Adopting retrograde and conservative positions in many areas, giving free rein to fake news on X which he acquired in 2022 according to the sacrosanct principle of freedom of expression, Elon Musk is divisive. Particularly within the Teslaphile community.
Some Tesla drivers are now equipped with stickers indicating that the billionaire’s media outings are “not in their name” and that if they have consented to the purchase of a Tesla, for economic or climatic reasons among other things, they do not support Elon Musk’s statements. Stickers that they put on the body of their car: “I bought this car before I learned that Elon Musk was crazy,” one of them reads.
“Anti Elon Tesla club,” said another. “Don’t worry, I’m not crazy, unlike the manufacturer (Editor’s note: of this car),” said a fourth.
80 hours per week, zero pay, high IQ; here are the conditions of recruitment of Elon Musk: “I know how to eat 10 Oreos in one go”, jokes a tweet
Another is more subtle. “Elon ate my cat,” he asserts. He refers to the fact that, during the campaign, Donald Trump claimed, without evidence and falsely, that immigrants were eating the cats and dogs of Springfield residents. However, Elon Musk was born in South Africa. And immigrated irregularly – and therefore illegally – to the USA via Canada. At the time, Musk had obtained a student visa. But he abandoned his studies directly to found the start-up Zip2, which he sold for $300 million. However, the student visa prohibited him from working.
Not sure, however, that this will make the boss of Tesla bend. A few months ago, a wave of Tesla resales, by drivers disillusioned by the billionaire’s extremist excesses, took place. This in no way prevented the businessman from continuing his very right turn. And even to be reinforced in his convictions by Donald Trump, who has just promised him a ministerial post in his future government.
