3 A lot of loonies in California thought Teslas were extremely cool at first. You see a lot of them on the roads here. They might have problems is cold climates but they do well here. In fact, they really are nice cars. They are luxurious, quiet and fast. People say the acceleration beats any other car on the road. They have proven themselves to be reliable as well. They don't break down or fall apart.

But then the loonies heard that Musk was working with Trump to reduce federal spending and now they wouldn't be caught dead in a Tesla. Or, if they are, they put a bumper sticker on the car that says "I bought it before I knew he was crazy."

But I don't think Musk is the one who is crazy.

5 But I don't think Musk is the one who is crazy.

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the
dunces are all in confederacy against him.
