TESLA TAKEDOWN​

A Peaceful Protest Movement​

​

Sell Your Teslas​

Dump Your Stock​

Stop Musk Now​

Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk.

Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us
​

Yup - they want to destroy a privately owned company because the CEO is part of a specific political party. Harming Telsa harms thousands of American Jobs and millions of people pensions - Destroying people lives for a political motive.

Personally, I don't see this as any different from any other boycott. Like Bud Light and Target. I would prefer this over fire bombing cars.

So no explanation at all?

The absurd p/e number demonstrates the stocks value isn’t based on a real world metric.

 

[FAITH-IN-HIM]

The exact same issue I had with conservative boycotting Bud Light -

Except no one burned Bud Light Trucks - Doxxed people who purchased Bud Light Spray painted Bud light displays nor set fires to stores that carried Bud Light.

That is EXACTLY what I disagree with and to deny it is happening is not based in reality. The radical left has a lengthening history of calling violent protesting peaceful. And that is demonstrably true.

I stand with you in condemning violence or destroying property.

I wrote this in your other thread, no individual in America should fear retaliation for their political support or affiliation. We must not only condemn violence and property destruction but also hold the perpetrators accountable, regardless of their political party.

However, every American has the right to protest against a company, provided they are protesting within the bounds of law. Americans also have the right to advise others on which companies to support or avoid. I support conservatives who decided to change their beer brand from Bud Light to another option, just as I support liberals who chose not to purchase Tesla products.

Tesla is clearly off to a rough start this year, but let's keep everything in perspective.

Obviously, it remains to be seen what will happen in the long-term.

Gee, what happened in January?

People making choices with their money does not look intimidating to me.

 

[Vambram]

I'm still not believing the stuff y'all are saying about Musk's so-called Nazi salute.

Then what is it based on?

 

[ozso]

I'm still not believing the stuff y'all are saying about Musk's so-called Nazi salute.

Likely most insisting he intentionally gave a nazi salute, know he really didn't, but it's too juicy to let it go of.

 

[Desk trauma]

Then what is it based on?

As I said, musk’s ability to sell vaporware.

 

[BPPLEE]

Yep they only have to knock him down $115 billion to get him there. And what's even funnier is he probably wouldn't care.

Pollster Mark Mitchell says Elon Musk has a HIGHER Approval Rating than ANY Democrat, Leftists Destroying Teslas are like Confederates: "Elon has a higher favorability than any Democrat. Elon is only a couple points behind Trump. The Left is acting like Confederates."

Likely most insisting he intentionally gave a nazi salute, know he really didn't, but it's too juicy to let it go of.

I would not attend a business meeting and raise my ring finger for everyone to see. This is not because raising the ring finger is inherently bad, but some might misinterpret which finger I am raising. Those who desire to live in a peaceful society conduct themselves with consideration every day. Sometimes we adjust our speech, sometimes we alter how we turn our head when conversing, sometimes we position our hands appropriately while speaking. It is all about conveying a message to others.

It is possible that Musk did not perform a Nazi salute. However, millions around the world interpreted his gesture in that manner. Musk was aware that billions of people watching the inauguration around the world and they would see the gesture and chose an ambiguous gesture that could be perceived negatively.

You have the right not to view Musk's salute as Nazi, but others have the right to see it differently and choose not to buy Tesla or its stock.

Musk might value his political beliefs more than his billions, which is commendable. He has the right to express his opinions in any manner he chooses, and to support any political party or president he prefers. This is his right, similar to how everyone has the right to buy or sell Tesla stocks.

"Altogether, the three board members are set to sell 1,126,433 common shares of the EV king. At the current Tesla share price of $262.51, this results in a total sale consideration of $295.70 million." One of those insiders is Musk's brother. Why should we care that much about one company over another? Perhaps we should favor those that keep jobs in America but lots of car manufacturers do that. Tesla's an international company they are taking a hit both in economic times and in higher competition. Just as conservatives acted to Bud Light, liberals are acting with Tesla. I do hope that they stop the fires and violent tactics though. Those are crimes and always should be punished as such.

The Left is acting like Confederates."

Which is funny considering every confederate flag I have seen from Arkansas to Virginia to Michigan has been flying over Republican owned homes in red counties.

 

[ozso]

I think it's pretty funny how those who wanted more people driving Teslas to help save the environment, are now saying forget the environment.

I don't see them anymore.

Who said that?

 

[ozso]

Who said that?

I was speaking figuratively.

 

[Desk trauma]

I was speaking figuratively.

No one said it then?

 

[ozso]

No one said it then?

They might as well have. As seen in Mark Kelly trading in his Tesla for a Chevy SUV. Hilarious.

 

[DaisyDay]

Only time will tell.

I do find the dynamics of this boycott interesting. I mean, just a few short months ago, liberals loved Teslas.

You're talking about Tesla's cars. Who was it that loved Teslas? Seemed to me more tech-bro and finance-bro type people who bought into the hype and really loved the overpriced, flashy hipster crap, especially as soon as only a few months ago. The Cybertrucks are more Edselly than Edsels were.

Liberals in general, liked that Teslas were EV, but not so more than other cars. Now, it seems, other EVs have overtaken Tesla in terms of reliability, affordability, driving range, charging time and overall value.

As for Tesla's other products, well, the solar shingle fiasco soured me on the company. They bought up the only solar panel installer in my area, but they were not able to deal with the town bureaucracy here successfully. Tesla's robots are kind of stupid, being people in robot suits or controlled by the Man Behind the Curtain. The auto-driving is not .... ideal and cars without pedals or driving wheels, with an entirely electronic driveshaft replacing the mechanical system, seem more fantastical than practical or realistic.

It was kind of like a liberal elite status symbol that you cared about the planet.

Was it a "liberal elite" or just "elite elite" status symbol? Was it because you cared about the planet or you wanted to be cool like Elon? Honestly, I'm not much of a car status person so I don't know/care much about things.

And now they can't stand them and are literally burning them (harming the planet in the process).

Yeah, somehow I haven't noticed that your "liberal elites" are the ones throwing firebombs. Even anti-Maga doesn't translate to "liberal elite" although the category surely includes some of them.

Elon's current illegal government dismantling has upset some non-liberal elites as well as more than a few liberal non-elites.

I just wonder how much staying power the boycott has.

It's more than politics. Tesla as a car brand and as an innovative company has lost its luster. Musk and Tesla has been unfavorably compared to Elisabeth Holmes and Enron.

Usually people tire out and will separate the person from the object. Even if they disagree with Musk's politics, if they like the car, they'll likely still buy it.

What has the man brought to the object? Hype and marketing as well as a spectacularly badly designed truck.

At least after the loonies stop threatening to vandalize and fire bomb them.

That part will probably fade out fast in the face of hard prosecutions and newer, shinier objects.
