"Musk is massively disingenuous and rather insulting to our intelligence. But he's a heck of a salesman " Agree. And makes you wonder a bit about the marketing materials surrounding these cars, huh? He's trying to make as if he's acting in the best interest of the people of the state of NJ. When it is very clear that his motivation is his own interests and selling his car. And making more money for himself. Most businesses don't make it that obvious. Another word I will use is immature. His argument sounds like a spoiled kid who doesn't get what he wants and is going to call out the teacher at school hoping to berate them into just caving in. [1] Real life doesn't work that way. Not to mention the fact that there simply aren't enough people in NJ [2] that care about buying a Tesla to protest and make change on this. [1] "Hey great argument no I don't mind if you insulted me because you are right!". [2] Guess what? In Pennsylvania there are many more people that don't want to buy liquor at state stores (which they have to) and that hasn't changed yet.

> When it is very clear that his motivation is his own interests and selling his car. And making more money for himself. Most businesses don't make it that obvious. You cannot possibly be saying that with a straight face. Pretty sure Musk has the high road rather solidly booked all to himself when it comes to his credibility concerning trying to change things for the better when you compare him to any other auto corp.

I don't see how these goals are mutually exclusive. And saying that he wants to sell his car is falling into the realm of ridiculously obvious. Most businesses don't make it that obvious. Really? Most business make merely a token effort at pretending every action they take isn't just about the bottom line. I don't see how pandering to customers makes one business any 'better' than another.

What is amazing to me about your comment is that you have harsh words for Musk without any defense whatsoever of why the law is just. What is "immature" about calling out a stupid and corrupt law?
