Yes. People need to get out and fucking vote. Anything less than 80% participation in a presidential election is shameful.

But you need to do some background I think. California 22 might be "only" 3k, but it was 53%-47% in 2024. It's also voted Republican since 2002 (1) The real headfuck about CA-22 is how it's 73% Hispanic and reliably red.

Same shit with CA-3. "Only 24,000 votes" - they won that district by ten bloody points 55%-45%. There were 400,000 votes in the district. Thought it's a little more purple. (2)

Also, your numbers are off compared to wiki. Not sure where the discrepancy is but CA-22 and CA-3 were lost by 11,000 and 46,000 respectively.

I think you're underestimating how much he has ruined this company and his reputation. I dreamt of owning a Tesla long ago. Now, there is nothing he can do that will make me reconsider purchasing a Tesla.

Even if he leaves the company, I will not buy one. Even if he fully divests from Tesla, I will not buy one.

What would their response look like if it were almost entirely hyperbole and fiction?

Would they just let that sit on shelves uncontested orrrrr...would they launch a PR blitz to discredit the author and book?
