It's interesting. My right wing family also now loves him, but they just love Elon. They would never consider a Tesla because it's what the "left" drive in California, neither of which they want to be associated with.

I guess a counterpoint to your story: I worked at eBay when the story broke. We were all aware of Ina's blog and followed it regularly. As you mentioned, she was a great voice for e-commerce, and one that the vast majority of us apprec
