'Problem for Tesla': Dems flee automaker over Musk’s Trump endorsement (www.rawstory.com)

But Musk later changed his mind, reportedly donating $45 million a month of his money to the pro-Trump political action committee American PAC.

`Nuff said. CEOs are often Republican, but to be this outspokenly political is normally a bad thing for CEOs like Musk. Media company heads (and Twitter/X is a media company) are supposed to at least pretend to be neutral.

And catering to the far-right seems like a bad idea if your company makes EVs. But what do I know?

If you keep up with maintenance, including all fluids, it just might. Uncle had a tiny Toyota truck, think hilux

Kept up with maintenance and replaced parts as they went. He had to let it go when the frame was rusting through. Over 30 years as his daily driver.

Hilux don’t die, they just rust away

I've done rust hole patches, but grandpa's small toyota pickup was more patch than original steel by the time it got written off following being hit by another car while parked. We probably could have fixed it but grandpa took it as his sign to give up his license and accepted whatever icbc suggested for dealing with the truck.
