I shamefully admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla Model S Plaid back in 2021 or 2022. Flush with a shit ton of cash, but fortunately I was reading reports of production build quality issues, many recalls, and ultimately pulled back my deposit.

Looking back at it. The one decision I have no regrets on.

Elon is getting slapped by the invisible hand.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 minutes ago* (last edited 10 minutes ago)

fun fact: the people who originally coined the phrase 'invisible hand of the market' called it 'the invisible hand of providence' which basically means 'gods inscrutable will'. capitalism-at least market capitalism-is literally a religion.

and its god is smiting his favorite special boy. so sad.

I think this hand ain't invisible. Well at least one finger isn't.

spacex and starlink need to be the next to go.

Space X should be nationalized

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago

It should be a part of NASA

We did pay for it.

We're still giving Elon $80 million a day.

im in favor of any company these fuckers were on the board of or were allowed to hold substantial shares of being nationalized as punishment, if we don't end up with some form of communism or blasted wastelands after all this. The capital class needs to be shown consequences, and if we don't get guillotines, they need to at least be forced to watch us sautee their balls.

The brand is forever damaged. Sell while you can.

I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

if Nikola Tesla weren't a eugenicist i'd agree with you

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 6 minutes ago)

it was the turn of the 20th century; everybody was a eugenicist. that's why we say 'people from the past sucked'.

I’m so glad that I lost my job in 2016 and had to cancel my Tesla Model 3 reservation. When I eventually got a better paying job in 2017 I played it safe -assumed I could lose it at any moment- and bought a Chevrolet Spark which has served me well.
