Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nope. Protesting is meant to be disruptive. Making tesla owners uncomfortable is the only way to take elon down.
Crazy take. You dont have agency to address real issues (money in politics, correctly taxing gains, lack of good leadership and social infrastructure) so lets lash out at other wage earners who have more in common with you.
Does that apply to strikes too? 'Crazy take. You don't have agency to address real issues (setting wages) so let's lash out at other wage earners (customers) who have more in common with you.
You think Elon gives a fuck about Tesla owners? He is swimming tax payer dollars for his other ventures. Military and space $$ dwarf car sales. He doesn't give two shits about Tesla and knows other companies are going to take away most of his market share.
That's why all the new shit promised is not happening. It's not being funded.
He borrows against Tesla all the time, it would at least inconvenience him to not have convenient collateral for huge loans.
If resale value tanks because nobody wants to drive the car, musk gets deposed
Resale is irrelevant. First sale, new, is Al that affects Elon.
Do the public art, like the 0 to 1939 ads in London. It’s part of the landscape, vandalizes nothing, and is highly visible messaging.
Ads work or they wouldn’t be on display. Use the same type of playbook with public art in this vein
If the used market is saturated, nobody will buy new ones.
Resale $$ do not impact Musk. He has already picking the bones oft Tesla. Harassing people who are stuck with one doesn't affect Musk at all. In fact it helps him because he can play the martyr and get people who are harassed hating on "the lefties".
