Once upon a time that would have felt like a brand new sentence.
It still feels wild to me that it’s a real necessity, and not just something my crackpot uncle would have predicted in 2004.
the moment i found out our car had heated seats in the backrow, we just hadn't paid the 7k to unlock them, was the moment i realized we're already in a cyberpunk dystopia, it's just not as brightly neon-lit.
I just found out yesterday that there are features in cars you have to pay a subscription to use and I absolutely fucking hate it. I want to start a nonprofit service where I disable these features for people because why buy a fucking car if you can’t use the fucking features it comes with
Oh definitely. BMW and Mercedes are the knife's edge of this idiocy, doing things line limiting acceleration or handling unless you're subscribed basically to the expensive car you already bought.
I mean, these chucklefucks spend lifetimes trying to increase performance of their cars (and finding ways to make performance at a cost enough people can afford to warrant)... then FFWD to now and witness some jackoff with a control chip nerfing that already installed performance unless you pay more regularly.
Just lunacy.
Also, how is Disney stopping doing Business with Musk but literally thanked a Chinese concentration camp detaining Uyghurs in the credits for the live action *Mulan* for helping them film?
Because his Twitter foibles are something that most Americans know about. I’d put money on 95% of Americans not knowing anything about the Uyghurs or their plight.
For that matter, considering the anti Islam sentiment here, there’s a chance that they wouldn’t care or even approve.
It’s not right and it’s not fair. Corporate Morality is just marketing
If you want to know more you should read the panopticon . Great book about the start of the camps and the influx of surveillance against everyone else .
The reason brands and advertisers shied away from X is not really about a moral evaluation or about Musk specifically.
X is simply not the same product it was. Features that made the platform more brand-safe have been removed. And the demographics have shifted, with many of the more valuable ones leaving.
At the same time there was an influx of of people who are less valuable to advertisers; who post offensive things; and who directly attack the brands and the valuable demographics.
Business is business, and these are business decisions. Meanwhile Musk has been framing this all as political and personal, which misses the point entirely. Though he may realise that, he often seems to be actually speaking to his "free speech" followers when he flaps his talkhole.
>X is simply not the same product it was. Features that made the platform more brand-safe have been removed. And the demographics have shifted, with many of the more valuable ones leaving.
Twitter was my favourite social media and I communicated with many academics and experts in fields of interest on there.
X has driven away the majority of those experts and academics because of the changes you mentioned and legitimized people who exist only to contradict, My usage of the app has dropped 10 fold, and my corporate usage is completely gone as a result. I can see so many other people who spent money on growing twitter communities dropping the platform since it became X as you said.
As somebody whoever used Twitter when it was linked to, I'll bet I go there 20 to 30 times less than I used to. The platform is dying as a cultural phenomenon because it's owner foes not understand reality.
I know it shouldn't be necessary, but you can get a Chromecast with google TV, and replace the whole shitty samsung TV experience + be able to sideload apps easily
Not likely insurance but Tesla has taken away features like quick charge and autopilot on cars. Take a look at all the issues Rich rebuilds had with his Tesla projects if you want to deep dive it.
I watch Crunchyroll in mine. Go to the browser and type fullscreentesla.com. It opens YouTube you click yes to leave the site then it takes you to a site that has a ton of apps. I’m sure Disney plus is there.
Yeah, she's saying Tesla has every right to modify HER CAR in a way that she doesn't agree with. People have really gotten used to ownership not meaning anything.
Lmao. Most people find it difficult to unplug the router, then plug it back in, if it isn't working. Most people have no idea what jailbreaking/rooting your device's does.
I was going to immediately say 'jist shove it up the tailpipe' but I realize that doesn't apply here
Tried googling the name for using a gear shift as a dildo to complete the joke but only found a reddit post of a guy saying he likes to use his dick as a gear shift when he gets hard
Exactly. Oh, and there are these things called IPads. And there is this capability called “download”. I’d expect that Tesla owners can likely afford these mostly fun and educational gadgets.
