'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement (www.rawstory.com)

But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?

I think there’s another one too with a similar brand and marketing. I suppose that’s a good thing.

There's one called Semper Solaris that's full on with the military branding. "Declare your independence from the greedy power companies" etc.

Interesting thing is, they're actually a very competent company who hires former marines and has massive discounts for veterans.

Veterans who were sent to war for oil companies, turning to installing solar power is a top tier ‘fuck you’
