For all it's flaws, you can't deny it looks different from all the other cars around, and most people aren't online enough to have an opinion about Musk and his bullshit, so to them it's just an interesting looking car.

Except that they love policies that only benefit rich people who don't care about them.

It's not hypocrisy when you understand that "waste" is conservative for "helps the poor and/or minorities"

For their sake, I hope they've read one of those posts of advice for this situation or otherwise have a good plan. Their life getting fucked seems the more likely outcome, though.
