This pic of Jay Leno driving one last week gained some attention.

Notice the fingerprints along the door line. It’s like a cheap stainless steal refrigerator that you can never really get clean.

The conference call was posted to X by investigative reporter James O’Keefe, which prompted a response by Elon Musk, who called the directive “extremely concerning and obviously illegal.”

Sorry, racism is over. Doesn't happen any longer. So, just get over it.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
