It’s true - anyone born after Trumpism is over and musk and the gang are long dead will have the luxury of seeing Tesla as just another company. Given Tesla’s business fundamentals as evidenced by the last earnings report, though, i doubt it will still be a going concern.
It defies reason, doesn’t it! But there are always suckers left holding the bag when reality sets it. Trumpism, like other forms of fascism, is a kind of mass insanity. He somehow convinced 75M rubes to vote for him when his disastrous first term was already in the history books. Maybe it’s not surprising that when Trump puts commerce secretary Lutnick on TV to tell his followers to buy tesla, they listen. At some point, though, they will wake up. I hope it doesn’t take a world war this time.
Tesla is a ruined brand. Even if he sold his shares, many people will never forgive the other shareholders for standing by a Nazi as he demolished American democracy. I will never buy anything from Tesla as long as i live, and i was once part of his key market: i had intentions to buy a powerwall, a solar roof, and a car. People always say that Volkswagen got free from its Nazi roots; I say, not while Hitler wore his brain on the inside.
Life is hard and confusing. Many people are frustrated with the way that the social landscape has changed: relationships, jobs, and economic prospects have all shifted for the worse in developed countries. Young people are the most affected. Every time this happens, a con artist comes along and starts offering easy answers. Sometimes it’s a politician, sometimes it’s a religious leader. Nowadays, it’s often an influencer.
Tate tells men, “it’s not your fault that your life sucks,” and he is right (to a point). After all, people who don’t own houses can’t be blamed for the state of the housing market, right? So who is to blame? According to Trump, it’s brown people. According to RFK Jr., it’s vaccines or food colouring or some shit. According to Tate, it’s women. He tells young men that feminism is surely the reason they are unhappy: the Woke Left is trying to emasculate you! Be an alpha! Follow my simple formula for abusing women and accumulating money and your problems will go away.
Unfortunately, there are no easy answers. This is not a truth that all people can accept. We can fix some of the problems that we are facing, but it will take time, effort, and cooperation. In the meantime, many men are comforted by Tate’s message: women are the reason you are unhappy, and everything can be fixed by returning them to bondage! If you are very young (or just a little stunted), this message is much more palatable than the admittedly challenging option of actually fixing things.
I use the share by email button all the time because it is 2 clicks easier than copying and pasting the url.
that’s right lutnick, keep people guessing as the world dumps us bonds. this is it, people: the world’s richest economic powerhouse is tearing itself apart to satisfy the fantasies of a hate-filled dotard. the collapse of the us is the most spectacular self immolation in history.
waiting is effortless when you have a distraction so good that when they call your name, you briefly forget why you were waiting. i was once tempted to tell the nurse, “hold on, i have 2 more pages to read”
