I already peg Tesla drivers next to Altimas and Ram 2500s, just different energy
Tesla is for the people who don’t want to drive a car, and their driving aptitude is frequently on full display
Altimas and Ram needs no further explanation, you already know
I already peg Tesla drivers
O rly?

Decent first step with the Cybertruck. Though he botched it and instead of making owners pariahs, they turn owners into clowns and lacerated patients.
Tesla is already a rolling pile of shit. How much more punishment do you want their owners to have?
Where I live there's not many teslas.
But I saw one the other day and it was squeaking like a cheap plastic toy.
I wasn't going to buy one. But seeing such bad quality construction even noticable by afar, reaffirmed my choice.
There are a ton around me. Every time I pass one I pay close attention to the body. Many times, it looks to me like the body panels just don't line up. They kind of look like shit TBH.

Release the X files, Elon.
I used to like that show :(
At first, the air of mystery suggested hidden depths, but increasing exposure revealed that it was all just woven from thin air and would routinely come out with increasingly absurd stories that contradicted previous statements.
Also, the X-Files.
I want to believe.

kek
topkek, even
I wonder what thing TrumpEtAL is going to do to require people to create X accounts.
And then what thing that TrumpEtAL will do to make it so that his enemies can't sign up and hence be in trouble with TrumpEtAL.

Elon's lost the plot. It's a joy to watch.
Implying he ever had it
That's part of the joy, he bought the plot and still managed to lose the plot so quickly it's easy to argue he never had it to begin with.
He paid billions to play himself.
He paid billions (largely of other people's money) to influence the US election and world politics. He succeeded. He won.
I disagree that him owning Twitter causes Trump to win. I have not heard any credible source make this claim. This sounds like 4D chess nonsense. He clearly did not want to own Twitter and didn't know what to do with it either once he did and still had no clue how to use it.
Whatever responsibility can be placed on Twitter it would be them deplatforming him, allowing voters to forget how insane he is. This occurred prior to his purchase.
Rather than attempting to lay the blame for trumps second election on platforms, we need to come to terms with accepting that this is the direction that the majority of American's wanted. This includes those who did not vote, since their apathy allowed Trump to win.
A plurality of Americans are very very dumb. The entire world knows this. We pretend they just don't get us, know us, etc but we cannot ignore the reality exposed by these election outcomes.
Oh I don't think it was a major reason. He may have regretted it at first but that may have been bullshit. Now he's one of the most powerful people in the world, politically, until Trump turns on him.

Not to mention I'm sure his tax cuts and deregulations will offset loses for buying X. Throw in gutting NASA, he opens more contracts for his companies. He will end up making money for sure.
