Musk and Tesla could have dominated the US EV market for years to come had he stuck with the core clean energy message and not surrounded himself with sycophants and publicly acted like a racist jerk. It’s like a modern retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes.

Not the US but most EV markets, apart from maybe eventually asian markets. Tesla and Musk had a crazy amount of goodwill and pretty much everyone I know was ”oh look, it’s a Tesla!” early on. Now every is more like ”oh look, it’s a Tesla..”

I used to shout from the rooftops how the EV revolution was here, all because of the visionary Elon Musk. Needless to say, something I deeply regret.

And now all these tesla folks will buy the next cool thing and continue the cycle.. We got them again!
