    could hurt pedestrians and cyclists

    I dare you to convince me that anyone still buying Tesla would not see that as a benefit. That’s going to be the number one selling point of this thing after articles like this make their rounds.

        Did you buy your Tesla since Elmo when full fash, and would you buy one now if you didn’t have one already?

          No and yes. Find me an automotive CEO that’s not a giant POS and we’ll talk. It’s a great car, overall.

              You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Musk is unique among billionaires.

              His only ‘uniqueness’ is the brand that’s attached to his name. If you notice, he behaves exactly like all other celebrity billionaires, such as Trump and Kanye.

              Every controversy is just free advertising for their brands.

                You’ll notice OP wasn’t comparing billionaires, they were comparing automotive CEOs. So that’s a scarecrow argument. All of the other automotive CEOs have an order of magnitude less wealth than Musk.

                He has the wealth of a nation state and owns one of the world’s largest social media sites, a rocket company, a car company, and actively promotes far-right hate speech and meddles in international politics.

                  At least he isn’t giving out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

                  The automotive CEO most similar to Musk is probably Henry Ford, and I’m honestly not sure which one is worse.
