Stop buying Tesla. If you have one, sell it and buy a competitor. That's how you hurt Elon Musk. It's all about money. Other billionaires will take note.

Yes, stop buying new ones now but there's no point selling a Tesla if you are currently already making payments for one. Not everyone who invests in a vehicle for whatever reason, can just offload it.
My friend bought one years ago and on his first outing the door handle broke off. How does a car leave the factory floor with such poor quality control?
Yes, and there has been some organization too to affect all of our billionaires like do not order anything from Amazon. On a specific day every week I think it’s Wednesday they’re thinking about.. telling women to spend no money on Wednesdays. We can get them where it hurts.
All democrats should start statements with, “what are Elon Musk and Republicans…” doing with American’s tax information? financial information? doing to pay for US goods that were bought for USAID? to make sure cancer research continues? Pair the republicans with Musk
Also make faces at anyone who drives Tesla. I don't usually subscribe to this method but I make exceptions when the person who owns Tesla the company is a neo-confederate white nationalist apartheid regime mysoginistic psychopath who is destroying my country.
That's right, hurt an American car company and all its workers because you hate the idiot billionaire CEO! Cancel culture is what put Trump back in the White House. And it won't hurt Musk any more than canceling your Amazon Prime will hurt Bezos.
A glut of used Tesla cars on the market will force Musk to lower prices to move new cars. If Tesla starts losing money, institutional investors will pull money out of the stock. This is a long game. Everyone can play a role.
Ooops. Sorry! Elon no longer in charge at Tesla. He was kicked off the board. He owns less shares of tesla stock
Way to hurt elon financially is what NY state did to trump- civil lawsuits&banned NY banks from working w trump. end elon WELFARE checks FROM taxpayers- he gets billion$ from DOD
The tech baron turned kingmaker teams with the street fighter turned autocrat. The playing field? A digital colosseum where politics is a blood sport. But who's playing whom? What's the end game?
I try my best to give Rod's take on this.
Agree or not, that's ok but it's well worth the read...
I have a Kia EV6 and it's the first car I've ever really loved. Like any car, it's got a few issues, but I haven't had to have any service beyond your rotations in the 2 years I've had it. And it's extremely fun to drive.
Basically the same for me. Air in the tires, tire rotation, a couple quick recalls. No other services and nothing that needed to be fixed in over 31k miles. (Even the tires are holding up well)
My point is that my car is excellent and very reliable. You said they weren't.
Not a single person in this direct thread vilified Tesla owners. There's no reason for you to be so upset about people saying they like their cars and that, going forward, voting with dollars sends a strong message.
Please stop this. Don’t flip me off bc I drive a Tesla. I didn’t want my Volt to totaled. I wanted other cars but needed 100% financing. Tesla was the only 1 that had the right price for the bank. I’m broke, upside down, & can’t . I have deeper things to worry about and don’t want my car vandalized.
We bought a Rivian, selling our Tesla that we’ve had since 2019. None of it matters though, his company is ONLY profitable from selling emissions credits. And that’s the only reason investors haven’t downgraded it. So Congress would need to revoke those tax incentives to actually hit him.
The market cap of Tesla is way out of proportion: its products are not selling well, the core of its revenue comes from regulatory transfers from the other car companies. The fact it has already sort of died as a company and has a 1.2T cap (GM is under 50B) is a systemic indictment.
I have a 2018. I can not afford to buy another car right now. All the joy of owning it is gone. Trust me, as long as Elon is the face of Tesla, I will never buy another one. Musk betrayed all of us.
Serious question: Is it hard to offload a used Tesla without losing a lot of money right now? I’m in Chicago and see a lot of Teslas. Assume drivers are Nazis unless proven otherwise but probably some of them cannot afford to sell. I sure hope there are fewer in a few months…
No! Lots of people bought Teslas as an alternative to fossil fuels and everyone I know bought them before Musk became king. Now, cybertrucks are different.😉
He’s so insulated by obscene wealth that I don’t believe it’s possible to hurt him financially. He lost billions on the Twitter deal, and he didn’t even flinch.
Two men parked in front of my grocery leaning on a Tesla “My kids won’t ride with me in the Tesla” “I can’t even get Blue Book now” “ someone vandalized one with a swastika” “All the new EVs will be tariff added?”
If I was in a financial position to do that I would. I’m not right now.
That said, I did buy it second hand and I charge at home and have never actually paid for charging with Tesla (none near me before and better options now).
So while I hate that I own it, he hasn’t ever profited from me.
My trans kids best friend works for Tesla in San Jose. This person is extremely smart and they have degrees from you know Ivy League schools and my trans kid ask them like like can you still keep working for them and their response as well I don’t want to work for you know Defense industries.
Bought a Cupra - fantastic to drive! Couldn’t even face a Tesla charger, although well priced. Would have🤮 every time I charged the car. Never used Amazon either.
Ok, I have a Tesla. I’m a Black woman, so not a Nazi. I have been looking for alternatives for years; he has the best all-electric car. I don’t want an SUV. Tesla car has all the features I want. So until there’s a reasonable substitute, here I am.
I have now booked three test drives. My next one is Friday morning, should I let him down gently? Work "my heart goes out to you" into the conversation? Not sure.
He has borrowed against the value of his shares to get access to cash or to buy more shares. A substantial decline in $TSLA share price would require him to sell shares to meet margin calls, sales trigger tax liabilities. He’ll still be rich but much less so.
To help kickstart this I think we need to push hard on Tesla drivers. Flip them off while driving, educate people who drive them, and don’t let Teslas park in your driveway. At my house Teslas are not welcome. It may sound harsh but desperate times call for aggressive action.
We really like it! It’s very truck-like and feels way more rugged / heavy-duty than the X. And no stupid gull wing doors. 400+ miles to a full charge is also great!
#BoycottTesla Don't buy new Teslas. If you use Uber then don't accept a ride from a Tesla. Much of the Uber fleet is rented and if you remove demand for those rides then that will hurt the bottom line. If you can avoid charging with Tesla don't charge with them.
Leave Twitter. Don’t buy, or rent, or hell - don’t even ride in, a Tesla…. He can live off the interest of his billions, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna give him any of my money…
Highly recommend Kia EV6 as replacement. Great tech features. Lots of speed. Approx 385 mi per charge. Go for a test drive. I have mine for nearly a year and love it.

