Yes! I am working on deleting Meta. I have deleted my music streaming apps and now use the NPR app as my source of music and info. Getting rid of Amazon as well.
If I had a Tesla, I’d sell it also.
When I see or read of something (supporting Trump)I’ll verify first then act I.e., don’t shop at certain companies, don’t tune in to certain news, etc but how do I get rid of Google and META? Still working on it.
Unfortunately if you're like me and have an android phone, Google is embedded in tge Android system and cannot be removed. You can however choose different search engine and log out of Google... Annoyingly even the Chinese use it on my Huawei...
There are alternatives to meta, I ditched the lot this week. Google is a problem, but you can reduce your email addresses, use a different search engine, delete Chrome etc
We do but it helps when we commit to show up in the hundreds of thousands. It’s also important that people not mistake this for the only political activity needed right now
More importantly, don't buy a new Tesla. There are so many options. Buy a Ford or GM EV. Stop buying Tesla. The namesake of the company would be disgusted at what has become of Musk.
Out of curiosity, which company did you select? Building a house which will be pre-wired but not installing initially. I might start with just a battery backup.
In the capitalist system, the real power is held by the consumer. It seems that the big corporations dictate, but the reality is that we decide who we give our money to. Millions of small consumers represent billions of dollars every day. We can change the system by using it.
I shut all my amazon accounts for the same reason. If people like Musk or Bezos are going to prioritise a selfish and dehumanising agenda, I won’t buy their stuff. If enough of us do that, they’ll feel it.
Try CarMax. I’ve had good experiences buying and selling cars there. No haggling, no BS.
Sold my Tesla S to them last month.
Extremely happy with my new Honda CRV Hybrid.
What are you getting instead? I went and test drove a few last weekend even though I'm not in a position to really start making payments again. But nothing even remotely compared except for things like the i4 M50 which is twice as much. I hated all of the other EVs I test drove.
I think we’re going to go with a hybrid. EV’s are terrible at keeping their charge in the Canadian winters and my husband has a 250km round trip commute every day.
That will only hurt the workers !!! ALL the people I know that work hard for Amazon LOATHE trump .. THEY DID NOT VOTE FOR THE POS !!! ALL the Wealthy ceo's are SCARD !!!! BUT BOYCOTTING Amazon will NOT hurt Bezos .. fump will soon be gone ..
Great example. I use my foot print as a consumer all the time. I now tell MAGA supporting businesses that I no longer use them for that reason. It’s hard to make it without 50% of the market. 💙🔥
We can remove this entire problem by just not buying their stuff. Stop going to work, etc...It would take a few weeks to crash it all but easily done if we all unite.
I have been a very good Amazon customer. Probably hundreds of dollars a month. For years. Just canceled my Prime and signed up for Thrive Market and Costco.
Same here. Always had Costco, but just dropped Prime. Busy adult children depend on Amazon as a convenient way to shop. Now they give me their lists (printed from their Amazon subscribe page!) and I do the shopping locally for them. Cheers!
As long as you have the cash or credit, sure. "Just trade your car" takes a certain amount of privilege. Some folks in my area bought $12-14K teslas when they flooded the used lot here, and they're in shady loans.
an even better play if you own outright is to sell it privately for the trade value. Suppressing the market value of the used ones will hurt Tesla's new car numbers. Hopefully the earnings call today goes accordingly.
I wish it were that easy... I have a Google pixel (though bought it 5 years ago. When I can afford a new one I'm going to have to see if I can find one I like that can last the same amount of time. (I swear I wait until they die before replacing)
I'll take a look. Some of the specifics I want are a bit picky. (I know I could get them all with an apple, but I'm not paying that price tag. I am not an apple girlie)
Thank you for this information. We need to keep spreading the truth and wake everyone up to the greed and vitriol of tRump and Musk. Everyone needs to stop giving them your money!
not for nothing- never understood anyone buying a Tesla vehicle when they are blowing up in fire and or the non-human driving cars had a zillion crashes
can someone explain it to me like I’m a kindergarten what is the thrill of Tesla cars?
While I can appreciate the symbolism, selling your car does not affect the amount of money Musk got from you when you bought it. The time for actions which make us feel good about ourselves is over.
Yes! Don’t purchase their products or utilize their services and call them out at every turn! In time they will be reduced to irrelevancy. We have the power of the people! Stay strong, stay united!
There are at least a dozen small shops that do Tesla Swaps (taking the guts off a Tesla, and fitting into another vehicle). Specifically, EV West out of San Marcos, CA
Because you basically can't... They are that way by design, so that people can't fix their own cars, and everything has to go through the dealership... Just keep giving money to Tesla
I see a lot of people in my area with Tesla. And I’m wondering why . Do they not make any connections? This isn’t a luxery car — and not a sign of wealth
What short memories we have. I live in a blue area in blue California. Lots of Teslas here. Most are owned by people who didn’t vote for Trump. It was their choice among electric cars to stop polluting with gas engines. Tesla already has their $.
