| > Sales don't make people want things they otherwise don't. That is exactly what sales do. most sales are made sellings things to people they don’t want, until sales does what sales does |

| ▲ | bdangubic 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | look around your house and see how much shit you got that you really want(ed). great salesman (and elon is the best in the history of the civilization) will sell you shit you never thought you wanted :) | | |
| ▲ | dmarcos 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | The motivation to buy something is always because you want it. That a product doesn’t meet your needs or expectations later is a different story. What’s your evidence to claim that people spending 60k in a cybertruck don’t want it? What’s your evidence to make a similar claim or the opposite for any other purchase? Without evidence it feels you are making baseless claims about peoples motivations. |
