Lmfao ..how the times have changed. Just a few years ago, conservatives would have been cheering on the collapse of Tesla, maybe even suggesting that key fobs be replaced with coal lumps for authenticity. Back then, EVs were the enemy—symbolic of government overreach, environmental alarmism, and everything wrong with Silicon Valley’s utopian fantasies.
But now? Now, some of the loudest right-wing voices are suddenly defenders of Tesla, hailing it as a beacon of free-market innovation. Why? Because Elon Musk started tweeting the right things. Suddenly, the same crowd that once mocked electric cars as glorified golf carts is singing hymns about "free speech" while plugging their Teslas into the wall at night.
It's a fascinating shift. The same people who would have laughed at someone keying a Prius now see a scratched Tesla as an attack on Western civilization. Who knew loyalty was just one billionaire’s political alignment away?
