Time to get Back to Work, enough with the LiberalFearMongering

hblodget Go lick a toilet Musk, when I replace my MB with electric it will not be a Tesla

lol Musk could have made the exact opposite argument and Trump would still have agreed. It's amusing to me that there are people who still talk about Trump as if he's even slightly more intelligent than the average mollusk.

It's true Tesla has really high safety standards. Isn't that saying that that high safety standard is required for all businesses that are going to be opened. Is he gonna supply all of them with all that safety gear(that goes above and beyond cdc recom) to all those businesses?

I'm sure when people hear the real story .... They'll see they have been misled by your news outlet😂

And who exactly thinks its cool to own or lease a Telsa?
