I think Tesla sales have hit a tipping point. As long as Musk is involved their sales will continue to drop. I see so many people just flipping off the cars now it’s actually kind of sad*.
Just curious about when are Americans going to rise up and do what actually needs to happen when dictators threaten democracy? I mean yr whole deal is having lots of guns so I feel like (without recommending violence of course except as a very last resort) at least grab your pitchforks and get busy.
Most don’t want to go to prison, lose their families or die… that’s why. This whimpering idiot replying below is attempting to dehumanize Americans, so take anything he says with a grain of salt.
Of course, and that’s always been true in every attempted authoritarian takeover, until not pushing back becomes more dangerous than traditional resistance. I mean, children are dying of eradicated diseases.
What I said about moving past polite disagreement goes for the International community as much as for Americans. Wherever we are we can hand wring and throw accusations, but I’m seeing brave, angry people in the streets in the US every day. They’re supported by the majority people all over the world
US Citizens (i stopped calling them americans) are no heroes. They dont fight for liberty or democracy. As long as they have Cheeseburgers and Netflix, they are at ease.
I mean a lot of people have cheeseburgers and Netflix. And I’m seeing a lot of angry people in the US. They need to realise there’s a moment when it becomes necessary for words become actions because these Tdump sociopaths are going to kill everyone if they aren’t stopped.
Yes, but that moment will never come. They are angry.. and they buy another Cheeseburger against that anger. Another Netflix show against the grief. Thats todays society in the USA. The glorious times of the US citizen as an educated and concious person who cares about the society, are long gone.
If you’re so brave, then why haven’t you gotten off your lazy arse and done something? Because you’re just a lazy keyboard warrior stuffing burgers down your gullet while insulting people on the internet?
You see...i am right. Thats the reason why the US citizens will never raise up for their freedom. They just dont have it any more as a society. Talking with a US citizen about liberty is like talking with a roman about Julius Cesar...in the year 450...
I've been listening to the revolutions podcast lately and one of the most clear things I've gotten is that it never is one thing that kicks it off, but usually it's food cost. Americans have gotten very used to diverse food at the market which is why Trump keeps soft on mexico who is delivering it.
Trump says he will label violence against Tesla dealers domestic terrorism. What was Jan 06 then? The taxpayers have never been informed of that expense, the property damage, loss of lives, law suits, etc etc. That was domestic terrorism. What was the cost? We should be informed.
Yeah, but remember, they are just lying in wait for the Left to do stuff like that so they can come down like a ton of bricks on all our rights.
Don’t resort to vandalism and violence. That one trick pony belongs to MAGA, don’t debase yourselves to their level. Protest, yes, sure.
But don’t destroy
Well half of the value of the stock have vanished for now.. And almost all face value of the Tesla brand... And Mr. Elvis buing EV that he dont like is like importing rapist Tate while talking that he gets rapists out of country or releasing drug lord from prison while talking hes fighting fentanyl.
Americans. Follow your president. Sell your current vehicles, a tv, take a second Mortgage on the house and sell a kid or two. Gotta do your part to make the rich richer !
It's fraud waste and abuse to be doing a Tesla commercial at the White House on America's dime and time. Obviously Trump has forgotten that the economy is failing right now and it's all his fault. We know why he didn't swear on the Bible while he took his oath of office this time.. beyond shameful!
Don't buy anything unless it's an absolute necessity. Most of us have more than we need. If they're going to starve us, then we're going to starve them.
Trump and Musk are messing with the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. If they keep it up, these Tesla protests will look like Girl Scout jamboree’s compared to what may come next.
Not just Americans. Trump’s tariffs, his attempts to take away state sovereignty over corporations and Musk’s destruction of US government departments affect everyone.
That’s exactly what me and some friends were talking about!!! Tesla will never recover from the “Trump Touch”, and once he leaves office you better believe every contract Muskrat has with the government will be scrutinized and let the millions of dollars in fine begin!!!
I don’t think this will have any affect on maga voters but it couldn’t be any more crystal clear at this point. They either support our constitution or they support billionaires.
As if he cares about ethics. As if anyone in govt does. They are all crooks, each to their own degree. Not to mention scotus. There ethics is on a different cloud.
Doesnt matter. The american state and the american nation are so weak nowadays, Trump could rape Taylor Swift on the lawn of the White House in broad daylight, he would go without any consequences.
So they are trying to fight the idea that Tesla is a symbol of the current fascist government by literally having the leader of the current fascist government endorse it publicly and making sure it’s a nice shade of arm band red…
and dont fall for those "i got this BEFORE i knew elon was a moron" type stickers. most people are just using those so people dont mess with their vehicals. they are def still supporting him by keeping their swazticars
MuskRat: Gee, I lost a bunch of $, bro
MouseTurd: There will be some pain.
MuskRat: Could you help? Please, please, please.
MouseTurd: We could sell cars from the lawn.
MuskRat: Let's start there.
MouseTurd: What?
Europeans will not screw with your software (USA blocked the jammers of F-16s in Ukraine!) and we will not build locked-in loaders (Eutelsat is rushing to replace Starlink in Ukraine), so overall a much safer option.
Some folks where I’m at use their truck to actually tow something… at least when it comes to an 80-100k truck. They can usually afford an RV and/or jet skis or something.
If anyone is considering a Tesla,...
Also consider how many middle fingers you will see as you drive,... And who may be in the car with you?
It could be awkward.
We have a Lexus hybrid. I wouldn't go full EV and the hybrid is great. So many charging stations are Musk owned so full EV still puts one reliant on a fascist.
The midlife crisis demographic still buys cyberstucks, but they maxed out on that market. There are so many of their hatchbacks that there’s overstock now.
For sure, though I think it's questionable whether he's "using his public office" in this instance. There's a much better case with the FAA/SpaceX stuff imo
> The Hatch Act of 1939 is a federal law that prohibits civil-service employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president and vice president, from engaging in some forms of political activity.
Any White House staff that helped set up or work the event would still be violating it, and it's not logistically possible that Trump and Vance ran this event at the White House with no work performed by civil-service employees.
Well sure, and the White House violated the Hatch Act with no consequences during Trump's first term too. That doesn't make their actions legal, though
The Hatch Act doesn't constrain the President or VP much.
It doesn't look like it has any exceptions for the DOGE service,
or the President's official henchpeople (like Flynn and Manafort were.)
The Hatch Act prevents government employees from politicking on government time. It doesn't prevent a sitting president from hawking a consumer product. Self-respect used to do that, but, well ...
It probably is a Hatch Act violation, but no one stopped him when he violated it during his first term either. There's always so much other wreckage to look at - a monster of misdirection!
Evidently all of DOJ is occupied with intervening in unrelated criminal actions against Jan 6 insurrectionists to assert that Drumpfs pardons cover all past and future crimes. They cannot be expected to prosecute crimes.
Since when did this administration care about violating laws? Trump and Musk are happy to fly close to the sun with their big paper wings. They will eventually be their own undoing. I just hope we aren’t all taken down with them.
When a Musk Co is boycotted, he doesn't try to make a better product, he sues or gets the government involved. Absolutely pathetic. And people look up to him?
I guess since America is obsessed with gambling now place your bets on which will be Trump’s 7th bankruptcy: America or Tesla. Let’s make it the latter.
Tesla is low hanging rotting fruit. People are always saying "but what can I do?"
Well, take Tesla down. It's easy. It in the process of committing suicide anyway. I have a good car, you should too.

