    It’s probably too “woke” for Musk’s new fanbase and he doesn’t wanna look like he got hit by the “Woke Mind Virus”.

    Btw, I love the guys over at Edison Motors, who got fed up waiting for an all electric hauling truck, so they’re retrofitting their own, under the slogan “Stealing Tesla’s Ideas”.

      As some one who loves Nikola Tesla and despises everything Edison stood for, I can’t help but respect what I’ve heard about Edison Motors

        Here’s a fun fact

        Thomas Edison was one of the first people to speak out against putting radium in fucking everything. When everyone was going absolutely nuts for radiation, Edison refused to join the craze and wouldn’t work with radium or polonium after watching an assistant develop a skin condition after working with X-rays.

      So long as we’re talking about Tesla knockoffs, gotta love Nikola’s attempt to fake it til they made it with absolutely no tech, rolling the prototype down a hill n hoping no one noticed.
