The president threw Elon Musk a lifeline with an event, livestreamed on X, where he touted the cars and said he would buy one.

        Okay, but lots of people do. Why not both? I’m sure you realize that progress is incremental, we’re not going to jump from here straight to a utopia.

        Also, many people don’t have a choice. My job has to be done in-person most of the time, it can’t be done by robots or AI (yet), and I have to bring a large amount of equipment with me. But I would love my work vehicle to be a government-subsidized zero-emissions one!

    Because of ethical restraints it is extremely rare for a senior government official, let alone a sitting president, to endorse a consumer product so explicitly.

    Yeah… Those were good times.

    Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence

    There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist

    Searching on Google “how to sell my tesla” or “how to sell my tesla stock” hurts their shares. Scheduling a test drive and not showing up wastes their time and resources :)

    😂 what a waste. I doubt this even moves the needle on public perception. Rednecks aren’t buying these things only well off urban Republicans. I can’t think many leftists give a shit about these things. They may be fast, but they have no class.
