I'm his customer base. I have solar panels on my roof and a Tesla on my drive. And I LOVE that Musk defends freedom of expression. I LOVE that he defends free market economics and border control. I assure you I am MORE likely to buy a Tesla because of Musk. We can do better than pigeonhole all EV customers into a single political tribe.

  Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. We ban accounts that post like this, so I need to ask you to stop. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Wouldn't a free market for labor eschew any kind of border control? What do you think Musk cares most about - the nationality of the workers who assemble a Tesla, or the cost of their labor?

> And I LOVE that Musk defends freedom of expression. As long as that expression is in line with his values and doesn't criticize him? That isn't "free" speech he's defending.

  Right, he has definitely removed and shadow-banned reporters who put up things that he didn't like, while Chinese and Russian blue check propaganda accounts spam Twitter with hundreds of tweets and retweets every day PER account.

  Yeah when he removes accurate community notes on his own tweets, that's not exactly promoting freedom of expression.

I think you can recognize that OP was talking about the 80% of his customers who buy EVs because they are green friendly or tech geeks, and not 20% who buy because they like Musk

Yes, but the problem for Elon is that the people like you in the intersection of all those sets is rather small.

  It’s useful to know how the site moderators view my comments, and how this might influence their behaviour against my user account. Thank you for admitting this. I will be more wary of this site than I already was.
