But there are legit critiques of him that lie outside Trumpism/MAGA. If we ever want to have productive discussions about this stuff, we'll have to separate out his MAGA stuff from his businesses. Not easy, I admit. But otherwise we'll continually get bogged down in a bigger blue/red fight that honestly no one really wants on this board.

What red/blue fight are we bogged down in? The present discussion is about workers safety and wage theft at his factory and the subpar product that is autopilot and full self driving. What about any of that is MAGA?
There is an entire NY Times documentary on the massive problems at Tesla as well as state and federal investigations. To say that TALKING about any of these things is somehow political is non-sensical. The reason Elon says that he is being targeted as a republican is in order to suggest bias in the investigations that pre-date his public right turn. It's a similar argument that people like Trump, Raniere and other cult like figures use when they fuck up and the reporting of those fuck ups interfere with the illusion that they have cast about their persona.
So anyway, what's up with this permit?