Hit them where it hurts.
So you just take a huge financial hit to potentially hurt lease resale value. Seems like a solid investment. Let me sign right up for that because Elon is an asshole.
Agreed. And while it is likely impossible to just cut out support for all the companies that are behind the Orange Oompah Loompah, every little bit helps. If enough people shift their purchasing power collectively, IT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 👍
It is time to hit their pockets. A general work strike can do it. Stock up on the foods, meds, supplies you need to make it a week without leaving your home. I guarantee they will take notice. End this BS with Funk and the Apartheid Squad taking over the government.
I don’t want to hurt Musk, I want him out of this lofty place trump put him in. Musk put trump in the office, his payment is having a grand time destroying what was once the ideal of democracy. Get him out, faster the better, out.

SO glad I didn't buy a Tesla!
Tesla. What’s your point? I’ve had 0 issues and no tires changed since 2022. Anecdotal evidence is pointless.
Not all Tesla owners are the enemy. Stop vilifying customers. Don’t you see that’s what they want?
Not a single person in this direct thread vilified Tesla owners. There's no reason for you to be so upset about people saying they like their cars and that, going forward, voting with dollars sends a strong message.
F-elon’s shares are worth more than the trillions that he will steal from Americans, that might hurt him.
I won't accept a Tesla as a gift much less willingly ever ride in one.
That said, I did buy it second hand and I charge at home and have never actually paid for charging with Tesla (none near me before and better options now).
So while I hate that I own it, he hasn’t ever profited from me.
I feel like an actual letter is needed rather than an email.
Spend your money elsewhere.
They all have competitors.
Start with Amazon.
I will NEVER drive a Tesla . . .
... let alone buy one - EVER !
FACK Musk - FACK Tesla

(I haven’t done the sums but I’m confident the vibe holds up)
I'm embarrassed every time I drive my 2017 model, so i have this in the window:
They already have your money
Just don’t charge at their station & don’t buy a new one

These are the companies/persons who funded Trump's campaign and/inauguration.

on resale value, you push that down you kill sales