I’m no vehicle expert. I just know families are riding around in Teslas that they chose for whatever reason before we knew that Musk was so evil. It concerns me to see them attacked here on Bluesky. Tesla owners I know would not have bought one after Musk hooked up with Trump. Rivians look cool.
i keep telling people: let's start w/one thing & make it viral: STOP buying soda, juice drinks, energy drinks. Saves precious water, stops nasty industrial processing, and improves our health. All the while using our power to inflict our power on the big corporations.
Let every senator know that they will not be elected -again- if they vote for jk junior or dash. That is monetizing the incentive.
Loss of power and money very unsettling for men who have pursued a career without the concept of serving the constituents that placed them in Washington.
He can only do the things he does because he leverages the paper value of his stock. The value of his stock depends upon the mindset of investors whom he happily gouges in pursuit of his own self interest.
The POWER of the PURSE is all these money grubbing billionaires, politicians and money grubbers care about. If not why would they take lobbyists money? Why would they need Government loans, grants and contracts? They take the handouts but deny the people they represent. The HYPOCRISY of it all
I bought mine almost 3 yrs ago and a couple months after, he dropped the price by $10k or something like that. Now I am upside down in it. So I’m stuck with it for a while. I avoid driving it. 😩
This exactly. I believe in the power of the wallet. I try to use it always. Maybe it takes a little more time to buy morally and ethically, but it's worth it.
That company is evil too. Allegations of literal slavery on fishing barges in the Gulf of Thailand. Proven child labor. BYD got busted for slave labor in Brazil. There is no ethical consumption under this system.
I wish she would have driven it into a line of teslas on the lot, collected the insurance as they all burned, then bought a new EV but I understand thats not for everyone 😎
Someone posted this website on her (thank you to whoever it was), so I downloaded the app and I've been using it daily to decide who and where to spend my money with.
I can't afford to trade mine in and start making payments again right now. Especially when we don't know what's happening with the economy. I have the obligatory bumper sticker. But my dealership friend said they had three Teslas traded in yesterday. Super cool!
I’m in the same boat. I owe too much money on mine to trade it in. The left wing hates me cuz of Elon, the right wing hates me cuz I drive an EV. I’m in a sucky situation of my own doing.
I think there are a lot of people in your situation & a lot of inconsiderate, unthinking comments here. I detest Musk but damaging cars is ridiculous. Most people bought Teslas to get away from gas powered cars before Musk showed us his Nazi nature. Be safe & vigilant. We libs have our idiots too.
Me too. Bought in 2022, used, median car price that year & save money by charging it in my own garage. No gas. Besides, we’d get $hit for trade-in right now. If you’re hating on us but still on Amazon & Facebook, FU!
My 2nd Tesla is on a 3 year lease! If and when I can turn it back in I will. I was a Tesla fan back in the day, but after Musk’s insanity, I’ll never own/lease a Tesla again!
I have a Hyundai Ioniq 6 and I love it. In addition to not helping musk, it's a terrific car as well. Great distance, fantastic handling, and it was cheaper than a Tesla. Win-win-win.
Tesla was already paid for that vehicle so what she did didn’t do anything but help herself emotionally. Tesla still got her money. Best for new buyers to not buy. Remember, though - it’s not going to hurt Musk. It will hurt the thousands who work at Tesla, overwhelmingly Harris/Dem supporters
not entirely true. The market value of cars performs the same as any market. If people are dumping used, the price for used drops. If new buyers feel they are getting a big enough break buying used over new, they will buy the used creating less new car sales. If nobody is buying either one...
Respectfully, I rarely see that happening. People around where I live will go into 7+ years of payments for a new car they really shouldn’t buy or can’t actually afford over a used one. Only used cars bought here are parents buying for high school kids.
respectfully, that's only where you live then. The fact remains, supply and demand affect prices. Look at what prices have been over the last 5 years. It goes the other way too. If a dealer has 15 used Tesla's sitting, and they're paying the interest as they sit.. they're gonna discount em.
I know a guy who bought a tesla 2 days before musk gave trump money to buy the US Govt. He had 5 business days to change his mind... he took it back on day 3 and bought Ford Mach E 😅
Not everyone can afford to simply get rid of their Tesla. I know people in that situation. They didn’t vote for Trump & don’t like Musk. They bought the car a couple of years ago. They’re getting brake checked & cut off. There’s a child in the backseat. Do they need to be vandalized?
