I'd kinda forgotten about the car chargers. According to Reason, the situation is way worse than I'd have guessed. 8 chargers complete so far? Come on.

Let's say it's actually 100,000 chargers (but it's surely no where near that). Then each one cost $75k. Jeez.

Almost done with the episode, just paused to say I don't think Trump will stop doing rallies and whatnot after he's finished his term. He'll be there for Rubio/Vance/whoever as often as he can because he's an attention whore, and he'll never get the same high as the rallies anywhere else anymore.

Yet don't forget Elon got all of our data gave it to Putin and Lord knows who else probably China so they can get a giant database on every individual so if you don't do what they want you're not going to get any money that's why they're trying to make that new ecos economy system they're all deranged I think a general strike is an order time

I discount these types conspiracy theories, regardless of which side of the aisle they're coming from. It just makes your position look credulous. I suggest coming with rock solid evidence when making extraordinary claims

All the data that you could be concerned about is available through data brokers/miners and are bought by China, Russia, and whoever else. Just like QAnon 'Stop The Steal' crowd that held a view that deep state stole votes through Chinese and the ghost of Hugo Chavez, assigning magical powers to Elon Musk is intrinsically conspiratorial that requires contradictory beliefs that there's a omnipotent entity and an utterly incompetent evil. The Deep State/Elon Musk can steal elections but only in the presidential election and not in Congressional elections/state judge race. Which is it, can Deep State/Elon Musk dictate elections but not when the election results contradict the conspiracy theory?
