Elon Musk admitted to using two secret alternate accounts on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) in a deposition for a lawsuit against the billionaire. He said that he used some accounts on the social media site outside of his main public account when he was asked to clarify if he used an account on X that had been linked to him by several users on social media. Some users posted a screenshot of his X interface last year in which the additional account appeared to be visible.

Tesla is similar to Apple in the regard that owners of their products are something of a cult following and their satisfaction is not based on the quality of the product, but possibly other psychological factors such as being part of what they perceive as an exclusive "in group".

Or we are just pleased with the product. I’ve had fewer issues with my Tesla than any other car.

In the 2020 Initial Quality Study conducted by the marketing research company J.D. Power, Tesla was the worst-performing company, reporting 250 problems per 100 vehicles during the first 90 days of owning a newly purchased vehicle.

Oh please. You think Trump was a great president. I wouldn't be surprised if you thought a shit sandwich was tasty if it was packaged in right wing ideology.
