OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

"As much as I hate elon..."

"I hate elon as much as the next guy, but...."

"Look, I'm no elon fan, but..."

I'm sure you all know, but to be clear, the above are the beginnings of sentences from people who don't hate elon. They are sentences from people who like elon, but think you will hate them, or not consider their opinions, if they say out loud that they do, in fact, like elon.

On a separate but related note, this is elon speaking at a hate-filled rally featuring a series of bigoted speakers, including himself. The rally very intentionally cosplayed an American Nazi rally that famously occurred at Madison Square garden in the 1930s. To emphasize how on the nose this all was, elon wore a specially made hat - a hat that very deliberately used an especially prominent font from the Nazi era. They are literally SCREAMING it in your face and tattooing it on their foreheads

elon has done nothing good or admirable with his life and elon will will not do anything good or admirable with his life. You can't compartmentalize your opinion on this, he sucks, on the whole.

I hate Elon. There is no grey area in that statement.

A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren't endorsements of any person or company.

Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

Its like saying that you can't endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.
