This is where I think capitalism might actually work by virtue of its own perversions. As the conscientious progressives abandon him, he's going to have to shill even harder to conservatives to try to tap into that market. If some asshole can get MAGAs to buy into renewables, I'm just going to sit back and let it happen.
He's managed to sell some of the richest of them gaudy overpriced electric vehicles, but not enough to make an environmental impact and not for the right reasons.
Of course, now he's changed his tune since Tesla is established, and wants subsidies removed. Gotta pull up that ladder behind you to prevent competition.
Has he though?
Not from what I can tell, maybe a little teeny bit but nothing meaningful
That's what I'm thinking too. They only like him because of his bs on Twitter. Maybe they're the ones that bought the N64 Truck?
Yeah, and even then a lot of them remember being browbeaten about his stuff and are still not fans.
Even worse there are some lefties I know who still defend him now for what he "did" back then

Thanks I hate this, but you're absolutely right.
Anon bought it

They wouldn't touch Elon until they found out he was a bigoted fascist. Then they flocked to him. Conservatives are pure garbage.
And they still don’t buy his products.
Hey look at this!
I have something in common with pro Trump conservatives!
We have more in common than separates us!
Exactly. For instance neither of us trust Musk enough to buy his products.
Smart people don't buy cybertrucks.
He sure lost a lot more liberal customers than he gained in conservative ones.
I don't know, by the number of cyber trucks I'm seeing with don't tread on me license plates... I'm wondering if that's true.
Cybertrucks are new and stand out appearance wise. Don't let visibility bias make you think they're doing well.
Oh, no no, they're not required to put that "don't tread on me" plate, we already know they're all ancaps
Clown to clown communication
schwarzenegger sold that shit to conservatives.
musk once again taking credit for doing fuck-none.
He didn't though.
Eh. I live in a well off TN county and Teslas didn't show up outside of Nashville until he started going mask off.
So, the rural conservatives? No. The people conservative leadership actually cares about, yes.
I'll believe it when I see cyber trucks replace F150s.
By being a bigot
Money.
Final answer.
Edit: 🤞just in case, but I’m pretty confident in my answer.
Are we forgetting 4patriots.com?
Keyword being sell. He didn’t get the government to force it on conservatives. He made excellent products that people want to buy.
The Art of the Deal, not The Art of Shoving Shit Down People’s Throats.
“He made” - ahahahahahaha
“Excellent products” - AHAHAHAHAHA
That's funny. I remember having both shoved down my throat via ridiculous subsidy.

Did I miss a time when the government forced me to put solar panels on my house or an electric car in my garage.
I mean I’d sorta like solar panels and they are expensive so if the government will “force me” to put them up I’ll valiantly take that bullet.
He "made" a truck with no bed space and will snap if you hitch something to it. The only people buying them are making political statements.
