I gave him lots of money when he showed off Teslas all-electric sports car, pitched the model S sedan, and laid out the plan for solar roof tiles, and home battery storage.
It was a beautiful moment when I saw a billionaire putting their money against fossil fuels.
When he was struggling to get model 3 production rolling, I gave him lots more money.
Then he started shitting on trans folks and I started divesting, but still wanted Tesla to succeed.
Then he essentially bought twitter with that money I gave him to develop Tesla and reports of working conditions started coming out so I divested more... But I held hope Tesla board would kick him out and I could put that money back.
Then he got into politics and Tesla board voted to give Elon tens of billions and I left all the way.
Fucking shame.
There was a moment when Tesla was investing tens of billions into actual electrification research and developing compelling projects and making lots of money because of it.
