The corrupt governments of the world will never countenance a self-sufficient (AKA politically independent) colony off the earth. To do so would invite the possibility that these independent colonies, if sufficiently provoked, would fight back by dropping rocks (with catastrophic results) on their earthbound tormentors.

This is the logic of psychopaths, or the logic of crabs in a bucket. In any case, we shall see how Musk et. al. are sabotaged once their technological infrastructure is capable of launching viable colonies.

The Martian Resistance will fight off the globalist oppressors!

They are over priced for sure.

People vote with their checkbook. The waiting list on the cars, up to over a year, suggests others don’t feel the same way.

Marketing trumps engineering.

Electric vehicles are no better than internal combustion engine vehicles, and in many ways are worse. They have less range, the material to build them is dependent on essentially slave labor, our energy grid is burdened by them, they produce (at least) as much pollution as an ICE engine, you just don't see it, because it's produced at an electrical plant which isn't in your backyard.

I can tell you this, and you will ignore it. Marketing trumps engineering. We know, but who listens to the people who build all this shit? We are not skilled in convincing you, we are skilled only in informing you and in building all this shit. You simply cannot believe us. Truth has no power over marketing.

He did exactly what they told him: "If you don't like Twitter - get your own".

This didn't age well.
