For its part, Tesla has been trying to boost its image with the help of President Trump. On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla’s cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.
Somehow, I don’t think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.
You can blow that exact point up pretty large. The MAGA verse is a parasite on the rest of the US. I would love to see them try to stand on their own as an independent nation. It would be Texas + a bunch of little removed countries gathered around its skirts. They wouldn’t have the economic wherewithal to GDP their way out of a wet paper bag.
Yeah does Elon not know who his main economic base is? Environmental and techy liberals that love to cancel people, he got into the wrong business for his political leanings I think
I think that’s what the Cybertruck is for, to appeal to Conservatives. I live on the edge between blue and red counties, and down in red territory the Cybertrucks are everywhere. (Meaning I saw at least four different ones.)
I’m not sure any of them have strong enough positions on anything other than their next grift. They would become Captain Planet if it kept them on the gravy train.
The difference is Biden is a gun owner. So at least it would be buying a product he actually has. There has been incidents referencing him and his wife having at least a shotgun (so 2+ guns)
With Trump hating on electric cars like he had for so long, and not knowing how to drive, it’s a bit different.
Many families don’t throw away guns, they pass them down. So antiques are a plenty as well. Being that his dad was born in 1915, it’s very likely they have guns from before WW1 around.
Well if they make a Cybertruck 2 that’s lifted and looks like the Dildozer, they might have a new market. It’ll get 50 miles per-charge, but it’ll intimidate their neighbor’s kid, so it’s worth the $380,000 price tag (financed, of course).

Ah, yes… Let me tell you about a little restaurant called Chick fil a…
Never underestimate hate, stupidity, and laziness.

Half of them are broke as fuck and the other half are heavily invested in oil company stocks. Elon made a poor choice of allegiance.
A portion also associate EVs and their ilk with environmentalists, and would probably not buy one even if their very lives depended on it.
Which they might well do.

Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.

everything’s computer
Old rich guy like Biden probably has loads of nice, quality, antique guns.

You ruined my joke. I was going to say, “Antique guns, bought new.”

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup Truck has entered the chat.
205-kWh capacity battery [three times the size in a crossover], still gets only 275 miles [2023 version].
…yeah, we are a very dumb species and it’s good that we’re going to go extinct in WW3.
That truck weighs a whopping 10,000 lbs though.
I’m sure he’ll put a turbo diesel in it too
They’re trying the “buy EVs to own the libs” angle. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton….
I don’t think the MAGA Cult can even AFFORD electric vehicles, I mean, shit I know I can’t.
which is great, because it will increase the chance that tesla will go down and with that elon musk.
Eh…put a lift kit, USA flag wrap, and a smoke machine on the cyber truck and they’d double sales.
I don’t think the Venn diagram of “ev buyer” and “trump voter” is big enough to double sales.
