Yes Elon drove down the cost of putting satellites in space saving US tax payers $Billion. And yes he proved EV would be welcomed by consumers. Thanks Elon.
But Elon has an Evil twin.

Henry Ford proved that gas vehicles could be affordable to the mass market. William Shockley proved that semiconductors could revolutionize electronics and enabled computers kicked off Silicon Valley and won a Nobel prize.

Ford and Shockley were racists. Apparently Musk loves Trump, Desantis, Abbott MAGA and wants to put his thumb on the scale of American history to favor dictatorship in the USA.

Many folks I know are saying they won’t buy a Tesla because of Musk’s obvious bias. Tesla is about to lose 60% market share. Musk take your heavy thumb off the scales of the 2024 elections. A light lean is ok but just now you own a really bad image. Prioritize Tesla over your ego.
