Looking it up to be sure: The Tham Luang cave rescue happened in mid-2018, but the CyberTruck concept was unveiled in late 2019. So Leon had already outed himself as a full-tilt narcissistic lunatic more than a year before it was even announced.
To be fair, which I dont think we need to be, just having a narcissistic lunatic at the helm doesnt really make Tesla worse than any other auto manufacturer from an ethics point of view. If you are forced to buy a car, I dont think there is a morally spotless company to purchase from. No ethical consumption under capitalism and whatnot.
I would argue that elons assaults on democracy and other craziness over the past few years has pushed Tesla into a category of “worse than all other manufacturers”, but maybe not in 2019?
“I bought this before, I, personally, was aware of the extent of his derangement, and I figured that an electric vehicle from a relatively new company was the least of a whole bunch of evils. Plus, there were some nice subsidies at the time.”
that is a good point in time of clearly has lost it. I mean the hyperloop was pretty redic but drilling and boring are very useful things so I think at that point I might have still been giving the benefit of the doubt but yeah the wierd calling the guy a pedo which on hindsite makes me think elan was pretty tight with epstein or something.

To remove ambiguity, the sticker should probably say, “I bought this before Elon went Nazi”?
