Tesla CEO Elon Musk has persistently undercut his own company’s former reputation as a planet-saving force for good, but that has not prevented Tesla from maintaining a tight grip on the EV market here in the US.

Cards Against Humanity Wants To Erect A Statue For Elon Musk
Cards Against Humanity launched in 2014 and soon gained a reputation for deploying high profile pranks in the service of its bitingly humorous card games. In 2017, the company bought a plot of land in Texas on the Mexican border, purportedly in order to halt the construction of US President Donald Trump’s notorious border wall. The funds were raised by fans of the game, 150,000 of whom pitched in $15.00 each in just one month to fund the land purchase. Some of the money also went to retain a legal firm specializing eminent domain cases.