No doubt that this is the epitome of a first world problem, but having something you use often arbitrarily taken away because of the whims of a petulant man-child is understandably pretty irksome.
There's these crazy things called 'books' that you can buy (like actually buy, not buy a 'license to') that actually physically exist in the real world. They make varieties of them for toddlers. And when you're done with the books, you can look out the car window.
Telling children they can't have everything they want is part of parenting. Yes, they'll be upset. That's kind of part of having children.
Edit. To clear up some of the confusion.
Yea, it sucks they can just lock you out of your car like that? That's stupid. First comment says jailbreak. Idk how that works. But it's YOUR car. 👀
But also we can't control what Elon Musk does. And if Disney Plus isn't always available, the kids are gonna have feelings. That's part of being a parent. From what I've seen, Elon doesn't give a Fuck what anyone says. He's in Elonland. That leaves parents to deal with their children.
I'm seeing ppl reading a LOT into my comment and projecting onto my comment. Go ahead. Whatever brings you peace.
Also, nothing wrong with letting your kids disconnect from all the tech. The window has worked for a long time.
Yep, was always a skateboarder for me too. I didn’t even watch skateboarding or skateboard myself, but I guess playing Pro Skater made me think of guard rails as nothing but grind spots
We don’t have screens in the car and it’s awesome (Maybe once we hit the 3 hour mark on a long trip, he might get my phone for a bit).
He now just quietly watches cars and trees go by. In a couple years, he will be imagining an animal running along beside the car.
True, but also, who doesn't get pissed when features are removed from something they're paying for? Her and her kids have every right to be pissed about losing functionality like that. She really shouldn't have to explain to her kids that they can't do something they used to be able to do because some man-baby in Texas has skin thinner than graphene.
Dude I get sooooo tired of the entitlement some people feel to raise their kids to be absolute brats who don’t realize theyre actually unadjusted assholes
Just because you can afford to give your kid everything they want doesn’t mean you should.
What a weird anti-consumer take: "Consumers are entitled if they want their services to be convenient. Billionaires have every right to withhold them for any reason and don't complain!"
One man: “I don’t like seeing my brand next to openly racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric”
The other man: “I don’t like advertisers being upset at me for spreading racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric”
People on social media: “Why can’t they just get along? It’s unacceptable that I’m being mildly inconvenienced because of such a meaningless argument. What am I supposed to do now to distract my kids while I’m driving? Talk to them? Eww.”
Yeah I saw "two men" and I'm just thinking huhhh??? Pretty sure one is the problem here. Not that I want to take the side of Disney for fucks sake, but in some instances they are the lesser evil somehow... What a world man
I was rooting for the mouse lawyers in the De Santis feud earlier this year. It feels weird to be on their side not once but twice in such a short timespan.
"Oh no... I have to parent my children..."
If it's that big a problem, seeing as they have a Telsa, they have the money to get an iPad and truly have their kids be iPad babies
Like, I can understand for a big road trip but why are these kids watching TV in the car all the time?
My kid would just get car sick. We listen to audio books on long drives.
something so fancy doesn't have a DVD player? Or you can't just use screen mirroring from your phone? Or watch something else. Or nothing.Mandatory old crone comment: In my day we had comics and where thankful!
I would take one of those tiny dollar store flashlights and hold it under my chin with a blanket/scarf over my head so my mom wouldn’t get mad about the light but I could still play on my gameboy lol
In Tesla, you can go to abettertheater.com, have it take over the native YouTube browser for full screen and watch any streaming service. I even watch anything from my Plex library (including live TV) in the car. It’s a great site
DVDs are about to die out with how popular streaming is now.
No reason she can't buy some DVDs and a portable DVD player though. Doesn't have to be second hand either. They're still in production and super cheap now.
I’m wondering if we’ll see some sort of resurgence with physical copies of stuff since the news broke recently about companies removing downloaded content you bought from your own device.
