It is not illegal for consumers to boycott companies. The Supreme Court in 1982 ruled the First Amendment protects Americans’ rights to protest private businesses.

Nice! Turn teslas into rolling MAGA bumper stickers!
What I love about this that it already takes twice as much to insure a model Y to my comparably sized EV. if Teslas are gonna get disproportionately vandalized I wouldn’t be shocked if insurance premiums will go up further. So even if the cars value drops, the movement can still offset that with increasing the cost of ownership.
I’m kind of hoping that between MAGA bros buying Teslas to support Musk and leftists buying other EVs because it’s better for the environment we’ll effectively retire internal combustion engines.
Yeah, that will happen because someone will have to buy up the devaluing used Tesla stock for cheap. My schadenfreude comes from thinking about how surprised they will be when they realize their insurance premiums are up.
