Fascist Fools

Tesla workers are revolting because Musk is a Nazi, or something:
The Guardian reports that some of Tesla’s most ardent supporters are now offloading their prized electric vehicles, citing CEO Elon Musk’s increasingly active role in the Trump administration. Musk’s EVs have always found their most fervent support among leftists eager to display their environmentalism. One self-described “true Tesla fanboy” eagerly placed a deposit for a Cybertruck in 2019. However, he recently traded in his Model 3 Performance for an Acura and purchased a Ford F-150 Lightning instead of waiting for his Cybertruck to arrive. “I didn’t want to be saddled with a vehicle that was associated with something so awful,” he explained. “When you own a vehicle like that, you are advertising for that company.” The former fanboy is not alone in his disillusionment. Across social media platforms, dozens of posts have emerged from Tesla owners proclaiming their decision to sell their cars or drop their leases. Some have even posted photos of themselves making obscene gestures towards their former vehicles. One woman claims she called her mother to inform her, “I’m selling the Nazi mobile.”
Volkswagen already had one, but whatever...
