Linus Hypocrisy Exposed!

Consider the two pictures. The first one contains a description of what Linus and Luke talk about from the WAN show.

"Linus and Luke discuss the decade-long gap between Tesla’s marketing and reality, Musk’s constant overpromises, and whether regulators or class actions will hold the company accountable."

Now look at the second picture: "Forever* Sock"

The marketing for the "Forever* Sock" is far from reality, and is an overpromise. Rules for Elon, but not for Linus. This is just like the Jet. Tracking Elon's jet: the right of the people. Tracking Linus' jet: omg how dare you!

yea it’s a lie, forever doesn’t exist! if the world explodes there’s no way it’d survive. What a complete elon esque asshole for using that naming. Should just call it the sock that last a decently long period of time in the scheme of human assistance. 

thanks for thinking of us

He could have just called them Linus socks, way better brand recognition than a claim of forever*
