Couldn't care less. I deleted my account after Elon's purchase went through.
Fair enough and definitely your choice.
Choice: (if I understand correctly) you've chosen to avoid ANY service or product just because you dislike a person or what they stand for is in disagreement to your beliefs or stance.
Opinions vary: Not necessarily like the typical overlords over time but some have felt this way, their choice and fine.
Pontificate this: (in response to your choice mentioned above: which again is completely valid).
Have you ever owned, leased, or driven or rode into a VW? A Mercedes-Benz (of any kind on either)?
Anywhere for business travel, family/friends, even using Ride hailing services?
Does any of your closest friends or family members?
Just curious, as in reflection I don't agree with what either company in the past stood for - anyone can google what I'm referring to but the focus and purpose of my point is this. Judgement of the past doesn't guarantee certainty of repeat into the future - even for entity's and for the most part people. Both can change direction EVEN if its takes HARSH or forced reflection or direction of their current or (former choices/stances).
The key I'm making here is those have changed significantly even if it took 60yrs. Even both's design in some products I love. I also have to respect that one of them has made significant implementations and inventions that are refletive ALL cars today!
Mercedes-Benz ... created the steering wheel - one of their engineers that came to work for them after beating them in the earliest of races (Le-Mans or pre-Le Mans). It was more efficient than a lever.
- Windshield,
- sound proofing glass,
- chock to shift pedal (well that will soon be gone sure enough but its had a LONG ride)
- suspension advancements.
Many more we all take for granted but even prior to an error I disliked them they made significant POSITIVE changes that positively affected me in my youth and prior to me being born (any of us here actually) that had nothing to do with a previous stance/actions in a short time frame by comparison that I disliked.
What I'm saying is YES you have your choice and it's always valid.
People change and not all their endeavours are done or will end up in the view of what you may initially think to dislike them. (Sorry Companies too). Both make directional or vision changes in their existence, like choosing another path when presented with a fork in the road. Not many maybe a few more or less - it always varies. You still may be right.
What I'm saying if anything at all is ... give it a chance as a wait and see - your choice to see if something good can come from it - a simple purchase is harmful enough and the blue checkmark is not forced upon. Maybe I mis-read your short reply and your choice IS in fact a wait and see.
(PS: not specifically directed to you or anyone, yet it DOES include myself)
Cheers.
No. Don’t pretend you know other people.
Don’t tell others what they cannot do on public forums you don’t own not administer.
I’m sure im not the only one that perceived your minimal negative choice. Either way it’s opinion to make (your earlier post) and mine you to perceive.
