minus-squareIronKrill@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 months agoWhat the parent comment is saying is the implication is that without Elon’s money, he wouldn’t consider EVs. So same meaning.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoSaying that he “has no choice” now doesn’t really sound like he’s the one in control of the decision. That’s definitely not the same thing.

(Haven’t had a logic course in literal decades, so maybe someone can correct me if I’m misremembering. I forget how to draw those logic square thingies…)
