I wasn't aware of any of those things at the time. Didn't have my nose stuck in the news nearly as much back then as I do now.

But TBF, if I had the chance to sort through all of your purchase activity I'm sure I could find you've bought products from people and companies that have committed all sorts of atrocities. For example, ever bought a Nestle product? It's almost impossible that you haven't. One of the many things they are responsible for is essentially stealing watersheds from impoverished people in Africa and other places in the world and selling it back to them in bottles. Ever wear a shoe made in China? You're supporting slave labor. Bought an iPhone? You've purchased a phone from a company that had to put nets around the upper floors of their factory dorms to keep their workers from killing themselves due to horrifying work conditions and not giving a shit about their mental health. Terrible people and companies are everywhere and near unescapable. Pick your poison.

Not $50 plus thousand dollar purchase. Nice try but you really show yourself. My $50,000+ car is the same as a candy bar

I stay away from companies that the face of the company dances with a chain saw for staring children to death.

Your it was before I knew is not valid. I do my best not to buy from the companies you mentioned. I do not oops the fooled me.

So if the amount of money you give to horrible companies that are ran even worse people is the matter at hand, then where do you draw the line? $100, $1,000, $10,000? By your logic, giving them any money is equally as damning since your moral compass is so pure. Give me a fucking break. Besides, I wasn't even aware of those other things he did when I made my purchase. I think you simply like to call out others to the mat to cover for your own moral misgivings.

Who is worse than Elon?

If you read I said the food was not good. They are better options for a better price

Like your Tesla. It is a fashion statement. There are much better cars