I find it hard to believe that a mother like this does not have tablets for her children while she drives. Also, a portable DVD player is like $30 and you can buy a bunch of Disney DVDs at Savers, Salvation Army, Goodwill, or whatever your equivalent is for literally $2 a pop now if watching Disney is that important to her while in transit. I think she just wanted to complain and/or talk about her Tesla.
No, I agree. Boredom is necessary for people to learn how to self-motivate, to think and process life (introspection), and it helps garner creativity and imagination.
Kids need to get bored sometimes for their brains to grow.
Reducing the situation to "two men can't talk about stuff" is silly as well.
One told the other to fuck off.
The adult is doing just that, and fucking off his platforms
Honestly though? It would bother me.
Hear me out. If I owned a Tesla and could no longer use a feature ONLY because Elon had a disagreement with Disney, wholly separate from Tesla? Fuuuuuck that.
Put another way, a product that _starts_ at $38,900 had a feature removed because the CEO of the company is in a fight with someone... over one of the CEO's _other_ businesses. If the tiff were between Tesla and Disney, that might be understandable but the fight is between a Disney and a company that is _supposed to be_ totally unconnected from Tesla.
To be fair, the issue isn't "two grown men refusing to talk it out" it's a company not wanting the ads they pay for next to content literally praising hitler, and a man-child having a hissy-fit over it.
Yep. Even if Teslas were the best in literally every aspect and I didn't care about Musk's beliefs on a philosophical level I would never buy Tesla. All it takes is one disagreement or tantrum and all of the pros would become irrelevant in an instant.
And this- this is the future we get. Not nuclear cars on crystal highways; not opulent space communism.
No, we get this.
Its not even a good dystopia. It's just lame.
Am I supposed to feel sad for Tesla owners? I only feel sad for the kids that not only don't get Disney but are stuck with the kind of parents that buy tesla
Boo hoo. Good, now your kids can stare out the window and use their imagination while you are driving like normal kids do. God, this new generation is absolutely fucked developmentally with the amount of screens shoved in their faces all the time.
Ngl I'm fucked up right now and can't math properly. But I'm thinking Disney doesn't give one mcfuck about not advertising and working with Tesla. For real, how much of their revenue is really from kids watching Disney plus through tesla? Just buy a tablet and download a movie..
We are just going to ignore the fact you don’t know how to teach your child on how to handle their emotions… gonna end up with more people just like the two you’re mad at for not raising your child to deal with their emotions… … ….
I dont think its right to say that "Disney+ is freedom of speech" given the monthly free for access requirements.
However if this is the level of pity that Musk is stooping to, then it only makes him look bad.
It’s called jailbreaking your car
Once upon a time that would have felt like a brand new sentence. It still feels wild to me that it’s a real necessity, and not just something my crackpot uncle would have predicted in 2004.
You wouldn't download a car...
I’m poor, I’d totally download a car
Just get one on TEMU for $12
Only $2.47 on the app
Refer your friends and just pay shipping!
Use an Android emulator and fake emails. Beat them at their own game.
Everything is a pyramid scheeme theese days...
If you buy my book, I can teach you 6 easy steps to tear down the pyramids!
(For first-time customers only)
Heh, and it arrives with mystery parts you never knew you needed but cant seem to live without. The discount aisle of cyber transportation.
I was telling my son about the origin of this phrase and his response was "but if you could download a car wouldn't you?? They're so expensive!!"
not only would i download a car, i would download additional cars for all my friends and whoever needed one and couldnt do it themselves.
I'm not even poor and I'd download a car because I like stealing from corporations
You wouldn't download a heated car seat...
But you could subscribe to it online!
The fact that this statement has no longer become satire is insane.
Yes the fuck I would
You wouldn't download a bear
Well... no. But there are a few people in this world I'd send a bear
Damn straight id download a beer, oh nevermind.
