  1. Elon has raised the ire of entitled elites. There will be nonstop hit pieces on Elon on ALL the captured media. That said, I expect Tesla sales to suffer, because he pissed off the insufferable, virtue-signaling champagne socialists that comprise a major fraction of his customers. And why do even I use the term "virtue signal" as a pejorative? In another context, I'd likely call it "setting an example" and consider it a good thing! I respect people who buy EVs in an earnest attempt to make the world a better place, but I think trying to replace internal combustion outside of urban areas is ridiculous. It totally makes sense for small, efficient EV bikes and 3- and 4-wheel runabouts. Distances are short. Electricity is everywhere. But going head-to-head with my pickup truck out in the Idaho panhandle? No contest. And they should let the market decide what the next iteration looks like, not bureaucrats with billionaires telling them to favor what the billionaires want. The best things in life and for life are achieved by LETTING them happen, not by MAKING them happen. 330 million people, all trying to figure things out and share what they learned are going to invent more and better things than those who would control everything can keep up with! This is a threat to control systems they want to keep and new ones they want to make.
