All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.

If it weren't for double standards, he'd have no standards at all.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

And neither would the fanbois

His fanboys are mostly reich-wingers nowadays, and they're completely impervious to reality-based arguments

Don't forget that they are smug thinking they are saving the planet

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure how many diehard Musk / Tesla fans even believe in climate change

[–] badaboomxx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

You ate correct, but they won't waste any chance to be smug

EVs exist to save the auto motive industry, not the planet

They won’t. His fanboys will find an excuse for his shitty behavior like they always do.

It’s like hoping flat earthers would suddenly come to their senses once they see the evidence. They won’t. They would find some other shitty excuse for their stupid belief.

Edit: stupid autocorrect. lol.

I do believe that flat feathers exists somewhere on this pale blue dot / sphere of a world. But methinks you accidentally added an "f" to eathers and don't mean to talk about feathers.

Each time he pulls shit like this, more people see the light about him. This one is going to disproportionately affect people who either still like him or just thought that they could own a Tesla without being affected by his stupid shit. It might hurt the stock price as some come to understand that his Twitter feuding can boil over to his other companies. Today might be the best time to exit a Tesla position (or maybe that's just wishful thinking).
