Elon Musk

It can’t be that hard, or are we doomed to being manipulated by man child after man child?

The sad reality seems to be that there are a lot of people out there who are angry about life in one way or another – often with good reason – but who suffer from a sufficient degree of cognitive laziness, or apathy, to render them incapable of working their way to coherent answers. It’s not defined by class or creed, and it’s a phenomenon being intensified by our collective addiction to social media.

Has Musk been brave enough to travel into space on one of his own rockets?

Be a shame should it blow up in outer space or developed a malfunction which sent him hurtling off into deep space…

I binned twitter a few months back and couldn’t even be arsed to look at Tesla when I bought my EV, just can’t bring myself to buy his products. However……about 2% of my pension fund is in Tesla stocks which I hate but I cannot bin them unless I change my whole fund.

I’d say that extends to buying/leasing a Tesla or using Starlink.

i agree with this.  I truly despise the fact I have to use Starlink – there’s simply no alternative where we live (bt estimated 3mbps,  via overhead wires, in the middle of a forest). We’ve the opportunity for some community funding for a fibre link if I can get everyone in the hamlet to sign up, if that comes off then SStarlink goes in the bin straight away.

In my small circle I know one Tesla driver who is selling and will not have another, despite thinking the car is great and cheaper than equivalent alternatives, also a bunch of others like me who simply would no longer contemplate. Boycotting is the only way to really express effective disapproval – and live with your own decisions. These cars are luxury choices, not necessities. It’s not much to ask, of yourself or others. What’s he going to do with your money? The evidence is clear.
