    So car manufacturers did not want EVs as they would require radical changes, but they wanted to show governments that they are also exploring the idea. So they purposefully made ugly looking cars with very low mileage then reported “see? No one wants EVs”

    Tesla really changed that image and showed that EVs can look attractive and be practical.

      Elon did something right for once 😂

      Actually, I secretly like how he bought twitter and nuked the platform as well. It was a toxic hellscape before he bought it and it still is now.

      Starlink is kind of cool. So is paypal. And spacex.

      Okay, I’ve got a lot to thank Elon for. Even though he is bonkers.

      Although he also incited race riots in the UK and encouraged war in Ukraine… yeah nothing to get too excited for