U can see how FA$CI$T the Agolf🏌️♂️🤚Trump regime is when we see #IMPOTUS47 hawking Musk’s #Swastikars like the USED CAR SALESMAN he should be — reminds us of how Adolf Hitler promo’ed Volkswagens‼️
Only problem 4 #FelonDon & #FelonMusk is #Tesla customers r even driving #Cyberfuqks in2 🌊Ventura Harbor‼️
A leader using power to prop up a failing business isn’t leadership—it’s corruption in real time. Ethics laws? Ignored. The Hatch Act? Shredded. When the highest office is for sale, democracy is the price. The question is: will anyone stop it?
? I'd never buy a Tesla, but to be fair this model (S) is pretty safe in terms of crash test results, and the model Y is one of the safest cars in the world in a crash. I don't know about the 3, X, or cybertruck.
If you are thinking the AutoPilot is unsafe if it is misused, on that I fully agree.
I neither sell nor want to buy Teslas. IMO they aren't reliable. I concluded Elon was a lying douchebag a decade ago, when the world still thought he was "genius Iron Man." I even shorted TSLA
But the Model Y does have a high crash rating. Sorry if stating facts offends you.
I can't respond to your screenshot because you don't give your source, or context. But it looks like that is a stat for all Teslas, not the Model S specifically, and it's just talking about fatalities for any reason. I already told you that Teslas become much less safe when morons trust autopilot.
Again, I was talking about the Model S, what's in the photo with Trump that you captioned. I explicitly said I was not talking about the cybertruck. Which I personally consider a monstrosity by almost any measure
FYI the Model S predates Elon's takeover of the company, it's Martin Eberhard's design
Today at the WH, Trump showed us more of his Moronic Virtue. He spent a great deal of his campaign, expounding against electric vehicles. Now, Trump has turned into a Tesla salesperson.
How much more degrading to the Presidency this action could be?
Now Elon cries. He has abandoned his own businesses just because of his big heart?
Buying the idea of Elon’s pain is as stupid as it can be.
Who can show me a person who neglects his personal interests on behalf of somebody else’s, and does not expect some kind of reward? No hands up?
Then we'll have to say things like "Elon musk is a genius who's cars never explode and women genuinely like to be around him without even being paid millions"
The only way to save Tesla is to have MAGA buy them. Maybe they will but that would be fine. They would die a little inside to buy an electric car and give up their gas trucks. I just don’t see that happening.
Where I live it has already happened somewhat. I don't think any of these people used to vandalize the charging stations but I'm sure one or two of them have
Pick any post with “Musk”and “Trump” included, and especially if it’s painting then as losers, and it brings the MAGA fanboys out of their caves. Once identified, they can be blocked.
Taking bets on how many days before there's a gold Trump Tesla that you can buy for twice the price, with the profit going to, you know, the orange one.
Yes. I guess we are suppose to show empathy to the man who called us “parasites”. The right applauds the firing of thousands of civil servants. Ask not what the oligarchs can do for you, but what can you do for them.
I think it's likely the protests will grow after DT's and EM's stunt. Which of DT's voters in red states does he think will buy those cars, especially the so easily mocked stainless steel monstrosity?
Almost all of the Tesla's sold in Australia are made in China. I haven't heard they Elon is planning on moving Tesla production in China and Germany back to the USA.
Please dont tell me trumps incessant yelling about china this, china that, has left wing americans actually thinking somethign coming from china is bad.
Not necessarily; however, if you believe Xi Jinping and his no-limits relationship with Vladimir Putin has the US' or the Western world's best interests in mind, I have some bargain-priced eggs for sale.
Any Magat you run into make sure you ask. Bro wheres your Tesla? If you support Trump u need one. Ask about the Elon balls scented air freshener like the president likes. A decade of shitting on ev's and the Sitting president of the united states did a commercial.

