Not exactly. Tesla owners had to phone to the legislators to stop the parts of that bill that would close Tesla Service Centres and raise the registration fees to a ludicrous amount.As slimy as politicians are, there’s a code when it comes to things like this. If Elon wanted a change in the laws, Abbott would have promised it, and he knows he can strong-arm the legislature.
The exact same thing happened last year when Abbott’s buddy Warren Buffett wanted a loophole in the same law. It sailed through.