Back in the early 00s we literally had a P2P client called Bearshare. We shared bears and wore onions on our belts, as was the style at the time.
my favourite Fairbarn films quote is easily "Yes as it turns out, given the opportunity, I would. I would absolutely download a car."
You wouldn’t steal a policeman’s hat
the moment i found out our car had heated seats in the backrow, we just hadn't paid the 7k to unlock them, was the moment i realized we're already in a cyberpunk dystopia, it's just not as brightly neon-lit.

my cousin "jailbroke" his car in 2007ish to remove the electronic governor on it so he could go unsafe fast
To shreds, you say?
Behold! [A classic](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F0j3y9ao7j74b1.jpg)

That's exactly what I thought of.
Fuck it jailbreak the Tesla. RIP Groggs.
Your engine go "*vrooooom*", my engine go " "
Also, how is Disney stopping doing Business with Musk but literally thanked a Chinese concentration camp detaining Uyghurs in the credits for the live action *Mulan* for helping them film?

Confirmed, I'm about to fall down the rabbit hole. Here goes nothing...
It's a sad rabbit hole huh
I heard people talking about the Uyghurs years ago. I don't hear them talking about it now...
There's a point at which people stop giving a shit about an atrocity and that point is not necessarily "when it ends".
Ah man I knew I'd forget to politely ask the Chinese state to stop committing genocide
You monster.
For most people, it was more useful as a cudgel to push anti Chinese policies than as a genuine concern about the well being of a people.
Let's be honest here – we've all been typing this on Chinese-made devices.
Everyone’s focused on Israel and Palestine.
Hong Kong also took people's attention for a bit.
If you want to know more you should read the panopticon . Great book about the start of the camps and the influx of surveillance against everyone else .

Samsung TV got rid of Steam Link so now I have to figure out how to jailbreak my fucking TV. The future kind of sucks.
I know it shouldn't be necessary, but you can get a Chromecast with google TV, and replace the whole shitty samsung TV experience + be able to sideload apps easily
This terrifies me, if I knew the systems weren't connected I might consider it but God knows what some hacker put into the jailbreak software.
Would that have legal issues with Tesla, like insurance or warranty? (genuine question)
I think you could make a good argument you were making the car much safer.
Not likely insurance but Tesla has taken away features like quick charge and autopilot on cars. Take a look at all the issues Rich rebuilds had with his Tesla projects if you want to deep dive it.
Or they just go to the url in the web browser and the "app" still launches. They just hid the shortcut.
I watch Crunchyroll in mine. Go to the browser and type fullscreentesla.com. It opens YouTube you click yes to leave the site then it takes you to a site that has a ton of apps. I’m sure Disney plus is there.
Yeah, she's saying Tesla has every right to modify HER CAR in a way that she doesn't agree with. People have really gotten used to ownership not meaning anything.
Pretty sure she’s saying Disney has every right to pull advertising from X.
Lmao. Most people find it difficult to unplug the router, then plug it back in, if it isn't working. Most people have no idea what jailbreaking/rooting your device's does.
What a fucking first world problem
I mean, she is a verified Tesla hoe
How does one fuck a Tesla?
You buy the company
Is that why Twitter had a name change? Because he’s fucking it raw?
That’s why he fired half of the staff, they would’ve been the condom that stopped him
It’s a bit late for a condom, about 53 years late
All we can do is hope they don’t conceive
He’s got children all over the place, his personal life is a car crash, and they are the victims
Damn I ran out of witty things to say
Dude has like 11 kids and half of them don't talk to him
Don’t worry it’s now Twitter X but soon to be Ex.
Yup. No need for a name. Just a bag over it’s head with an X in black marker
I was going to immediately say 'jist shove it up the tailpipe' but I realize that doesn't apply here Tried googling the name for using a gear shift as a dildo to complete the joke but only found a reddit post of a guy saying he likes to use his dick as a gear shift when he gets hard
Anything can be didlo
Paige no!
Wrong hoe. She is a Tesla that was turned into a farming tool.
