    Honestly there are enough non-critical thinking reactionaries these days that would rush out to buy Teslas the moment they heard they could upset someone on the other side for doing it that the impact to sapes might not be as high as you would hope and the increase to service requests for Teslas would probably generate a lot of revenue as paint and tire replacements tend to be way higher on lrofit margins than you think

      There aren’t even close to enough of them. They’re not going to trade in their Ford F-900 for a “wimpy, girly” Tesla no matter what Musk does. They’d much rather be seen as manly and tough than backing Musk. He doesn’t have the cult leader following like Trump does.

        Mmmm maybe… I know that honestly his right wing pushes in policy have impacted sales but I wonder if it would be enough to actually tip any scale or just be a rounding error that gets people fired and jobs compressed to save more money
