“Please don’t punish people for bad decisions made in the past.”
I bought a Tesla 5 years ago - it was the most advanced and cool electric car at that time, in many regards it still is. In so many years, neither American nor European car makers managed to get on par with that technology. It was not a bad decision: it was an educated decision from a person that also cared about environment.
I understand where we are. And how crazy these times are. How crazy this American government is. And I understand we all need to be careful and act. And I also applied the “I bought this before Elon got crazy” label. But, in my opinion, the world I would like to be in is also a place where people don’t have to explain why they bought something hoping to prove that their decision is decent enough for the rest of the community.
Hey Raniero -- Fair enough. I always figure Tesla owners have enough of a sense of humor to withstand a bit of ribbing -- and I was recommending against people setting the things on fire just because of him. But point taken! (And thanks for the compliment).
Sorry, but Elon Musk has been evidently trouble for a long time. Though maybe not 5 years. But well before he bought and dismembered Twitter. I do know a few people who made the same choice though, and I was always unsure of it.

That is so funny about the mündliche Prüfung.
I have this terrible feeling that they finished Gendarmenmarkt just in time for the next war :-(
I had exactly the same thought.
