A fun read if you're a CT Hater.
You can rent a Tesla Cybertruck for a day, if you dare, and SFGATE columnist Drew Magary dared.

I don't feel strongly about the CT either way, but lately I'm actually finding amusement whenever I see an Elon related hit piece. They're everywhere, so it's typically a daily or multiple time per week occurrence.
Yes Elon is an extremely unique character. 1 in 100M? 1 in 1B? Maybe. Yes, his dad was extremely physically and emotionally abusive during Elon's childhood. Yes, Elon has Asperger's. Yes, he and his siblings immigrated to the US shortly after Elon turned 18. With nothing. And he proceeded to try to upend the electronic payment industry (perhaps not successfully but did walk away with piles of money), revolutionized space travel, disrupted the US auto industry, is a player in the solar industry, the home + commercial + utility battery industry, the boring company, AI, X/Twitter, and so on. Yes, he struggles with relationships. No, I would never personally want to work with him. Yes, I directly and indirectly benefit from his and his team's monumental accomplishments. Why not just let it end there, you know?
He has a stance of X on some issue? He created a unique looking and opinion polarizing car? He thinks there should be minimal guard rails on free speech and media companies should not put weights on the scales of political discourse? He thinks the tang menace (TM) is a better fit than cackala? Okay, cool, gotta go work to put food on the table, see ya.
People seem to be very agitated by him, the things he's accomplished, and the things he says. Certain publications seem happy to give a platform to any
triggered activist "journalist" who is willing to take time away from their
very busy productive lives to write a childish opinion piece about how terrible Elon and the things he's involved in are.
It reminds me of times in high school when person A would get extremely upset with (i.e. emotionally hurt by) person B. Person A would proceed to make it their sole objective to spread negative thoughts about person B. Day after day... sometimes for weeks. Person A would even get upset with classmates when despite all the negative things they've said about person B, classmates maintain positive or neutral viewpoint about person B. The whole thing was a giant waste of time. Kind of like this comment
