To those of you boycotting Tesla & Elon a few notes for you:
– Selling your Tesla does nothing for Elon. He already got your money.
– Are you also boycotting the use of PayPal? He was one of the main founders of PayPal.
– I don’t know if you noticed, but the Biden administration had left two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station for nine months. Who went and got them? SpaceX, the company founded by Elon. (There is some debate as to whether they were ‘stranded’ or not.
– I’m fine with your demonstrations outside Tesla service center.. Keep in mind, you are keeping hard working people from doing their jobs. It’s not Elon at these service centers. It’s regular folks like you and I.
– Burning the CyberTruck and other Tesla vehicles doesn’t harm Elon. You are hurting those people who paid good, hard earned money to buy the vehicle. Plus, it’s domestic terrorism. And stupid. And childish. And dangerous.
Would I buy a Tesla today? Absolutely. Most of the Teslas are fantastic cars. The Cybertruck, well, it’s ugly, but people like it, even with it’s flaws. Tesla has a fantastic nationwide charging network.
Do you need to buy one? That’s not my call.
Is it perfect? No. Did Elon build Tesla himself? Hell no. But he put up the money, in the beginning, so that it could become the company it has become.
Don’t like it? Don’t buy one.
But don’t fault the man who had the vision and the drive to make them what they are today.
Is Elon perfect? No. Are you perfect? No. Remember that.
