On May 2nd, Tesla released its earnings report for the first quarter of 2018. It beat street estimates, but still reported a loss of $3.04 per share. As conservatives, we can point to the company’s losses as a sign that Tesla can’t survive in the free market. Some might argue that electric cars can’t compete with the internal combustion engine, and that they’ve only had limited success as a result of government subsidies. That may all be true. Nonetheless, as conservatives, we should all be rooting for Tesla.
On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh often used to play a parody song called “In a Yugo.” The song mocks “a liberal guy and a liberal gal” who are so dedicated to saving the environment that they buy a small fuel-efficient car from a used car lot. Predictably, the couple ends up in a collision with a truck, and their sad little car gets flattened.
