why you would even buy elmo shitbox, garbage assembly quality and QC in general.
Kinda early, I'd say. Get out of big tech services, protest, spread the awareness, find like-minded individuals, call and write your politicians, volunteer for voting campaigns (voter turnout during US elections was so shit it's not even funny and out of touch dem party didn't help). I've spent most of my life living in the actual dictatorship, and lemme tell ya, getting out and protesting without getting your limbs broken in police station and getting thrown into prison for 6-10 years after is a fucking luxury. So do it while you can do it.
While I have my doubts about the state of general american public (normie response outside of reddit/fediverse echo chambers was mostly 'that's our boy Elon, he's quirky like that and didn't mean it') and levels of apathy in society I feel like it's still salvageable.
