To be fair, the dealership process is fucking awful. Going direct to consumer is a much better experience.

Who likes car dealerships? I'm sure there is a lot of lobbying and donations that happen to accomplish protecting them. But musk is an ass, so screw him.

Don't like Musk, don't like billionaires buying judges, but those laws that prevent car manufacturers from selling directly to customers are protectionist BULLSHIT and should be repealed yesterday. Any time the government is *forcing* you to deal with an unnecessary middleman, that's a bad law.

elon musk always puts his money where his interests lie. only the chinese and the russian governments he won’t challenge. conservatives in america were easy targets because money trumps patriotism. they were easily bought by anyone who had enough money.

That assumes people from Wisconsin will want to buy his shitty cars.

Now we have the answer. Wisconsin needs to stand firm against further erosion of our constitutional rights, protect voting rights, protect reproductive freedom. Vote Crawford.

Keep Musk out of Wisconsin’s business!

Billionaire oligarchs, like Musk, shouldn't be allowed to buy elections as he does. That Citizen's United decision is the worst, most consequential one, since Dred Scott. It was only a matter of time before our democratic traditions were overrun by oligarchs' money. Cap campaign spending.

Susan should support ev dealerships even if its elons, yes?

Looks like the Founding Fathers forgot to Musk-proof the Constitution against predatory billionaires.

Big Sale: Wisconsin Supreme Court

World’s richest man is buying an election.
Big cash payments to influence selection.
GOP can’t win with no cash protection.
Democracy replaced by massive corruption.

The hatred towards Musk should override his financial influence

Musk trying to buy off a judge should be front and centre of the Dem campaign. Just hammer that every day.

So Musk throws millions again to bribe and steal elections? Wasn't once enough? Is there no supreme court supposed to stop stuff like this?
