All his fanboys should be absolutely shitting bricks about this since Elon has been out there for years saying that people who purchase Tesla vehicles absolutely own them. He's been spouting this bullshit since they got caught remotely crippling software features YEARS ago, but this is further proof Tesla owners are completely at the whim of a tyrannical douchebag who decides if you get the privilege of using something you paid for the way you want.
They won’t. His fanboys will find an excuse for his shitty behavior like they always do.
It’s like hoping flat earthers would suddenly come to their senses once they see the evidence. They won’t. They would find some other shitty excuse for their stupid belief.
I do believe that flat feathers exists somewhere on this pale blue dot / sphere of a world. But methinks you accidentally added an "f" to eathers and don't mean to talk about feathers.
I would guess that 80-90% of owners are ignorant (some willfully), or try to separate the man from the company, and not just unrepentant fanboys/girls
But yeah, agree on the fanboy thing. SpaceX too (which personally I find extra unfortunate since they've done some REALLY good things in the LEO launch market and space stuff in general).
I'm not even remotely a fan of the guy at this point, but from everything I've read, a lot of it was actually because of him.
Tesla too.
But also a lot of the negative parts of those companies, and failures. And at the Boring Company. And TwitX, etc.
Whatever contributions he's made are rapidly evaporating, though. He had plenty of problems 1015 years ago, but the last 5 have been a massive, rapid slide in his contributions, reputation, etc.
Ah yes that must be why SpaceX employs multiple professional handlers whose responsibility it is to distract manchild Mosk with shiny bits whenever he gets close to making an actual decision
Each time he pulls shit like this, more people see the light about him. This one is going to disproportionately affect people who either still like him or just thought that they could own a Tesla without being affected by his stupid shit. It might hurt the stock price as some come to understand that his Twitter feuding can boil over to his other companies. Today might be the best time to exit a Tesla position (or maybe that's just wishful thinking).
