2019 Elon was an asshole who called people pedos, cared more about the aethetics of the factory floor than worker safety, manipulated stock value by blatantly lying, fought unionization, and attacked whistleblowers. His open right-wing political 'turn' didn't start until people told him he needed to follow the rules to prevent the spread of Covid.

It's so hard to believe that Cybertruck buyers are surprised that people hate them. They ignored all of these things about Elon and Tesla and then they bought the ugliest car ever made. They didn't hear a single thing about Elon in the last decade and then dropped $100k on a stainless steel death trap that is awful at doing actual truck things and is barely held together? Like how did they hear about the truck in the first place if they are so disconnected from the world?

Preface: you're entirely correct.

"Nazi", for short.

While I think Elon is one now, a Nazi isn't just a ruthless capitalism or human cum stain. There is lot more to it.
