Poland urges Tesla boycott after Musk’s call to ‘move past’ Nazi guilt

[thrawn@lemmy.world]

Very few reasons to get a Tesla when Lucid exists. I can think of three good ones— price, software reliability, and concerns about the company’s health— but these aren’t enough to overcome the icky feeling of funding Musk and his aspirations for me.

I would say he's right if he meant Germany would move past it's Nazi guilt, stop funding a goddamn present day genocide and arrest the perpetrators of the currently ongoing one, like the ICC has told them to do.

Can you imagine, Germany standing against genocide one of these days ? That would be a grand step forward.

One of my first thoughts about Musk's support for the AfD was that maybe we can trick these idiots into buying Teslas. That at least would be good for the environment

I keep getting this feeling that Musk is a stooge and he sacrificed himself/was sacrificed with the Nazi salute thing as a distraction.

He doesn't give a shit about Tesla tanking, as long as he can use his new connections to ride the stock market waves through some well-planned trades (i.e. insider trading).

These guys can insider trade all they want now. Who the hell is gonna stop them?

Divests from.. him being investee in a company should disqualify it.

Since piracy is a pretty important part of Romanian culture, i dont think it should be excluded when talking about theoretical GDP

The average download speed, according to speedtest.net, is 63.78 MB/s

According to a source i cant find, but looked credible, 68% of computers have pirated software

According to romania-insider.com, 61% of households in Romania own computers and have access to the internet

According to wikipedia, there are 6709224 households in Romania

According to ncesc.com, the average game costs 69.9 USD and takes up 20 GB

According to my calculator app, there are 31536000 seconds in a year

In 31536000 seconds, 2782986 computers could pirate 273320490308 average games, increasing Romanias GDP by 19105102272553 USD

This would put Romania as the country with the third highest GDP, slightly less than Russia

Nah, he's looking higher than just money. He was making a bunch of moves that the MAGA folks weren't happy about, such as getting into fights with Laura Loomer over the specifics of how they're going to fuck over everyone. A little hand gesture at a rally, and suddenly all those people are lining up to defend him.

Still grandparents in a lot of cases. I’m 40 and my grandfather fought the Japanese in WWII.

Plenty of people left on this planet who had grandparents on every side of that war.

Or maybe your parentheses was meant to cover both.

Yeah it was.

Fuck it. I typed it. Maybe some other idiot will read it wrong.

Interesting, so they are externalizing QA to dealerships?
Do they own the dealerships?

[someguy3@lemmy.world]

Yes that was one of their big business model points. Also technically there is no dealership, it's their corporate store.

[someguy3@lemmy.world]

Doesn't matter, he owns the stock and gets rich anyway.

[judahbenhur@lemm.ee]

i am that idiot

This post did not contain any content.

[biofaust@lemmy.world]

But do they really have those many qualified QAs to send to each dealership?
I entered one of their dealership only once and the guy talking to me, and appearing to run everything in there, sounded like a cryptobro on coke, but that was in Sweden, so I may not have a good idea of the reality of things elsewhere.

When history teaches you to not do whatever the fuck you're about to do, forget the history.

[kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

The only way for Germany to move past its Nazi history is not to forget it but to learn from it. For Germany to truly move past its guilt it must:

1. Ban the AfD (they're in the process) and ensure Europe is free of fascists
2. Guide Europe toward a bright free future (they are doing this)
3. Protect Europe from its threats and ensure no nation will ever devisate it again (they're in the process, hopefully they can establish a federal European military)

it's only been 80 years, these motherfuckers can't get over the US civil war after 160 years.

[slopppyengineer@lemmy.world]

Yes, let's forget the colonial past and what we used to do to people coming from Africa that moved to the Americas.
