There's tesla buyers who dont even know who musk is or what he does/owns. I dont know who owns BMW, Ford, Volkswagen etc. People could easily decide to buy a tesla and not know.
And using hate to fight hate isn't always the best, these maga fucks will just use it as fuel for their regime, embarassing them is a much better way, stickers etc sure, but you shouldnt be physically violent to the person.
Citation??
Or, you just guessing based on the sentence that follows... 🤔
I'd bet significant money that 99.999% of rational car-buying adults know the relationship Musk/Tesla. 🤷♂️
The internet isn't real life.
How surprised were you at the last few US elections? Tells you everything you need to know about how uninformed the majority is.
Yeah. You know the saying "living under a rock"? The people in this thread have never even looked under the rock.
Prove there isnt. Just because we sit on the internet well connected, doesnt mean the average joe is. As I was saying about not knowing who owns other automotive companies, can you name them all? Can you tell me all their political views? It's not too hard to imagine someone buying a tesla without researching the company, come on.
And anyone who does or did know about musk owning them before, could have bought the car before he became a prolific nazi. You cant be serious if you think every tesla owner did deep research into elon musk. Thats so out of touch.
"There's tesla buyers who dont even know who musk is or what he does"
I'm going to have to call bs on that.
Preordered 2016, bought in 2018 well before he was out of the Nazi closet.
Had service done in 2022, this is how my service advisor signed his fucking email.

It's embarassing.
Seems unlikely when exposed to communities like this online, seems very likely when you talk to people who dont go online much.
The man is being covered on literally every news source, print, radio, television, and internet
Maybe in America.
He is (or was) the richest man in the world. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know who he is
You'd be surprised then. Bill Gates was the richest man and not everyone knew him either. Warren Buffett was too and even less knew him.
I think the fact that GOPers get elected even by the people the GOPers are actively screwing shows that under-rock housing is very common.