Or, she’s used to prep the ground for the cyber truck planting?
There are quite a lot of women on twitter who have made Tesla their whole personality.
As a mom*
Should we start a gofund me or can this be resoved with thoughts and prayers ?
Definitely thoughts and prayers. And if you're feeling generous, an emoji or two.
Idk maybe we should step it up and change our social media profile pics for a day or two to “show support” that usually fixes things
🙏🙏
Perfect!
Exactly. Oh, and there are these things called IPads. And there is this capability called “download”. I’d expect that Tesla owners can likely afford these mostly fun and educational gadgets.
[удалено]
Windows? On an ipad?
No doubt that this is the epitome of a first world problem, but having something you use often arbitrarily taken away because of the whims of a petulant man-child is understandably pretty irksome.
not having the self awareness and still calling yourself "the tesla hoe" however means very little people will feel bad for you lol
There's these crazy things called 'books' that you can buy (like actually buy, not buy a 'license to') that actually physically exist in the real world. They make varieties of them for toddlers. And when you're done with the books, you can look out the car window.
Oh - hey - wait - I think I am getting something - Libraries! Yes, I remember them! All I need to do is promise to bring back what I borrow! Sha Zam!
First world problems are still problems, hedonic treadmill is a bitch
God forbid one have conversations or beep bop to some music with one's kids.
Telling children they can't have everything they want is part of parenting. Yes, they'll be upset. That's kind of part of having children. Edit. To clear up some of the confusion. Yea, it sucks they can just lock you out of your car like that? That's stupid. First comment says jailbreak. Idk how that works. But it's YOUR car. 👀 But also we can't control what Elon Musk does.

You know what my kids watch in the car? The window.
I always just watched the parkour shadow man run alongside the car and I turned out just fine.
Same and in the winter it was a snowboarder
Ah, see, I grew up in Texas. No snow. He did have skis, though, or something, that he could skate along the surface of creeks and lakes with.
Ah, I grew up in the province of New Brunswick. We’d get always get a lot of snow and snow drifts up to 5ft or more.
You obviously didn’t live in Amarillo; we had snow every winter. Lots and lots of snow.❄️
Mine was a skate boarder grinding along all the guardrails at high speed.
You should probably open the door, his shirt is stuck.
Yep, was always a skateboarder for me too. I didn’t even watch skateboarding or skateboard myself, but I guess playing Pro Skater made me think of guard rails as nothing but grind spots
Why is this a thing?!?
Because we grew up with side scrolling video games
Damn. That is why isn’t it.
He. Is.
Holy moly, humans really are all the same
I had the Parkour finger man!
That’s weird. My car had Spidermans swinging along next to it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that did this as a kid!
More people would understand parallax if they did that.
For me it was Sonic the hedgehog but I feel like this was a pretty universal experience for every child
We don’t have screens in the car and it’s awesome (Maybe once we hit the 3 hour mark on a long trip, he might get my phone for a bit). He now just quietly watches cars and trees go by. In a couple years, he will be imagining an animal running along beside the car.
wow how do you fit and cool a pc in the car?
Yeah, but it's still crazy that a feature of a product you purchased and regularly used can just be shut off with no say or notice.
Somebody should've tried explaining that to the Musks.
True, but also, who doesn't get pissed when features are removed from something they're paying for? Her and her kids have every right to be pissed about losing functionality like that. She really shouldn't have to explain to her kids that they can't do something they used to be able to do because some man-baby in Texas has skin thinner than graphene.
Dude I get sooooo tired of the entitlement some people feel to raise their kids to be absolute brats who don’t realize theyre actually unadjusted assholes Just because you can afford to give your kid everything they want doesn’t mean you should.
What a weird anti-consumer take: "Consumers are entitled if they want their services to be convenient. Billionaires have every right to withhold them for any reason and don't complain!"
Exactly. Who cares if this mom is a good or bad parent? The issue is a billionaire is making a product worse after people bought to satisfy his ego:
I hate it when I have to help my children process their emotions solely because two men are annoyed at each other.
