    But other Tesla models are still selling much better than the Nazitruck. If we want to make a point and make a dent in Musk’s profits as he strips our country for scrap metal and fires everyone, we need to discourage people from associating with anything that gives the bastard more money/power.

      You have my full support and i fully agree on your last point but in nuance Tesla could go bankrupt and Musks wealth will hardly make a dent. With a budget of spending a mil a day it would still take centuries to blow trough all his money.

        Isn’t most of his wealth in stocks? If investors think Tesla is a bad stock (because no one will buy the cars), then Musk is poor.

          Actually you are correct. I thought i had found a number for his liquid money but it wasn’t.

          Also got a bit hung up on his stake in Tesla being just 13% but with Tesla being valued at ~900B thats still over ~100B of his ~320B “value”

          Yes it is, and crashing Tesla stock will certainly make him less rich. He still has his other shit companies, so crashing Tesla stocks alone won’t make him poor, but we might not have to hear quite so much about him.

            Tesla and space x are the big ones.

              Agreed, and a big advertisor exodus from Twitter would help.

        It’s not about denting his money, it’s about denting his image. Let the free market see he’s toxic, and that will send ripples to places even Republicans care about: their wallets. Specifically, it can impact Tesla stock.

      Yeah but I bought a used model 3 a couple years ago and I really like it :( I don’t want one nazi asshole to ruin it for me but it’s a losing battle. I reserved an Aptera 2 or 3 years ago and I was hoping to not get another car until that’s ready.
