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.

Make Tesla owners ashamed
Funny how they preach “the market will regulate itself” until it regulates itself in the “wrong direction”. And all of a sudden something needs to be done by “the government”.
Okay, guess I’m technically not boycotting Tesla. I just straight up can’t afford a car, not in this economy. Nor do I care, because there’s a bus stop just down the street. Not that I’m intimidated by Trump because I’m not American and he can’t prosecute this shit even domestically.
not using twitter counts.
Something something free market?
Soooo … Trump thinks he can force people to buy Teslas? Just like Elon is trying (and failing) to sue companies for not advertising on Twitter.
Nazis helping fund nazis…
So, a boycott is illegal, protest of Tesla outlets is terrorism. Do We the People get to have any say?
Trump: No, and now it’s illegal for you not to like me.
Uh… You still get to choose what you wear… As long as it is on this approved list of companies
And a MAGA cap, of course.
I’m assuming Kanye’s Yeezy trash will be approved by the Ministry of Freedom?
“Mr. Trump, you just attempted to overthrow the government of the Leader of the Free World™️, convinced the supreme court to hand you unlimited authority, and you still got elected president! What are you gonna do now?”
“I’m going to Disneyland!”
They’re panicking. The boycotts are working.
I don’t think they’re panicking, this is how they always behave. Trump is saying a moronic thing again to draw attention from the actual important authoritarian shift onto “what stupid meaningless shit did he say”. It’s the same fucking playbook every time.
This shit is such bottom of the barrel trump antics
He has always cried fowl when anyone is critical
Let alone try to exercise their limited power
If it was one of his businesses I’d agree. But this is bottom of the barrel AND makes him look like a weak little lapdog for Musk.
This is his playbook with politics, business, PR in general
Felon rapist says what?
Even if boycotting were illegal how in the fuck would that be enforceable?
Simple, just put out an EO requiring every citizen to purchase a Tesla.
He’d also need to put out an EO making it illegal to wipe your ass with an EO.
Elon to Trump: “I can’t fund 2026 midterm candidates if Tesla goes broke”
Trump:
Wait what
How the fuck are you gonna force me to buy a Tesla
Haven’t you seen all those cops outside the Tesla shops recently?
I think that even if I wanted to buy anything from Tesla, I would turn around if I saw a bunch of cops outside of it.
Yeah, but they’re really going to have a tough time getting me to put in any financial information if they do arrest my ass and bring me to the Tesla dealership
Especially since no one can afford them.
What part about 0% APR don’t you understand? /s
Establish a federal Bitcoin reserve with tax money.
Have Elon only accept Bitcoin for payments from the government.
Give Tesla another federal contract for billions.
Buy more Bitcoin to replenish it.
I don’t understand how that forces me to buy a Tesla
Do you pay taxes? Do the price of your goods rise because corporations pay taxes?
When the government does something, it was a collective pool of resources that paid for it. When the government buys anything your productivity contributed to the purchase. Everyone’s did.
Are taxes optional (for the working class)?
This is pretty basic stuff fellas.
Isn’t step one or two to implement arbitrary tariffs to fund the reserve?
Tariff money is tax money, it’s the same step.
Someone’s being a pissbaby because nobody wants to buy stuff from fascists. Lul.
This makes me think he just has no idea what a boycott is, because for it to be illegal, purchasing a Tesla would some how have to be legally mandate.
This is probably just a ploy to boost Tesla sales among his followers. And honestly, I’ll play the part of “owned lib” if it transitions MAGAs to EVs. Better than rolling coal.
Don’t give them ideas.
