    They also have an increased chance of someone painting a dick on them, for recent reasons.

    Ah, the ideal decoration for a swasticar!

    Another fun fact to throw into the mix: to date, the Cybertruck has sold in fewer numbers than Sir Clive's C5.

    To be fair, the C5 does offer much more headroom than the cybertruck. A key USP.

    Elon has descended into being one of the most deplorable people on the planet, but a good chunk of you are carrying around apple products made using quasi slave labor and Steve Jobs didn't even try to hide how much of an a$shole he was.

    Just sayin'

    I'm not¹, and Steve Jobs has the double benefit of: a) not being a Nazi and 2) being dead.

    Here's hoping Pedo Guy can achieve the same lofty heights!

    1: I'm carrying around a Motorola product made using quasi-slave labour. Totally different thing.

    At least Jobs did everyone the courtesy of dying.

    Also jobs didn't try to take over the us govt, wasn't [at least outwardly] an apartheid-nostalgic nazi ****wit, didn't turn his company's stock into a meme stock totally disconnected with reality and so on and so on...

    EDIT: @Gareth Halfacree and his professional typing fingers beat me to it

    Thinking of C5s, here's the back end of one with a little extra zip!

    Unlike @Gareth Halfacree, I am carrying around Apple devices - in fact three of them on a daily basis - and yet I still feel no qualms.

    Show me a major phone manufacturer whose factories have fair and ethical employment practices similar to what we enjoy in the UK/EU (shorter working weeks, no back-to-back shifts, etc), and I will show you a product that no one will want to buy because it costs too much.

    And secondly, while Jobs was indeed a bellend, to my knowledge he didn't help install any puppet fascist dictators into arguably the most powerful office in the world by basically buying an election.

    Elon Musk's Darkest Timeline is not recent. It's nearly 8 years to the day since he called someone trying to rescue children a paedophile. It has been nearly twenty years since he bought his way into Tesla and forced out the original founders out.

    Just sayin'.

    I don't know how much credit I'd give hime for that - I think a lot was down Project 2025 and the efforts to subvert the electoral college system, although I'd happily give him credit if he was ever to see justice and that be the final nail in his coffin.

    He helped fund the “America PAC”, which in total spent over $200 million. He was also the sole source of funding for the “RGB PAC”, to which there was a single donation of $20.5 million. His involvement in America PAC was widely known, but his backing of RGB PAC wasn’t made public until after the election because it was set up so close to election day.

    Musk didn’t fund Trump’s election campaign alone, but he undeniably poured a significant amount of money into it.

    I was merely making some social commentary. I think everything seems to be trending towards enshittification and we are all opening our collective wallets to fund it because the underlying product is sufficiently good that we can't help but look the other way.
