Honestly I view Teslas with these sorts of stickers as even worse than not having them, because Musk was always this bad.
An "I didn't know and now I regret it" sticker would garner much more sympathy from me.
Your memory is faulty. Musk "was" a visionary savant that tried to advance humanity by making EV mainstream and advancing the mars mission. The facade dropped recently
Edit because people will mention it. Yes musk was always shitty and Its doubtful that he deserves credit for any of his ventures. But most people didn't realize that until at least 2022.
July 16, 2018. That's when Musk called that rescue work a pedophilia.
That's when his antics couldn't be hand waved as eccentric or trolling. The rumors that he was a shitty boss weren't back up yet, he was still pro-LGBT and he had renewed public interest in space travel after the shuttles were retired.
I agree with lengau too. He's always been a grifter, claiming other people's achievements as his own, implementing unsafe practices in his factories, union busting, etc...
It wasn't very easy to see without paying close attention to him though. And who was paying close attention to him at the time?
I got into an argument over it with people in 2016-2017.
He was always this bad and I've been warning people about him for a decade or more. That's the point - own the fact that you were ignorant rather than pretending this was some sort of change in him.
Well, it probably means the latter, just that the person probably didn't know of the political situation back then.
It means people were to ignorant or too dumb to notice some clearly huge red flags Elon was a nazi scam artist.
