There’s so many good lines in this article from Danya Issawi at The Cut, that you should read the entire thing. Nothing new here for those paying attention, and I feel compelled to note that anyone could have known about Elon Musk well before he supported Trump with even the lightest of web searches. A few of my favorite lines:
A few years ago, Teslas were a status symbol: sleeker, more expensive, modern-day Priuses with mild sex appeal.
And:
He’s cringe to an astonishing degree — allegedly faking his gaming stats, starting beef publicly with his own daughter, and his evident, unending desire to be thought of as cool.
Also:
No sticker, tape, or “oyota” camouflage can obscure the hard truth that the Tesla-as-status-symbol has gone rancid.
Tesla’s were, to be clear, never good cars. They were some weird “I am cool” badge, from a company ‘run’ by some dude who will likely die trying to be thought of as cool. Maybe on Mars.
