But we get called being on the plantation when we side with what Elon considers his opposition.
Elon Musk is an unhinged Nazi and it's not funny anymore

No the fukk it wasn't.
The sheer irony in being a white male conservative and having the nerve to say any other group is malleable to brute force manufactured consensus.

he cant enable what he doesn't control, this internet as you know it could've been made for racists, he's not giving an excuse rather, we know who Elon is, all were doing is beating a deadhorse cause we keep complaining and he keeps being a billionare
golden calf, responding to a poster with the name ba'al, pretty biblical, the conversation was had thousands of years ago, you stuck in a time loop breh, welcome to new romeAre really going to have that conversation one day? I get he's a golden calf, but.....
There is nothing wrong with awareness.
A negro Iike you would have saw the klan next door but would duck your head down because "well that's what the klan does"
Spineless, weak and lacking in any sort of fortitude.
Stereotypical docile negro would responds best to a white man kicking you in the pants

Yall be sounding CRAZY in here, fr. Rich wm don't HAVE no opposition.The Obama Administration will lend Tesla Motors $465 million to build an electric sedan and the battery packs needed to propel it. It’s one of three loans totaling almost $8 billion that the Department of Energy awarded today to spur the development of fuel-efficient vehicles.

There are several things Biden’s administration and Democrats in Congress did do, though, that has supported Tesla — massively.
- Reviving the federal EV tax credit for Tesla: For a little bit of a history lesson, originally, the federal EV tax credit was supposed to have a 200,000-vehicle cap. In order to get more EVs on the road, pro-EV lobbyists from Plug In America convinced lawmakers to make that a 200,000-vehicle trigger point per automaker — once an automaker sold 200,000 EVs, the maximum amount an EV buyer could get would gradually decrease and then be phased out completely. Tesla passed the 200,000 vehicle marker and fully went through the phaseout period, getting to the point that no one buying a Tesla could get a federal EV tax credit of any sort. With EVs from other brands essentially offering consumers a $7,500 discount while buying a Tesla would get you $0, other electric cars had become highly competitive against Tesla’s cars. At the time, it wasn’t the biggest deal, because there weren’t that many competing long-range electric vehicles, but the options on the market have improved considerably, especially in the past two years since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed. What the Inflation Reduction Act did, among many other things, is it completely revived the tax credit for Tesla. Now, there were also requirements that would come into effect regarding where the car and its battery were produced (they couldn’t come from China), but that’s a separate matter and all versions of the Model 3 and Model Y are now eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit. Again, this is effectively a $7,500 discount for Tesla buyers that Biden and Democrats in Congress got the company.
- Subsidies for Tesla’s battery pack production, battery cell production, and lithium extraction and processing: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 also brought about subsidies for each of these things separately. That means that for one EV battery, Tesla gets tax credits for multiple steps in the battery creation process — mining/extraction, lithium processing, cell production, and pack production. This is a large amount of financial support for Tesla, and it’s the only automaker benefiting so much. Other automakers may be involved in battery pack production, but no one else is as vertically oriented as Tesla on this. So, again, this helps Tesla’s financials and helps Tesla’s competitive advantage versus other EV producers.
- NEVI funding: The Biden–Harris administration also initiated a massive program to get more EV charging stations installed across the United States. That’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula (NEVI) funding. “As of May 2024, Tesla had won an estimated 13% of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program’s awarded funds, or about $27 million across eight states. Tesla has won awards to build chargers for 69 of the 501 NEVI-funded sites announced so far,” Google writes.
- Saving carbon credits in California: Automakers in California have to sell more EVs than they do elsewhere, or pay for not doing so. These higher fuel economy standards are a state right provided under the Clean Air Act that was enacted under President Richard Nixon. Donald Trump’s White House sued to take this right away from California. When automaker don’t sell enough EVs in California, they then buy carbon credits from an automaker that sells more than they are required to in order to meet their requirements. Tesla, producing far more than it’s required, makes a lot of money by selling these carbon credits to other automakers. If California’s requirements were lowered to the level of the US ones, Tesla would make a lot less money selling those carbon credits. Fortunately, when Biden came into the White House, he immediately dropped that lawsuit against California and the Clean Air Act.
- Stronger US fuel economy standards: Tesla’s original mission was to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, particularly by accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (which can be fully powered by solar and wind energy). That’s exactly what US fuel economy standards do. However, when Donald Trump became president, his EPA weakened the country’s fuel economy standards. When Biden later took over the White House, he reversed that and brought the nation’s fuel economy standards back up again, requiring automakers to sell more EVs sooner. Perhaps this one doesn’t directly benefit Tesla, but it is completely in alignment with Tesla’s supposed mission to accelerate this transition to electricity.

Elon Musk and Max Power are both really try hard yet incompetent versions of online edge lords.
The fact he calls himself "Max Power" is up there with "TripleAgent" for the most unintentionally funny screennames on The Coli.

Yeah the government should have shut down Tesla and fukk over all their workers to get revenge on one man. Yes, they messed that up huh?
