That is a very well designed poll that truly conveys the full range of options between hate speech and political “correctness”

Mountain Dew should put out a poll asking Americans if they prefer to drink Mountain Dew Code Red or Horse Semen and proudly announce to the shareholders that 98.9 percent of Americans prefer Mountain Dew to other beverages.

Gonna order a frappe right now and have it delivered to my apartment, where I will toast the fact that the greatest businessman in the world is attempting to monetise his content creators so that he can freely flood the site with assholes who create nothing and explicitly want to drive away other content consumers.

Then I'll pour it down the sink to symbolise musk pouring his money down the sink and also the fact that I don't want to get diabetes.

In 2 years, the only people left will be racists and brands and the plastic cup my frappe was delivered in.

That didn’t work when he tried to wiggle out of the purchase itself so I don’t know why it would work now

Hey you guys wanna see a complete loving rando post an actually viable business model for Tesla?!

(1) Make a smaller platform, call it the 2. On this platform, make a Miata competitor (convertible mandatory, and also a 2door hatchback that competes with the BRZ/Genesis coupe. To save money, Subaru parts bin style, re-use as much of the 3 and Y equipment for base model. This includes especially the brakes. On the top Plaid model, offer neat plaid interior and use the brakes off the model S like knockoff Brembos. Parts bin your lineup strategically, as much as possible to save money, with the added bonus of making your cars more junkyardable.

Offer it in BlackSilverWhiteRedBlueBrightYellowBritishRacinggreen.

On the same platform (call this the 4): A little inexpensive 5 door hatchback like the Focus, Volt, or i3, and a very tall but small crossover with slightly more luxury options (like the Buick Encore) for tall people and folks with back and knee problems. These will be easy derivative iterations of each other.

(2) 2-3 years from now do a mild facelift on the whole line. Emphasis on mild. Make it possible to swap the facelift parts between generations.

(3) Drop the gimmick limited edition Cybertruck and make something slightly more conservative with single and double row seating cabs, with 8', 6.5', and a 5.5' short bed. Make this body on frame and simple to lift. Keep the neat evil powerline headlights. Calm this the U, for Utility, and offer an enclosed SUV version as well that compete with the Tahoe, Expedition, and Grand Wagoneer. Make it rather Warthog-like and offer a plug-in PTO front and back, with options for localized power ports akin to 110/120V 220/240V mains.

Congratulations your brand is saved and you can spell 2 S 3 X Y 4 U

One big dent on the Cybertruck's bending brake body is gonna necessitate frame repair and is gonna result in traffic deaths
