I don't think Elon is wrong. I went back stateside this summer after being away since 2020, and there were Tesla cars everywhere. My daughter and I made a joke about seeing a cyber truck in the wild thinking it wouldn't happen, and we ended up seeing 3 of them.
I think most people don't care about politics, and just want a decent EV. There is an old Mark Twain quote about someone who doesn't read the news being uninformed, while the person reading the news is misinformed. I think in todays day and age, ignorance is bliss and uninformed may be the smarter option for your long term health.
imo if you want a functioning democracy most people should be informed of the events happening around them
Which do you think? Useful idiot or foreign actor?
