NOTES FROM THE ROAD: Krystal and the Deep Blue Sea

As I get into the Tesla, I immediately see the entire roof is plastered with hundreds of stickers of Elon Musk. A large heart-shaped pink sticker stuck on her console says: “I love Elon Musk.” No other stickers dot the car’s interior. No political messages or advocacy for special interest groups. The entire car is a shrine to Elon Musk. I want to know why this woman who works hard for her money loves Elon Musk.