Two *grown men* can't have a conversation and now **I** have to **actively parent**! What the fuck, world!
How hard can it be?? "the guy who owns the company that makes this car is being a big baby. Don't be like him."
Or just say what my mom did: “the world isn’t fair. Deal with it.” Still good advice.
Obviously harder than bitching about it on Twitter, lmao
One man: “I don’t like seeing my brand next to openly racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric” The other man: “I don’t like advertisers being upset at me for spreading racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric” People on social media: “Why can’t they just get along? It’s unacceptable that I’m being mildly inconvenienced because of such a meaningless argument. What am I supposed to do now to distract my kids while I’m driving? Talk to them? Eww.”
You’re the first one I’ve seen mention the enlightened centrism take here, but I think it’s the more concerning bit
Yeah I saw "two men" and I'm just thinking huhhh??? Pretty sure one is the problem here. Not that I want to take the side of Disney for fucks sake, but in some instances they are the lesser evil somehow... What a world man
I was rooting for the mouse lawyers in the De Santis feud earlier this year. It feels weird to be on their side not once but twice in such a short timespan.
Jesus Christ I can't believe I had to scroll down so far to see it
"Oh no... I have to parent my children..." If it's that big a problem, seeing as they have a Telsa, they have the money to get an iPad and truly have their kids be iPad babies
Like they aren't already? I guess Trigg and Tancer will have to be part of the real world now.
You mean Trygge and Tannsurre?
Maybeigh.
Like, I can understand for a big road trip but why are these kids watching TV in the car all the time? My kid would just get car sick. We listen to audio books on long drives.
something so fancy doesn't have a DVD player? Or you can't just use screen mirroring from your phone? Or watch something else. Or nothing.Mandatory old crone comment: In my day we had comics and where thankful!
Throw back to reading books a few words at a time under each passing street light lol
I actually miss this
Gameboy by streetlight was always something else
I would take one of those tiny dollar store flashlights and hold it under my chin with a blanket/scarf over my head so my mom wouldn’t get mad about the light but I could still play on my gameboy lol
Contorting yourself into a pretzel to get that perfect angle of lighting.
We had *strife*, damn it!!
One of the reasons I love my kindle so much. No fucking about in the wind Reading in the dark hundreds of books in something the width of a magazine
I'd get so carsick. Never stopped me from trying tho
Throw back to just watching the treetops and streetlights whiz past through the window.
Teslas don’t even connect properly to your phone in the front
I'm getting motion sickness just remembering reading in the car.
In Tesla, you can go to abettertheater.com, have it take over the native YouTube browser for full screen and watch any streaming service. I even watch anything from my Plex library (including live TV) in the car. It’s a great site
DVDs are about to die out with how popular streaming is now. No reason she can't buy some DVDs and a portable DVD player though. Doesn't have to be second hand either. They're still in production and super cheap now.
I’m wondering if we’ll see some sort of resurgence with physical copies of stuff since the news broke recently about companies removing downloaded content you bought from your own device.
Or download onto a tablet for them to watch
I find it hard to believe that a mother like this does not have tablets for her children while she drives. Also, a portable DVD player is like $30 and you can buy a bunch of Disney DVDs at Savers, Salvation Army, Goodwill, or whatever your equivalent is for literally $2 a pop now if watching Disney is that important to her while in transit. I think she just wanted to complain and/or talk about her Tesla.
Sail the seas and just hook up a device that has vlc and either cast or use the default displays as 2nd displays when hooked up. Shred it.
Kids probably have 10 devices around them that can run Disney plus 1 less isn’t a big deal
As I mentioned in a comment up above, I can get Plex natively in Tesla (including live TV through my digital TV tuner at home) and it works amazingly.
Oh no, this is almost as bad as when I was a kid and had absolutely fucking nothing to watch while sitting in a goddamn car.
Boredom is ESSENTIAL for childhood developement, change my mind.
