Has he though?

[–] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not from what I can tell, maybe a little teeny bit but nothing meaningful

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's what I'm thinking too. They only like him because of his bs on Twitter. Maybe they're the ones that bought the N64 Truck?

[–] cryptiod137@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Yeah, and even then a lot of them remember being browbeaten about his stuff and are still not fans.

Even worse there are some lefties I know who still defend him now for what he "did" back then

This is where I think capitalism might actually work by virtue of its own perversions. As the conscientious progressives abandon him, he's going to have to shill even harder to conservatives to try to tap into that market. If some asshole can get MAGAs to buy into renewables, I'm just going to sit back and let it happen.

Thanks I hate this, but you're absolutely right.

solar

Anon bought it

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

He's managed to sell some of the richest of them gaudy overpriced electric vehicles, but not enough to make an environmental impact and not for the right reasons.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 102 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They wouldn't touch Elon until they found out he was a bigoted fascist. Then they flocked to him. Conservatives are pure garbage.

[–] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And they still don’t buy his products.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey look at this!

I have something in common with pro Trump conservatives!

[–] Anti_Iridium@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We have more in common than separates us!

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Exactly. For instance neither of us trust Musk enough to buy his products.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Smart people don't buy cybertrucks.

I don't know, by the number of cyber trucks I'm seeing with don't tread on me license plates... I'm wondering if that's true.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Cybertrucks are new and stand out appearance wise. Don't let visibility bias make you think they're doing well.

[–] Goun@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Oh, no no, they're not required to put that "don't tread on me" plate, we already know they're all ancaps

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 44 points 10 months ago

Clown to clown communication

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 40 points 10 months ago

schwarzenegger sold that shit to conservatives.

musk once again taking credit for doing fuck-none.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He didn't though.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Eh. I live in a well off TN county and Teslas didn't show up outside of Nashville until he started going mask off.

So, the rural conservatives? No. The people conservative leadership actually cares about, yes.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I'll believe it when I see cyber trucks replace F150s.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

By being a bigot

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Money.

Final answer.

Edit: 🤞just in case, but I’m pretty confident in my answer.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Are we forgetting 4patriots.com?

Keyword being sell. He didn’t get the government to force it on conservatives. He made excellent products that people want to buy.

The Art of the Deal, not The Art of Shoving Shit Down People’s Throats.

[–] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 months ago

“He made” - ahahahahahaha

“Excellent products” - AHAHAHAHAHA

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

That's funny. I remember having both shoved down my throat via ridiculous subsidy.

Of course, now he's changed his tune since Tesla is established, and wants subsidies removed. Gotta pull up that ladder behind you to prevent competition.

[–] immutable@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Did I miss a time when the government forced me to put solar panels on my house or an electric car in my garage.

I mean I’d sorta like solar panels and they are expensive so if the government will “force me” to put them up I’ll valiantly take that bullet.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

He "made" a truck with no bed space and will snap if you hitch something to it. The only people buying them are making political statements.
