I find analogy to flight travel very relevant.

Imagine air travel invented but with current societies standards, cultures and laws.

Would it have been difficult to introduce it and convince that it is safe?

Air travel also was initially slightly unsafe but over time became safer with lots of deliberate effort put.

The similarities are striking: you could have one or two crashes like the person who unfortunately encountered the accident with Tesla. Just like you could have a few crashes.

Elons nazi salute will go down in history as one of the most expensive blunders.

Hes so dumb (and high on ket) that he did not understand 95% of his customer base are not maga nutjobs, but progressive democrats. This is even more evident in Europe.

It's hard to even game theory what he wanted from it. I'm not a complete Musk detractor, I don't think he's so autistic that he didn't know what he was doing. The only good-faith explanation seems to be that he needed to pull the cord on his progressive image ASAP to fulfill some perverse incentive we don't know about. Something pressured him enough to crack, resulting in awkward performative gestures to try and grab the attention of the media.

That, or he's a Strangelove incarnate that managed to hide his proclivities for Nazism up until now.
