Maybe he believed Musk’s ‘appreciating asset’ lie. Clearly many people have believed many of Musk’s lies - granted usually not to the point of spending well into six figures on shit cars - but there we go.
Human nature makes it difficult to change once belief in a lie is ingrained. Our mentality is such that we can’t just adapt and change. Too big a psychological change ultimately leads to effects like a psychotic break, or disassociation, or similar traumatic blackouts. These are extremes that aren’t supposed to reflect general day to day stuff, but illustrate a point.
Societies that have experienced really heavy social media use have a strong need for the skills of cult de-programmers right now.
Part of our decay in America is we’re so isolated from discomfort and the world’s problems that our idea of “struggling” is wildly removed from the rest of the world.
Chances are it’ll just disproportionately affect all of us who have to drag ourselves outta bed at 6AM to clock in at 8, and our crippled wages will afford less bread.
And our commuter shitboxes will start to make funny noises and we’ll hope it will roll another week, while they’ll be more costly to insure and keep fueled.
And these people crying about their inconvenient luxuries will definitely be heard the loudest.
“Muh property tax on muh second house went up 0.5%! NOT FAIR!”
“Charging my personal fleet of Rivians and Teslas has gotten more expensive! Everyone else must be a communist and the immigrants did this!”

If I can remind you of history, for a few years used teslas kept up prices with new. You couldn’t go wrong.
What everyone forgot then and seem to have forgotten now, is its mostly supply and demand. It has almost nothing to do with the actual car
Basic supply and demand kiddos

dont worry, america as a whole will be getting a wakeup on that soon enough
Psh. “As a whole” if there’s any justice.
