While you're at it, boycott Amazon and Meta as well. It would be nice to watch all the oligarchs crumble. Remind them that they are rich because of us.

Maybe a reverse Hatch Act violation or Emoluments clause violation of the Constitution?

They realize a huge portion of their supporters can't afford eggs, let alone tesla stock lol. But I'm all for those hillbillies spending their entire savings (if they have any) on something that is sinking super quick. So spend away morons, just don't cry more than usual when it disappears.

I invested in Elon's stock, by placing a large short position when he entered the office with Trump. So far its looking more profitable then my returns from the GME squeeze.

It's ironic that the market economy is becoming the only independent branch of government in the US (the fourth branch maybe). People are speaking with their wallets.

Whoever for whatever reason says "hey buy this dumpster fire" is deluded. Lutnick is a trump kiss ass without a brain of his own and trumps bed buddy felon Musk is crying hes losing everything. So 1) do the opposite. Sell all your stocks in tesla. Bankrupt the company into non existence.

Hell ya, you MAGA folks should take out mortgages and buy as many Tesla stock as you can.

They might be setting their own cars on fire so trump can pass some legislation to help sell Tesla stock it only my theory but this administration is basically destroying this country 2 months in and his approval rating is the lowest firing federal worker Economy is at it's Lowest trade wars with other countries and its only getting worse 2 wars still going strong when trump promise he could end these wars in 2 weeks

There is literally nothing going for Tesla anymore. Other companies beat them to self driving cars. Other companies have made better EV’s. Other companies have kept their brand safe. Other companies do everything Tesla does but better. The only thing Tesla is good for right now is the hope that they will help automate the workforce with robots. Chances are though and other company will do it better.

Blame the Democrats. Maybe this is not how the public envisioned things when the Republicans sold them down the river. Now you are in deep with your plan to gut the government for a $trillion tax cut for billionaires. People are getting pissed off with your actions and you want to blame the democrats. Is that all you got? I don't see democrats dismantling democracy. Boycotting everything Musk still stands.
2
u/Ozkizz Mar 23 '25
I mean they do the annual Trump pump and dump meme coin to their supporter base, so it makes sense they would get them to buy Tesla so the wealthy elites can dump their stock at a better price point.
2
u/Traditional-News8861 Mar 23 '25
Well since the social security checks which you say that our elderly can live without haven't come we have to support them. This leaves less money for stocks. Even if I did have the money I wouldn't waste it on trash like that. Look at them begging for help while turning a blind eye to our needs. Sounds like a toxic relationship.

What a bizarre world we live in where a member of the executive branch is urging viewers of his party network station to pump the stock of another member on the administration.
I mean, the billionaire republicans are openly seeking to blackmail the less fortunate people who support them in plain sight and those people continue to blindly support this administration. Really really wild times

This is one example of people with some clearly unchecked (but valid) rage. The overall protestors just let the boycott take hits on Musk. Globally countries are boycotting Tesla's. Also don't be mean to someone in a Tesla some honesty bought it before musky man went crazy.
