Looks like they trained it bad on purpose, as a joke.

According to its website, The Boring Company believes major cities need either flying cars or tunnels in order to get rid of traffic. Musk settled on the latter solution because tunnels aren’t impacted by weather changes and “won’t fall on your head.”

It is like he wasn't aware that subways exist.

Never expect people to change for the better. It isn't impossible, but it is unlikely without some kind of major event in their lives that they learn from.

Chasing conservatives whose minds can be changed was always a stupid idea. Obama showed that a message of positive and progressive change increases turnout which favors the Dems because the people who just want things to run smooth or improve are a lot less engaged than the ones who want to tear it down.

But no, they went right back to trying to appease moderates because they don't learn anything.

'Diversity hire' was a slur agsinst minorities and women for decades before DEI became a term. Turning DEI into a slur ss just the expanded version of the same thing since it also includes equity and inclusion.

Conservatives sure like twisting positive things into scary stories to rile up their base.

And if they disagree but understand the purpose then they can sell their car and use the money to buy a new one and the old one is still on the road so the letter backfires.

I get the idea behind the letter, just don't think it will do what it is intended to do.

Boycots only work so far as people agree with you.

So does writing a letter to someone to pass their swazticar on to someone else.

Europe seems to be successfully choosing not to buy more which will be both faster and more effective at reducing the number of Teslas sold and having it leave the market.

That is a massively better response than accusing people of some weird conspiracy and insulting them for not seeing things the same way you do.

I don't think it actually works that way, and people simply boycotting future purchases seems like a more effective strategy at cutting off Tesla income since that is already working in Europe.