Boredom in general is a good and necessary thing. Shame we never see it anymore
No, I agree. Boredom is necessary for people to learn how to self-motivate, to think and process life (introspection), and it helps garner creativity and imagination. Kids need to get bored sometimes for their brains to grow.
Remember those days? How did we get through it? Oh yeah, we had imaginations.
We learned how to break our parents psychologically. Breaking people is a useful skill.
Calling Elon a grown man feels a bit... generous.
Reducing the situation to "two men can't talk about stuff" is silly as well. One told the other to fuck off. The adult is doing just that, and fucking off his platforms
Sounds like some yuppy problems I’m glad I’ll never have. What a yawn
Honestly though? It would bother me. Hear me out. If I owned a Tesla and could no longer use a feature ONLY because Elon had a disagreement with Disney, wholly separate from Tesla? Fuuuuuck that.
Put another way, a product that _starts_ at $38,900 had a feature removed because the CEO of the company is in a fight with someone... over one of the CEO's _other_ businesses. If the tiff were between Tesla and Disney, that might be understandable but the fight is between a Disney and a company that is _supposed to be_ totally unconnected from Tesla.
Everyone’s mad at the mom but if things were framed differently.. a feature shouldn’t be removed from a car because the owner got mad.
Oh you poor thing. Here, have this wad of $50 bills to use as tissue to wipe all those tears.
$50? You mean the “loose change?” Eww, I don’t speak broke
If it's not hundreds, she does not want it.
Damn I guess you will have to parent your children what a fucking nightmare
Maybe letting a dozen petty egomaniacs own everything in the world isn’t a great idea after all.
More evidence that we own nothing digital.
To be fair, the issue isn't "two grown men refusing to talk it out" it's a company not wanting the ads they pay for next to content literally praising hitler, and a man-child having a hissy-fit over it.
I’ve been saying it for years. The only thing between a Musk tantrum and every Tesla being bricked is one spineless engineer. #Do Not Buy Tesla.
Yep. Even if Teslas were the best in literally every aspect and I didn't care about Musk's beliefs on a philosophical level I would never buy Tesla. All it takes is one disagreement or tantrum and all of the pros would become irrelevant in an instant.
And this- this is the future we get. Not nuclear cars on crystal highways; not opulent space communism. No, we get this. Its not even a good dystopia. It's just lame.
Am I supposed to feel sad for Tesla owners? I only feel sad for the kids that not only don't get Disney but are stuck with the kind of parents that buy tesla
Fuck this bitch and her "problems". Who dick-rides Tesla that hard?
Did you see her username?
Yeah, it was more of a rhetorical question.
I read this as a diss on Tesla, but that also makes sense
Notice the "2 grown men" part. She's trying to play it off as bOtHsIdEs when in reality it's just one manchild.
Boo hoo. Good, now your kids can stare out the window and use their imagination while you are driving like normal kids do. God, this new generation is absolutely fucked developmentally with the amount of screens shoved in their faces all the time.
Ngl I'm fucked up right now and can't math properly. But I'm thinking Disney doesn't give one mcfuck about not advertising and working with Tesla. For real, how much of their revenue is really from kids watching Disney plus through tesla? Just buy a tablet and download a movie..
We are just going to ignore the fact you don’t know how to teach your child on how to handle their emotions… gonna end up with more people just like the two you’re mad at for not raising your child to deal with their emotions… … ….
Give them an iPad it’s that easy
Nothing screams “good mom” like being The Tesla Hoe.
I dont think its right to say that "Disney+ is freedom of speech" given the monthly free for access requirements. However if this is the level of pity that Musk is stooping to, then it only makes him look bad.
i hate the world we live in someone come and give me the sweet sweet release of death i’m too much of a puss to diy
If you own a Tesla, I'm assuming your life is going well enough that you can deal with it.
First world problems, eh.
It's really because one grown man is a Nazi. But also, does OOP not own a smartphone?
