Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Elon is getting the media to downplay his naziism by letting everybody know that the drugs made him do it. 30 days in rehab and BOOM those chiseled trucks will start selling again.
No one's buying those things ever. Maybe if dumb emerald boy managed to somehow recover his image from being a nazi the cars would sell again. But the trucks fucking suck shit on literally every metric. He produced the Homer and he's gonna tank the company with it.
I live in rural Canada. It's truck country. Like, every second vehicle. No one here would have been caught dead in a cyber truck BEFORE his shenanigans. I remember showing my family the concept photos and they reacted, poorly. There is no fucking way those sales go up.
I'm 100% certain that people who actually use trucks for their intended purpose were not the target demographic -- it was rich kids who wanted a cool tech toy, while also playing dressup with the "labourer" aesthetic.
Yep. Monied tech bros from the bay area & etc was always the target demographic. It was never expected to sell to actual workers.
Unfortunately it seems the overlap between nazis and tech bros wasn't as high as he thought
😐
Haha, but I know what you meant.
I'm not sure why they haven't started stripping these things for parts yet. I can't imagine anyone at the company expects to move the current stock
Elon never needed the media to downplay anything.
the media wanted Donald Trump and his band of misfits in the White House.
I'm 41, I can't remember a time when the media wasn't carrying Trumps water.
The reporting on Trump and the current batch of Republicans is God awful.
I mean you have an entire political party touting the need for "fiscal responsibility" release a budget that increases the deficit?! How are they not being ridiculed for it?
