We already have uber and Lyft and taxis and our own cars and some other self driving things and bikes… and isn’t Apple supposedly coming out with a car sometime? This isn’t special and a lot of city dwellers aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore.

If you book a cybercab the price is significantly cheaper than an Uber or Lyft. You can book one to get across Austin for literally half the price of the competition.

I took screenshots of the prices I have paid because I was so happy with only having to pay $7 to get across my city.

Apple killed their car program years ago. I know because I work there.

>aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore.

That may be your personal political take, but there is no evidence that politics are slowing their growth in a meaningful way. There is still strong interest in Tesla products, products like Starlink are growing at an incredible rate, Starship launches command huge livestream viewership.

Starlink is a Tesla product? Both SpaceX and Tesla are counting it as their sale, wow!

He's responding to a claim that people "aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore"

Starlink is a Musk product.

There you go, now you understand.
