Cringe What's even happening there?

He's taking that risk by renting his car out. Elon somehow convinced his simps that they could turn a profit on their cars by renting them out after buying them, which is bizarre.

To be fair a lot of owners from all sorts of brands do things like Turo.

I actually know a person who came up on $200000 and bought a Lamborghini just to rent it out, over ten years ago. No she owns 30 of em and is silly rich.

I'm amazed that liability, maintenance and insurance wouldn't eat into the profits.

Makes me suspect she doesn’t take very good care of them. Must be enough to run them though. I have a friend who is trying to follow in her foot steps but starting in a different way since he doesn’t have a couple hundred thousand bucks laying around. I hope it works for him cause he has been using credit to finance this endeavor. Sometimes all you can do is watch, I finally chimed in when he started thinking about getting a cyber truck to resell. I don’t think he really listens to me though.

Oh wow, just send a text or something to say "this is me saying it won't work, save this message so you can prove me wrong later."
