    While Tesla sales are flagging by as much as 75% year over year, governments are now starting to call for the boycott of the lionizer.

    Watching Republicans carrying water for the world's richest man is not something I expected to see in my lifetime. But I guess that's where we're at

    Dumbest thing ever to get involved with politics.

    Mega(maga?)molaniac.

    Watching these billionaires jockey to hoard is probably the most pathetic display of humanity ever witnessed.

    "Outrage over Elon Musk’s support of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party

    On Saturday, Musk virtually joined an official election campaign for the AfD,

    “Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents or even their great grandparents,” Musk said ahead of Germany’s Feb. 23 election. His remarks came two days before the 80th anniversary of the the liberation of the Nazi camp at Auschwitz.

    They have caused particular offense in Poland — which was the first country to be invaded by Adolf Hitler’s forces at the start of World War II. Poland lost around 6 million people in the war — half of them Jews, many of whom died in Nazi camps like Auschwitz that were sited on its territory. Millions more were rounded up and put to work as forced laborers."


    Poland urges Tesla boycott after Musk’s call to ‘move past’ Nazi guilt – POLITICO

    But are Tesla buyers bothered?

    It’s a toy.

    Yeah, it’s like his ketamine damaged brain can’t see past his nose straw… Not sure how a guy trying to sell cars thinks it’s a good idea to piss off half the country and pretty much all of the rest of the world. If the Tesla board had any balls, they’d run him out,

    they are smart enough to confront misinformation rather than let it be spread freely encouraging hate and division. Brazil too. americu is too stoopid to regulate media so they feed into the fear and hate that drives MAGA with lies and misinformation and half truths. believe it or not, you, and your maga brethren, are the result of a giant misinformation campaign just like some guys in brownshirts a long time ago. villainize the opposition so any measure is justifiable. the sad part this time is you were t old what was happening and oyu still took it hook line and sinker. heck you were told by the republican cabinet memebrs but your blind allegiance to someone who could very well be destroying our country right now is unshaken.

    I have a friend who bought an X … made the down payment before musk went full MAGA… we were talking the other day about how he still gets “coal rolled” by rednecks, and now gets dirty looks from the cool kids…

    I read an article how Tesla truck drivers are getting comments, people flipping them off, etc. Some saying they bought it before Trump/Musk were busy wrecking our country.

    How does he like the truck?

    It’s an X, not the cyber truck, but he loves it. His wife hates it though. They had a couple problems where it acted weird and wouldn’t shift into drive, now she’s afraid to drive it because she thinks she is going to get stranded somewhere. It is a pretty nice car, imo.

    Europe is burying their heads in the sand. They demonize far right politics while turning a blind eye to the muslim invasion that is happening.

    Anyone that thinks Tesla is a car company is living 5 years ago. The humanoids Tesla is about to manufacture will disrupt the labor market and itself has a future value of 10 Trillion. Musk doesn’t care.

    Still thinking too small.

    X.com and visa(global Co.) have a deal. X is registered with FinCEN and has licences in 41 states as a money transmitter. He is building a global WeChat.

    Humanoids will displace the global labor market. A global we chat is nice but it’s a rounding error on revenue when compared to humanoids.

    Tesla’s are stale cars.

    I wouldn’t have much of an issue with him if he was just center right in his ideology, but he’s gone full lunatic fringe and is now considered the biggest megaphone for misinformation, which is intentional.

    I can’t get on board with people like that. They talk about free speech, but what they really mean is free lies.

    My guess is that the richer he got, the less he wanted to be shackled by the laws and societal norms and constraints that we all abide by in order for him to accumulate more wealth, and the easiest path to oligarchy is through the right wing (specifically Trump).

    I am guessing that is anti-LGBT stance is rooted in rejecting his trans daughter.
