    As a current Tesla owner, can I just say that I bought my car long before this man went (fully) off the rails. Selling my car won’t hurt him, only myself. Please don’t view my car as support for this piece of shit.

        As a current owner that can’t financially walk away for another 2 or so months at best, what sticker is best?

        I’m also going to replace the emblems that are removable with Luigi logos and add bear resist stickers but…I dunno.

        Thing is, any damage done could potentially lengthen the time until I can exit.

        Fuck Elon. I hope he gets cancer.

          There’s lots of “I bought this before I knew he was crazy” variants out there.

          But if you’re really committed and want to design something unique, I’ll laser engrave it on something for you for free. I can do plastics, wood, and metal that can be attached with glue or magnets. Or I can laze a template for you if you’d like to paint it on.

    If you weren’t already boycotting everything Elon touches what the fuck is wrong with you?

    The showrooms are still standing, so I don’t think the Yankees are protesting hard enough.

    They should call the French.

      Considering the number of “the French give up” jokes made by Americans I find it hilarious that Americans won’t even try in the first place. I know who the real losers are.

        Well…If the French hadnt assisted the Americans in their revolution, the English would have kept them as a colony and we wouldnt all be in this mess right now.

    My question really, who is buying tesla’s these days, and is that even a noteworthy percentage of musks income these days.

    Honestly it looks to me like musk is just adapting to leaching off the government anyway. Also throwing in the pivot of basically getting trump to commit to buying (Edit due to incorrect information:) Vehicles from tesla for military use. I mean yes absolutely don’t give him the extra stream of income… but, but I can’t help but feel this is rather toothless.

      Musk’s net worth is largely tied to Tesla’s market cap. Most of his wealth is in those shares

      Make the brand extremely toxic and start affecting the share price. People are investing in the company not for logical reasons, but primarily emotional ones. People seeing mass anger and protest of Teslas hit the emotion part

      commit to buying military cybertrucks

      I just want to be clear that they order was for armored Teslas in general, not specifically Cybertrucks.

      Armored vehicles tend to be standard vehicles retrofitted with armor. This could mean any model of Tesla, not specifically the Cybertruck, especially since Musk already suspended Cybertruck production at the end of 2024.

      I just keep seeing repeat that it’s going to be Cybertrucks but literally the evidence does not bear out it being Cybertrucks, especially since production of Cybertrucks was already suspended.

      EDIT:

      Also, assuming it’s a Cybertruck is literally buying into and re-enforcing the marketing of the Cybertruck being a powerful armored vehicle to begin with. We all know that’s not true.

        Valid point, though still key point is… They are getting the US government to buy tesla’s… which helps take some of the load off needing consumers to buy them.
