People call him 'Hot Wheels' simply because he's in a wheelchair. It's straightforward and has nothing to do with his policies or anything. Just a nickname based on his personal life.
Greg Abbott is nicknamed 'Hot Wheels' because he's been using a wheelchair since an accident in 1984. It's a playful nod to his mobility method, and not at all about the toy brand. Quite the spin on a situation, if you ask me!
