    I think a cybertruck would have been more appropriate. A lot of people bought a model X before we knew he was a nazi. Granted the X is still a bad car imo.

      Wouldn’t matter anyway though since the cyber truck isn’t available in Europe let alone in the UK in fact the one guy that imported one (why, he had to know it was illegal) had it impounded.

          The idiot had it under foreign plate because obviously he can’t get plate tags for it in the UK. He’s breaking so many laws.

          The best bit is that it was impounded in a Morrison’s car park which is a bit like Walmart in terms of classiness. So presumably he spent all his money on the car.

      But other Tesla models are still selling much better than the Nazitruck. If we want to make a point and make a dent in Musk’s profits as he strips our country for scrap metal and fires everyone, we need to discourage people from associating with anything that gives the bastard more money/power.

        You have my full support and i fully agree on your last point but in nuance Tesla could go bankrupt and Musks wealth will hardly make a dent. With a budget of spending a mil a day it would still take centuries to blow trough all his money.

          Isn’t most of his wealth in stocks? If investors think Tesla is a bad stock (because no one will buy the cars), then Musk is poor.

            Actually you are correct. I thought i had found a number for his liquid money but it wasn’t.

            Also got a bit hung up on his stake in Tesla being just 13% but with Tesla being valued at ~900B thats still over ~100B of his ~320B “value”

            Yes it is, and crashing Tesla stock will certainly make him less rich. He still has his other shit companies, so crashing Tesla stocks alone won’t make him poor, but we might not have to hear quite so much about him.

          It’s not about denting his money, it’s about denting his image. Let the free market see he’s toxic, and that will send ripples to places even Republicans care about: their wallets. Specifically, it can impact Tesla stock.

        Yeah but I bought a used model 3 a couple years ago and I really like it :( I don’t want one nazi asshole to ruin it for me but it’s a losing battle. I reserved an Aptera 2 or 3 years ago and I was hoping to not get another car until that’s ready.

      I disagree. They all need to be sold, and their value needs to plummet. This is the way the people can speak against this man.

      These are insanely expensive cars. Nobody who has one can’t sell it and get a literal new car with the money, or a fantastic used car.

    doesn’t that look like ai? seems like bleeding of the bottom of the busstop roof or is that dirt?

      At the bottom of the bus stop is rain going down a dirty surface. Given it’s in London, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t there.

      It really doesn’t look like ai. Look at the background and the reflections on the ceiling. Those all make way too much sense for this to be ai. I’ll say it’s possible that this is edited. Someone could have swapped out a different bus stop ad.

        Nah i am talking about the bottom of the red roof. Could be paint peeling off or just weird ai dreams.

        Moved out of London myself, otherwise this would have been a 30min trip to check for me. And i would.

          It all looks way too consistent for AI. AI images tend to be slightly blurry and don’t have a lot of consistency especially with text

          There’s a lot of stuff in there that I don’t think an AI would include like the random sticker on the pole, the reflections on the plastic that covers the ad, the bus stop paint on the road is rather worn but not massively worn I feel like an AI would go in one direction or the other.

            lol not doubting its a real place i lived in that neck of the woods a few months ago, but now its 2h each way and 40 quid off peak train for me + tube to check. Which is a little too much. I am just doubting that this made it through advertising standards and actually got posted. This would be controlled by TFL, so I would imagine they would also be previewing ads abot to be run.

            Would be nice if we got a few more pixels… trying to convince some local colleagues to go check it out.

              Dude you can buy keys to open this digital graffiti things and insert whatever poster you want.

              If this is actually in that spot it is because someone put it in there , not by contacting the company that controls these eyesores but by being malicious in a good way.

                  Correct. Thing they’re like triangle shape keys some of them. There was a website, which I forget the name of, that would show tips for doing stuff like this and where to get the keys from etc.
