My friend’s father bought a 2025 Tesla after my friend begged him not to, but a boomer’s gotta boomer. Suffice to say, it hasn’t gone well for him, so the man went and put this decal on his car. My brother in Christ, you are driving a freshly redesigned car. Nobody is going to believe your swastikar is pre-COVID.

    He took all the credit for Tesla and sued the guys that started the company so that only his name was attached to it. I remember reading about the Lotus based Tesla before I knew about him.

    The original creators of the Tesla car were engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who founded Tesla Motors in 2003. While they were the company’s founders, Elon Musk became the company’s first major investor in 2004 and was later granted co-founder status after a lawsuit settlement, which also included other early executives like J.B. Straubel and Ian Wright.

      Yup, that’s how he operates. Major red flag imo. But many people think he just went crazy when he did the Hitler salute. His entire track record consists of failure, lies, crimes, narcissism, etc. Elon probably went crazy when he got hit by his dad a lot as a kid.
