People don’t have to interact with Elon when buying a Tesla. They do have to interact with dealers when buying another car. It’s not surprising so many people chose Tesla.

Also Russia is spending so much money in Ukraine which means they hav less money to fuck with elections. I have seen talk of republican campaigns having serious funding problems now. Hmm why might that be? Russia has been incredibly effective at funding disinformation and promoting right wing fascist candidates compared to what they have spent.
