    Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence

    There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist

      The guy is a welfare queen who thinks he’s a hero from one of Ayn Rand’s horrible sci-fi novels.

      It’s too bad he’ll be able to send more money to his companies because he bought little d.

        Tesla share price is largely off of vibes, not how the company is actually doing. Boycotts and protests hurt the vibes more than the Trump money slush fund helps the vibes

        If it was prices like every other automaker based on profit, it’d be enormously lower in price than it is

          Oh, I don’t doubt it for a minute. I’ve been giving that P/E ratio side-eye for years and years and I have no idea why people were wanting to buy some meme stock at ATHs because they just saw it go up (well, I do know, that’s largely how human psychology works, I guess. FOMO and figuring that looking in the rear view mirror is a great way to buy stock).

          VW has an EV, P/E ratio in single digits now, though it has apparently spiked in 2016 to triple digits. Ford also has an EV, same thing, P/E ratio of single digits, though they have crept up to double digits in the not too distant past.

          P/E ratio of TSLA in March 7, 2025 - 161.23. That’s still insane, but if you look back, they had P/E ratio over a 1100!

          It gets even worse when you watch videos like the ones thunderf00t has put out there on fElon…

      Tesla wealth is what he’d been leveraging for a lot of the rest of the companies, too.
