Fuck Musk. He built an entire automotive platform on the concept of “sustainable transportation” and took those on the right to task for denying climate change. NOW he’s supporting the POS GOP candidate that had the audacity to call climate change a “hoax” repeatedly at the debate. Fuck you Elon!
I’ll call him apartheid boy faster than anything, but this claim is largely inaccurate and needs to stop being repeated, because the truth is bad enough.
He got rich by scamming Compaq and thanks to Peter Thiel, gay fascist, kicking him out of control at PayPal.
Not only did Musk’s father own part of an emerald mine, but he was given that part of ownership after allowing shady people to use the family plane to transport things without asking any difficult questions.
Not only did his own father call Elmo out on his fake “rags to riches” story, by throwing a bag of unrefined emeralds on the table.
Elmo even went as far as to state his father had a stake in an apartheid emerald mine in an interview in Forbes of 2014.
He tried to get the interview removed of course, but it still is on the Wayback Machine.
Excerpt:
JC: How do you handle fear?
EM: Company death – not succeeding with the company – causes me a lot more stress than physical danger. But I’ve been in physical danger before. The funny thing is I’ve not actually been that nervous. In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn’t realize how dangerous it was. I couldn’t find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother’s – which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this planeload of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I’m thinking, “Man, this could really go bad.”
Ehz he didn’t built an automotive platform. Other people did that, he bought it and green it mostly through controversy and by now it’s quite clear that Tesla’s are quite shit to own and drive.
Teslas are awesome to own and drive. It’s an annoying checklist that takes an hour when you first get the car to make sure your car isn’t one of the ones with the bad panels, doors that don’t close nicely, etc., But you can decline the car if it has any of those things, or they fix it right away. Once you are through that part it’s really a great vehicle, especially if you have a charger at home. Gad stations are super inconvenient if you think about it.
now it’s quite clear that Tesla’s are quite shit to own and drive
By whose metric? Tesla owners have a 97% approval rating. I know tons of people that drive Teslas and they have zero maintenance other than tires and windshield wiper fluid. Hate on Elon all you want, but to assume the cars are shit because he is shit is just juvenile.
I mean I will readily accept that the internet is a fickle place and nothing is ever as black and white as it would seem but there has been a metric fucktonne of examples lately for why Teslas are just straight up bad cars. Cheap materials, poorly wired electronics, broken features, etc.
Like just casually scroll through any car subreddit or other online forum and you’ll see people recording their Teslas just breaking down.
My BIL just bought one, gas is around $6/gallon in Hawaii and there is basically no mass transport. He tried to buy another EV but there was a 6-8 month wait-list. He loves the car, it is what it is. QC has improved over the past few years.
Also, anytime when “97%” of people agree on something it’s the same as “97% of people voted for Putin, they all love him!” and you know it’s pulled out of some ass or another
Keep your enemies closer. Where do you think GOP Republicans live? Texas. What vehicles do they drive? Gas/diesel.
Call him everything he is. But he is a fantastic businessman for going to the place of most resistance and turning his worst demographic to his biggest group of followers.

Dude Elon never did anything. Only people he paid with emerald slave money did.

Bennett Tomlin investigated the emerald mine claims. It’s really interesting: https://youtu.be/4oNoy7Ay-yU?si=Y4-2_nCk73sWHmhW

Until you get into a fender bender. I’ve seen a few too many reports of people having to spend thousands for spare parts that should be hundreds top.
By whose metric? Tesla owners have a 97% approval rating. I know tons of people that drive Teslas and they have zero maintenance other than tires and windshield wiper fluid. Hate on Elon all you want, but to assume the cars are shit because he is shit is just juvenile.
Would love to know where you got the 97% approval rating.
His ass

Zero maintenance is a bold claim. They have repair people that go to your house to replace parts when they break.
I didn’t claim anything about zero maintenance? Lol
The comment above yours did I meant to click on their comment but did yours instead.
I assume the cars are shit because they spontaneously combust.
Also, anytime when “97%” of people agree on something it’s the same as “97% of people voted for Putin, they all love him!” and you know it’s pulled out of some ass or another
Sued the owners to force them into calling Elon a founder.
Elon didn’t even found the company. He just sick’d his lawyers on the founders and bought his way into the “founder” title.
Keep your friends close.

He moved production to Texas for tax reasons. That’s it. He’s not a fantastic businessman; he just hates paying his fair share.
