there has been clear signs of Musk being an unhinged idiot since around 2017 (or whenever the diver-pedo-incident)

            Agreed, that mess was when I realized he was a tool. That said, most CEOs are some flavor of bastard and buying almost anything means giving your money to some exec who doesn’t deserve it so I can understand overlooking it at that point.

            As the competition got better and he got more overtly fashy, buying a Tesla became more and more a political statement rather than a normal purchase. Sucks for the early adopters but most ire seems to be reserved for the cybertrucks.
