    If you read the article you’d see that he said that in the context of buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030. Suburbans start at $77k, so I don’t think his comment is that out of line.

      It’s not, of course it’s not.

      But we know that legacy Reddit users never even bothered to read the articles anyway. Hurray! I missed-- not.

      That context is great, but I haven’t seen any articles about the Chevy CEO saying such astoundingly tone deaf shit. 🤔 maybe the price isn’t what’s inflammatory.
