Tbf, I've probably bought a lot of cars from people like that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 06:42 11
- And many other things. The tweet doesn’t seem exactly unusual, just unwisely frank. Didn’t STers used to post group photos of women and pick their preferred one? -- nm* - mara Jun 12, 06:50 10
  - It’s a little false equivocal, but I do get your point. Musk’s post is full on Man Show, whereas Hot or Not feels a little less benign. However… - Qale Jun 12, 08:24
  - The Kochs are objectively worse and most of us probably buy products from one or more of the companies they own. - TWuG Jun 12, 07:23 6
    - other than rockets and nazi tweets, he only has one product -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 12, 07:39
    - Elon Musk is 10x more dangerous then the one surviving Koch brother imo. Hes quite literally Henry Ford / Charles Lindbergh reborn. -- nm* - Jovian Jun 12, 07:39 1
      - I'm not sure either's political influence lasted as long as their lives. - TWuG Jun 12, 07:51
    - this is fair-ish, though musk does a lot more press (and is covered a lot more in the press) than are the koches. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 12, 07:32
    - Heck, I still buy plastic and I think it’s basically poison. As a wise man once said, “Don’t you love what you got used to.” (Billy Strings) -- nm - mara Jun 12, 07:28 1
      - It's definitely a bit of an illusion of action. That individual choices are the best way to address large problems. - TWuG Jun 12, 07:33
  - mara, you are not supposed to bring up my past bad behavior when I am busy chastising someone else. Don't you know anything? :) -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 12, 06:57 1
    - Everyone starts where they are. :-) -- nm - mara Jun 12, 07:02
