Burn their precious money to ashes and you burn their *entire ideology* to ashes. Then they crumble into soot, and we are free.

Fire is pretty. Set them on fire.

I have reduced my Amazon usage by more than half and I also cancelled my WaPo subscription yesterday. It’s been a pain and a little more expensive to change from Amazon for my small business needs, but I’ve done it.

We canceled Amazon Prime and the WaPo yesterday. The bigger challenge will be finding alternative places to buy our handful of weekly Whole Foods items. (And I *need* to keep using the Amazon-owned AbeBooks platform to sell books, alas.)

For online, there’s Fresh Direct, and for in-person, there’s Trader Joe’s? For my preschool’s housekeeping supplies, our local ACE hardware store delivers (!) and we also joined CostCo (which also delivers).

I don't know much about it, but my understanding is that, if Tesla or Musk's value drops too much, he'll have his loans (like for X) called in. That would result in a huge cash crunch and/or the possible sale of X to someone else.

How far would Tesla stock have to plummet? Like lower than $200/share? $150?

shrewd52.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I asked his own AI just now and $100/share is where it suggested he’d potentially be in real trouble.

No one driving a Tesla can be forgiven, as they can sell now for more than they can ever expect in the future. So their decision to hold on to their Elon car is not an economic one, but an ideological alignment with Elon Musk.

uneasywriter.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I dunno, I’ve met a few Tesla owners and they are really attached to their weird cars. Oh well, when the company goes belly up the lack of updates will brick the cars and they’ll be stuck with an expensive toxic lawn ornament.

It's 'Deadwood'. A 20-ish yr old HBO series about an earlier frontier, ruled by petty oligarchs and 'first-ins', that was slightly less brutal and perhaps more innocent then the current situation. Great watch. Lessons to be learned.

he's not, like, literally the *only* donor, but most big business donors went to harris because trump's economic plans will hurt or kill their businesses

No one has ever had an Achilles' heel as obvious as Tesla's bullshit based valuations.
Just rubes falling for "FSD next year!" type bullshit year after year.

jjstoller.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Exactly. It’s an insane outlier stock as far as prices vs actual business metrics. You don’t even need to do much to the actual business so much as just make the market acknowledge reality. Bringing the price down to where it should logically be would be enough to ruin him.

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Miriam Adelson gave over $100 million to Trump this cycle. There are a lot of billionaires who could pool resources to easily match Elmo. He's important, but even if he were bankrupted they'd find more money.

tigermakers.bsky.social•6 hours ago

But if he were bankrupt, it would scare the shit out of any billionaire (cough, Bezos and Zuck, cough) from trying something similar.

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Maybe. When your fortune isn't built on a scam like Tesla - when it's an actual viable business entity like Amazon - you don't have to be as scared. Sure, theoretically Amazon could fail, but it's a lot more stable and integrated into the economy than Tesla ever could be.

tigermakers.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Amazon could absolutely fail. Democrats buy shit on Amazon all the time. If they stopped doing that, Amazon loses a huge part of its customer base.

I cancelled my Amazon credit card and Prime. Now I either shop in town or direct from companies. Plus you don't end up with cheap knock offs!

tigermakers.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Next up is getting rid of all my google shit, because fuck Alphabet as well.

cowboyinbrla.bsky.social•6 hours ago

But that's my point. When push comes to shove, most people won't follow your lead because Amazon is just too convenient. Like Walmart. It's easy to not buy a Tesla. A lot harder to give up prime shipping for all the day to day crap.

tigermakers.bsky.social•5 hours ago

That's where I disagree. I stopped using Amazon before this entire mess b/c I kept getting either knock-off and damaged shit.

Now if I want something I go directly to the company. Most of the stuff I buy qualifies for free shipping and there is actual customer service available.

jatman.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Little "secret" that many of you know. Now, the rest of you do.

Elon has borrowed heavily against his TSLA holdings. It's how he pays for his "lifestyle" and "special projects". It's also how he avoids paying taxes.

We can force his bankers to make a difficult choice..

gregmorris007.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Need to get sales and stock price WAY down so they'll call in his loans.

jatman.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Salvage their principal, and issue a margin call, risking the wrath of the new regime (assuming Elon still has clout), or let it ride hoping he'll make it worth it for them. It's a quandary. Donny isn't 100% aligned with Elon, and he holds fiat power. Donny might want to knock Elon down a peg..

jatman.bsky.social•17 hours ago

So, if we drive Tesla sales to zero and abandon Xitter and stay away from pumping crypto (which helps him), we can make the difficult choices really difficult.

maggiemarbles.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It's also something that can bring out people all over the country. You don't have to book a flight to DC. Just show up to the local rallies at the car dealership.

meithemouse.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I do think the one act of revenge Dems can do is authorize direct auto sales without dealers, whiping out an entire donor base, while ironically not touching tesla.

Musk, meanwhile is gonna discover no amount of money can save you from the DoJ with a vendetta.

Musk also borrowed against his control of Tesla to buy Twitter. If he is forced out of Tesla he will likely lose Twitter as well.
