I hope Tesla completely collapses. Will enjoy seeing Musks wealth and influence fade

I fear he is now in position to force goverment to buy his shit cars. Cybertrucks for cops etc.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He is, otherwise he will get funds in some way or another. Rich people can't become poor today.

If tesla failed and just lost his entire position...

He would still be a billionaire lol

These people can at fail. They are the system

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, fuck Musk. On the other hand, the US replacing huge fleets of gas vehicles with electric and building out all the attendant infrastructure would be a huge climate win.

Plus, it's a vehicle that's likely to be shit for its owner, so I'm cool with cops having them en mass

Round about way to defund them, force them to spend funding on maintaining overpriced junk.

That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They'll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you mean "police needs to buy more cybertrucks, so they always have a bunch of spares when they break down due to a puddle"

[–] frazorth@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They'll break down in transit!

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah probably, but if this forces Tesla to close all factories outside America.

Lol it was like this with Twitter and Kamala. You guys live in a bubble m this isn't the real world.

Twitter didn't collapse and Kamala lost.
