Only because we no longer have an attention span.

Did those that downvote even read the article?

Shit is valid and you and your reactionary ear-plugging is this problem.

Well, I guess we'll still end first

I wish I was the Mothman.

Wasn't aware. I think that's a great idea, honestly. Keep yourself safe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's totally fair. My apologies for my ignorance.

That's fair. I fully acknowledge my limited scope/understanding and bias.

I wish we lived in a better world with better intentioned people overall. It's easy to focus on Elon Musk because he's the biggest/loudest dragon, hoarding the most gold. There are others just like him everywhere. It's depressing and overwhelming.

I'm not a fan of cars in general, but understand their necessity in plenty of situations. EVs have great potential, but need good-intentioned engineers with plenty of oversight to safely fuel their development. I'm sure these companies have some brilliant scientific minds in there and they should be allowed to usher in a new age of invention, not limited by the bottom line of vampiric shareholders and the egos of CEOs. It's just so sad.

Good point. I'm not sure. It may be that we're (I'm) hearing more about Teslas catching fire because they're the largest distributor in the US (and I live here). However, they're not the largest in the world and I haven't heard of this problem happening with other EVs (though they may be).

Regardless, Elon Musk is a pompous charlatan and defrauder that deserves much worse than he'll ever get. Bias be damned.
