      Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.

        Depends on the way it’s framed. If you frame it as providing off-grid energy for the unreliable electricity grid provided by the country and less dependence on foreign oil, you can probably sell to the right wing as well.Because fuck the government and fuck foreigners.

      I just started a job selling solar. And I was told more right wing leaning people buy more systems if you push the “off grid” option.
