They’re both raging douchebag sociopaths who should have been swallowed by their respective mothers rather than being born?

That's good, I thought they were both the proper use case for really late term abortions

If you fuck up the first, fix it with the second.

They both claim credit for creating things other people did?

They both ruined Twitter?

Both have children they ignore?

The thing is, Tesla's biggest market risk is Elon himself. He's making the brand toxic to what was its core audience.

Yup. I'll never buy a Tesla. Not only because Leon is the CEO, but other automakers make better electric cars now.

Deello@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

I'd argue that the thing that gave Tesla their advantage over other electric cars was their charging network and that's no longer Tesla exclusive. Then again I've never driven or owned an electric car.

They both love Arby’s?

Asafum@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 1y

Did they always both want that or only after Elon bought him?
