King Leopold must be smiling in his grave.
I hate to embrace Shadenfreude, but I never want to hear another fucking word about the wonders of Powerwalls.

(8,633 posts)I would venture to guess that a high number of Tesla owners did NOT vote for trump. I know for certain that in our local circle the 22 other owners including myself did not and would never. I bought my Tesla in late 2019 and highly object to your broad brush disparate opinion. trump won because 68,000,000 voters didnt show up.

(34,839 posts)King Musk was very popular here at DU years ago, as were, and still are, the general cause of electric cars, but in defense of DU, understanding of the 2nd law of thermodynamics is not a requirement to engage in political thought.
It's too bad that understanding the laws of thermodynamics is not more generally embraced, however. Ignorance of them is the root cause of the collapse of the planetary atmosphere, King Musk merely a symptom.
Think. Again.
