In Ireland the registration have a number on them like 251 for the first half of 2025 and 252 on them for the second half of 2025. Given you might have paid for your 251 reg in 2024 it seems a bit unfair to target someone who might have paid for the car and not have the money to buy another car now. They could be a good person who wanted to go electric for the environment.

Musk seems to think Musk is a tech genius, but really he was just born into money and used it to buy a bunch of companies. In fairness he was able to recognise which companies to buy, doesn’t mean he knows anything about databases though.

Free speech for Musk means Musk gets to decide what people are allowed to say.
