They've probably had more recalls on the cyber truck than they've had sales of the cyber truck

A more concise headline is "Nobody wants a Swastikar"

Will he really need customers much longer? I mean it seems like he can just have any government agency replace their fleet with his trash in the name of "efficiency".

Pretty soon the only government workers left will be Trumpler's goons. I'm ok with them dying in swastikars.

Even worse is, he can use the government to sabotage the competition, as Russia and Hungary did.

It is mental that a man worth billions in mostly electric car companyv shares is courting people who would run their cars on coal if they could.

A man who has made his billions on being essentially a corporate welfare queen.

Nobody at Tesla headquarters voted to alienate their customer base. No board meeting decided to turn their electric car company into a political lightning rod.

This is technically not true. The board keeps Elon Musk on as CEO of Tesla, and they granted him the biggest bonus package ever, while he was already very controversial and clearly was losing his mind, because they thought he would be able to make them money.

You're right, that's not just technically untrue. The board voted with their wallet, by giving him even more money than ever, so he could continue doing what he is doing. The people on the board wouldn't give a shit if only Nazis buy their cars, as long as there's enough of them to keep buying.
