The TV comedy writer muses on the"moment when liberal Los Angeles' desire to virtue-signal overpowered our desire to success-signal," which ended when Elon Musk sold the first Tesla.
It was a moment when liberal Los Angeles' desire to virtue-signal overpowered our desire to success-signal. When people who dreamed their entire lives of owning a Porsche and could now afford said Porsche, bought that Porsche but left it in their garage and bitterly drove a Prius to work, to parties and to restaurants.The Prius said, "I care so much about the environment, I am willing to drive a Prius." And you got to say all of that even if all you could afford was a Prius.
At that moment I wasn't a guy with a journalist salary. I was a guy saving the citizens of the Maldives from losing their country to floods caused by global warming. Sometimes, I would do that key-forgetting thing on purpose so I could give more people a chance to see me save the Maldives. During the Gay Prius Era, Angelenos drove free on the freeways and parked unselfconsciously at pitch meetings, each of us blissfully unaware of how each other's careers were going.Shortly after the first Tesla was sold, my successful friends dumped their Priuses, most likely in a landfill inhabited by several endangered species. A studio gave a Tesla as a gift to a showrunner I know, so her minions would stop feeling equal to her.
