    Hear me out. Tesla makes (or at least made) innovative cars, they persued their vision of electric vehicles and made EVs a commonplace option for the average consumer. They needed Musk’s capital to do that. They are still capable of doing great things… But not with Elon at the helm. The best thing we can do, even if you like your Model 3, or even your damn Cybertruck, is to get Elon out of Tesla.

    That means boycotts. Don’t use their chargers, don’t rent or buy their cars, don’t subscribe to their full-self driving, and black them out on social media.

      Even if Musk gets fired, he’ll still own a huge percentage of the stock. If the goal is to hurt his net worth, then the boycott shouldn’t end with his dismissal.

        Agreed. He should be separated from shares (imho) before any person should feel good about helping out Tesla.

      Yeah I got a tesla and still retain my stocks in tesla from years back. Ever since I realized how shitty Elon is, I haven’t bought any more. Though, I haven’t pulled out either because elon can be replaced, and I think the company is still capable of innovation.

        I’m not really qualified to give stock advice, but from what I understand, Tesla’s stock price is seriously over-valued for what they produce, and a large chunk of it’s price is speculation on what Elon is going to do. When it becomes clear to even the dumbest investor that Elon is toxic, that shit is going to tumble fast. IMO, it’s a big wave that has to crash down at some point. Sell high.

        Not a stock market expert though, talk to someone who knows their shit about it.
