I thought he was implying he invested in Tesla itself? Also, just because you have a huge bankroll doesn't make money worth less . 15k is 15k, regardless of how much you have in the bank. It's valid either way to be angry about b

It's not free transit unless they include WMATA (the subway). Very few people commute via bus in DC. I rarely did it because often traffic would make it take a long time even though I lived in the district.
