So what are they doing instead? Buying gasoline? Then their hate of Musk
is so great they want to "damage" the planet. Buy another EV? Well, if
that is what they do, there's a big chance they would be supporting authoritarian china where a majority of the batteries and raw material for
the batteries are produced.
These are tough times, these global integrated supply chain times, because regardless of what high technology you buy you'll be supporting China in
one way or another. ;)
I'm happy that I can listen to Wagner, despite nazis, read Dostoyevsky
despite Putin, and buy my food despite Antonia Johnson (a swedish
socialist who owns swedens 3:rd biggest chain of super markets). ;)
