He needs to be cruel to liberals to sell electric cars to conservatives. It has worked brilliantly up to now. I am also a SpaceX fan, and a fan of electric vehicles, but my distaste for the 'cruelty is the point' culture is starting to outweigh that.
- kmeisthax 4y agoGiven that the biggest grumbles coming out of conservatives is that they think Biden raised gas prices to make them buy electric vehicles, I don't see them lining up to buy Teslas anytime soon no matter how many Twitter liberals Musk puts in harms way.
- LastTrain 4y agoYou are explaining exactly why Musk has to do what he does to sell cars to conservatives. There is a huge amount of culture-wars baggage like what you describe that he must drill through to get them to even consider an EV. Being unabashedly cruel to liberals is the way. Liberals already buy his cars, because they are at this point in time the best EVs on the market - once that changes you will see a change in tone from Musk.
