A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

What are politically progressive Tesla owners doing with their vehicles now that Musk is transparently in bed with the opposite end of the political spectrum? (lemmy.world)

Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it's not yet hit home where their dollars are going...or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism; owning a Tesla isn’t any worse morally than owning a Mercedes

I don’t own one because they’re fucken lame, not because Elong is a knob. Or not primarily at least

Yeah but not all consumption is equal. And when musk is an accelerations... that's probably worse
