Are you saying Elon is a victim?

No, Elon saying “changing political sentiment” as the reason Tesla is failing is victim blaming. He basically slapped us in the face and then told us that it’s OUR fault we won’t buy his cars any more.

Ok, thanks for the clarification lol. I read that in a way that was like, alright even Elon would have a hard time convincing himself of this. My bad.
