      He is, otherwise he will get funds in some way or another. Rich people can’t become poor today.

      That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They’ll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

        you mean “police needs to buy more cybertrucks, so they always have a bunch of spares when they break down due to a puddle”

          Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They’ll break down in transit!

      I’m torn on this one. On the one hand, fuck Musk. On the other hand, the US replacing huge fleets of gas vehicles with electric and building out all the attendant infrastructure would be a huge climate win.

        Plus, it’s a vehicle that’s likely to be shit for its owner, so I’m cool with cops having them en mass

          Round about way to defund them, force them to spend funding on maintaining overpriced junk.
