I hate that my taxes went into Elen’s pockets. The whole government funded factory seemed like a scam to begin with.

What a huge display of incompetence. And I can't say how im even remotely shocked with how Musk managed to get a deal like that and push out any other smaller company from even being a participant. Such a mess.

Tesla’s troubles with solar in Buffalo were overshadowed by a federal corruption probe into the construction of the factory. Kaloyeros and others, including one of Cuomo’s closest aides, were convicted of rigging the bid process to award the construction contract to a politically connected local contractor. The convictions were subsequently vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court.

But let’s focus on Elon musk and Tesla, it’s good to see the big oil propaganda has also left Reddit to do useful idiot work for the destruction of the planet.

How many more hottest days of the year are we okay with and people dying before we admit that big steps like this one are necessary to save people.

And then the government fucks it up with contractor bullshit like they always do, and suddenly it’s Musks and solars fault.

C’mon bro, we’re better than this here.

Damn, Elon Musk keeps getting tricked over and over again, how unfortunate

How well, nothing he could have done

Also implying Elon Musk is somehow saving the planet, lol, lmao even

I don’t give a fuck about Elon musk, dude. But I DO care about progressive technologies that can help save the planet from climate crises and big oil poisoning the planet.

Those things are far more important to me than whatever musk drama and gossip people like to spread.

It obfuscates the point when people just get wrapped up in a feverish circle jerk about one man.

I wish all success to Musk, he must stay relevant for all world to see that we don't need billionaires.

Eventually, everyone will come to the logical conclusion that we must seize all they have, it's all ours anyway.

Did we learn nothing from Foxxcon?
