The “pre-orders” weren’t pre-orders. They didn’t secure a VIN, were zero commitment, and were fully refundable at any time. You were literally just giving Tesla a free loan of $100 to say “I might buy one of these”.

Other models? Absolutely. Cybertruck? No, fuck those people. Elon was full mask-off fascist by the time deliveries started.

I think you’re underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn’t like it. Anyone who’s ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.

He’s not playing 4D chess, he’s playing baby’s first turn-based strategy game and even then he’s not very good at it.

Pretty sure that’s what Musk thinks his is.

Reminds me of mandrakes from Harry Potter. They scream like they’re alive but they’re just there to be harvested.

Funnily enough, this is exactly how billionaires view us.

Ooh, ooh, look at the price of a single Tomahawk missile or anything else we regularly blow up, even in training exercises!

You can either aid democracy in South Africa, or have 1 Tomahawk. I wonder which does the most good…

Not even that. Gun owners re-elected Mr. “Take the guns away 1st, due process 2nd”, they don’t even give a fuck. They’re all a bunch of hypocrites and will screech “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” over and over, but completely ignore the fact that Trump’s policies were absolutely abysmal for gun owners.

It’s very much a “reclaimed word” in the same way the n-word is. Totally cool if one of my queer friends says it, not cool if some rando on the street shouts it at me.

Yeah, that’s basically exactly it. Nothing really wrong with it, but it is kind of just a marketing gimmick. Basically the same as calling something like Spam “Upcycled pork”

The ADL is already fucking apologizing on his behalf and saying he was just being “Enthusiastic” and then went on to say “In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead,”

Absolutely spineless fucking cowards, the lot of them.

I live in an area that’s listed as one of the top 10 friendliest places to be trans, and I’m still absolutely fucking terrified. The election was basically the point of reckoning for me recognizing I was trans, solely due to the sheer sense of dread I felt towards the potential hatred and violence I might be facing, without explicitly recognizing why I was feeling that way until I put 2 and 2 together.

Or the bump stock bans, or supporting red flag laws saying “Take the guns first, due process second”.

The Melon Labia, Y’all Qaida Fudds never actually gave a fuck about gun rights at any point. The Trump admin was far harsher on gun rights than the Obama administration, despite the incessant wailing that gun owners were going to be rounded up any second and put into camps, and yet never said jack shit about it. They’re all cowards who just want to kowtow to Cheeto Mussolini, and have never for a moment cared about the rights of anyone.

Accidentally screenshotting your bank acct and routing number is the only one I can really think of.

By far one of my favorite bumper stickers

Getting rid of Title IX protections is going to make surviving pretty fucking hard if you wind up with a bigoted manager who decides to fire you… Or just companies decide they don’t want to hire trans people at all.
