Fox news segment tomorrow: "Why electric cars are the future and how the liberals are trying to keep them from you."

I'm not looking forward to seeing Cybertrucks with Trump and MAGA flags.

Worst EV on market but still an EV. How can you not be looking forward to it

Worst EV on market

That's how.

F100 it is then

Elon also permanently deleted this image from the internet forever

See, Totally Deleted

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that real?

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Yes. I think I searched Elon Musk Picture Deleted Forever or something. I'm sure reverse image search would also work

He's just putting himself in the shop window. Democracy at its best.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

The bestest reasons.
The bigliest rationale.

The weirdest of the weird.

Translation: he'll be very much against electric vehicles the next time he and Musk have a falling-out.

Wasn't musk on his advisor committee when he first got elected? And then musk got pissy about something and left.

[–] burble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Of all the things to quit over, this is a pretty solid one. Now, whether or not that's the same guy we see today...

Elon Musk is stepping away from his roles on two of Donald Trump’s advisory councils following the president’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.

I don't know how his cult takes him seriously.

He says one thing to one group, another thing to another group, and they just go, "Yeah Trump!"

Weird.

[–] butter@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

In other news, the rich run the country?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's all it takes. Huh? Okay, I strongly support Trump, dropping out of the race.

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Think he means money. He was given lots of money.

He works the same way as the SCOTUS

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

I knew it. This whole Musk/Twitter thing is all a giant ploy to get conservatives to accept EVs. /s

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I wonder what his dancing buddies in SA think of this

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

what does elon musk have to do with electronic vehicles?
