Following Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign announcement, users on Elon Musk's platform, X (formerly Twitter), discovered they were unable to follow the vice president's political campaign account.
We’re doing a solar install and we refused Tesla batteries solely because of Musk. I won’t have his shit in my driveway, powering my home, or in my social usage. He’s fucking cancer.
He is, but be fair to Tesla, he just makes money off them. He was forced out years ago and is just a majority stakeholder. It is hollow solace considering he does still get a big vote, but he does not run anything anymore. Same as PayPal.
I wanted a Tesla, like really wanted a Tesla. I couldn’t afford it. Now I can, and there is no way in hell I would buy one because of his dumbass. If he was kicked out, I’d buy one that same day.
Unless he were also forced to divest all his shares in the company though, he’d still profit if the company’s stock price continued to grow after his departure. Not likely given how much sway his involvement seems to have on its value in the minds of Tesla shareholders, but still a possibility.
Another more technical reason to refuse Tesla batteries is that they will refuse to instrument your power bank down to the individual battery component - they will only give you data on the entire array. So, if you are interested in maintain peak capacity by swapping out sketchy cells, they literally prevent you from doing that with anything other than a multimeter.
I despise the fact that I’m forced to pay one of his companies for internet service.

Thanks for doing your part. Who did you use as an alternative?
If you’re looking for battery backup, I’ve been eyeing generac for a while. I can’t attest to their quality as I’ve yet to pull the trigger though.
They seem to work well with solar for offsetting usage at night.

Bro. He’s on the BoD.

I really wanted one but couldn’t afford it. Then I was able to and did. Then the Elon shit hit the fan, and now I’m stuck with a dick mobile.
I looked at trading it in for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or something else, but I would be out thousands if I did
