Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car
-
Of course the fascists invented a dismissive phrase to label anyone objecting against them.
-
Good point, the article states a Tesla that only had 10k miles on it, had dropped in value by about 40%!!
With such low mileage cars on the used market so cheap, Tesla will absolutely be competing against their own used cars. -
Sadly I didn't take that into account...
Elon might have the world's most kickable-dick, but his money spends just like anyone else's.
-
From a musk pov it's 100% logical. Money.
Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.
Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would've sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.
And lastly:
Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That's not a bad deal.

Confusing title. How can a car be a Nazi?
-
Even worse is, he can use the government to sabotage the competition, as Russia and Hungary did.
-
They've probably had more recalls on the cyber truck than they've had sales of the cyber truck
-
Don't be a dick. No one's going around investigating the corporate culture of every parent corporation that they buy their product from because they'd be at it all damn day.
Did you even watch The Good Place that the whole point of the show you can't be a "good" person based on absolute morals, because it's impossible in the 21st century as the world is too complicated.

Rivian don't sell vehicles outside the US though so they're always going to be on the back burner internationally. Plus of course, most of the world don't want a pick up truck style vehicle in any case.
-
Trump hired him in the first place so I don't think he's going to get kicked out because of Trump's distaste. Trump doesn't care about people he only cares about himself and Elon is useful to him.
If he gets kicked out it'll be because he became a risk to Trump probably because he tried to take Trump on.

Are we writing fan fiction for the government now?
I like how it follows the tradition of all fan fiction in being totally inconsistent with established personality traits.
-
Plus of course if the US ever does impose import fees on Europe the obvious response would be to impose import fees on Tesla's. It's a luxury item so the general public probably won't hugely care, and it will hit the only person really to blame for all of this without unnecessarily targeting other US businesses. You know, how import fees are supposed to be used
-
Plus of course people are more likely to be trying to buy used cars (of any brand) or not buying any cars at all given the current economic situation. Which of course is also elon's fault, at least partly.
-
Yeah but that's the logic that the climate change denies also used.
"Global warming can't be real, as it snowed yesterday"
-
Why not both?
-
Not safely anyway.
Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for us, he undoubtedly has full control over whichever department defines the word "safely".

For the Americans that don't know the word Nazism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism?wprov=sfla1
Although he has right-wing ideologies, there is no evidence of Elon Musk being a Nazi. A car can't be a Nazi either.
I'm tired of all of the populism and strong headlines on Lemmy. Actual factual journalism gets burried deep in the feed.
-
If you took a handgun from a Nazi, wouldn't that be a Nazi handgun?
I didn't think they are saying the car chose to be a Nazi
-
yeah, no evidence other than spreading antisemitism on x and litterær fucking heiling /s