What you aren't seeing is the rest of the world organising America out of the control it took after ww2.
We have never been comfortable with it and trump coming back again is the final straw
Oil will soon be sold in euros.
I'm sure American Auto Manufacturers are.

Looking for central Illinois peeps to help protest the Bloomington dealership!
#TeslaTakedown
All part of the plan..
i expect they will balloon in size this weekend
Gulf of Taco Bell has a nice ring to it.
Theres no sheriff in town to enforce the rules of law...that's the problem!
Good thing I can't physically do such a thing, but still, the urge is rising.
No safety for nazis

He’s good at the FA,
NOT so good at dealing with FO.

Liberals don't want anything to do with Elon.
MAGA doesn't believe in climate change and loves burning fossil fuels.
They have killed the market at both ends.
Also consider how many middle fingers you will see as you drive,... And who may be in the car with you?

If pressed - Trump will simply lie and say nobody at the White House helped him. Serious question - then what?
My answer as a non-lawyer is... nada. And I'm 100% certain of that.

evangelical fundamentalists white nationalists churches
have been warning about the man of sin" and "son of perdition.
And when he appears, they elect him president.

They can barely stop all the peaceful protests going on. It’s not happening. We are too stubborn.
They can threaten to illegalize any and all protest forms. They can’t do that. They just can’t. It’s impossible, even with their narrow thin majority.