We leased a Tesla a year ago and have almost two years to go. We keep it hidden in the garage. We also lease a Hyundai ioniq6 and that is our daily use car now. Electric all the way
He has voting rights controlling 25 percent ( a joke considering he owns much less) but if you stop 🛑 buying the products the board will fire him . Investors loyalty only lasts as long as it starts hitting their pockets. 🤷♀️
we absolutely do have the power & we need the list of store chains against DEI & the list of chains supporting DEI (Costo) re-posted over & over so we boycott or give custom to stores accordingly
Obviously Amazon & Whole Foods, Facebook & X are on the list but also Target & Walmart & lots others
What about a lease deal? What about PCP. Think people can you take a financial hit at the drop of a hat. Also everyone boycott Tesla who do they sell them to?
I’m nearing the end of my Tesla lease, the payment’s cheaper than my Kia was. I literally have no choice other than to ride it out. I fuckin hate the association w/musk but violence against those we don’t like or disagree with, makes u no better than MAGA cultists. Have some grace in your heart! 💙
My spouse agreed to end our Amazon Prime finally. F the fascists! We’re buying at Costco instead.
By the way: you can call Costco’s customer line 1-800-774-2678, hit zero for the operator, and tell them you support their DEI policy. They’re tracking support.
I can appreciate that... I get it... But really. She knew who he was long before the salute. We all know exactly who Elon is... What he stands for... And the lengths he will go to. That's what it took? I mean really. Not buying Tesla to begin with would have been a better jumping off point.
I downloaded DuckDuckGo after Google renamed the Gulf of Mexico in their maps app. So too, we're a whole lot of others. It took me several tries. This is our superpower. Use it, people!
You know how folks are saying it isn’t the Nazi salute.
Wrong, please denote in the photo below how his thumb was bent.The Sieg Heil sign has the thumb creased just as a typical military salute to the corner of the eye.
Musk knew what he was doing and Asperger had nothing to do with it.

It is the little things, try a free Linux OS, Firefox browser or duck duck go, either way use duck as your search engine. Worried about leaving an internet trail ? Check out Linux tails, operates completely on your computer RAM, pull the USB...poof ! You are gone.
Better yet, trade in your car entirely and opt to ride the train! The entire automobile industry unfortunately has a vested interest in the destruction of our natural and built environments. Hyundai also donated to Trump…
And for those of us who can't afford to make independent decisions about what cars to buy or sell, I imagine that used Teslas are going to become quite cheap!
Yes, but if you get rid of it, then you’re also not driving around with that logo on display. And I imagine they (all brands, consumer reports companies, etc) look at trends about what cars are traded in for what other brands and all that
Thank you! I bought mine in 2022 and can’t afford to trade it in yet. It was the median car price that year & I save $ by charging it in my own garage.
I've probably hated Musk long before you. I was working at Kennedy Space Center the day SpaceX decided to show off by static firing a rocket engine on the pad. They blew up pad 40, the rocket, a NASA payload bound for our astronauts on the ISS and endangered the lives of our workers. He's a moron.
You would think Americans Patriots would have dump their stock.
Greed and capitalist pig are why we are here.
Siding with the capitalist pigs and their overlords
We will never learn.
About 80% of Musk's wealth (and power) is from Tesla. If consumers boycott (or sell) and investors divest, we could take him down. I'm not recommending this, but if our anarchist community started vandalizing Teslas instead of walls and fences, Teslas would become even less attractive.
Deleted Amazon. Never was on tweeter. Only on FB for a support group. I look at nothing else on FB. Do I feel guilty, yeah, but my mental health is important too. Also, sold our volvo since they support the Republicans and purchased a Nissan because they support the Democrats, as far as I can tell.
It cost me but when an Dealership owner here in WV was running for governor and his commercials were disgusting show of how he could shoot his AR and bazooka if he wanted to - "Nobody coming for my guns" slogan (like we really are) I traded a brand new Subaru to another dealership 50 miles away.
Make sure you’re also divested from Meta, Amazon, Israeli companies, industrialized ag, oil companies, etc, because they all deal with fascism, death, and sometimes both.
Also if something goes wrong with the Hyundai there is probably a nearby dealership, with a reasonable supply chain for replacement parts who provides a loaner car while it’s in the shop. I bet they don’t even void your warranty if your social media posts hurts their CEO’s feelings.
We do have the power. We have the power to group up and pull all those idiots out of office and teach them what France 1788 means. We can actually stop this ourselves, but no one wants to.

We don’t need billionaires - they need us.
Go to Amazon, find shops you like. Buy from them beyond Amazon.
Support small & local businesses. They are you & me.
Trump is a very fragile, scared & insecure individual who hides behind BS & uses it as shields.
When I see or read of something (supporting Trump)I’ll verify first then act I.e., don’t shop at certain companies, don’t tune in to certain news, etc but how do I get rid of Google and META? Still working on it.

I’ve never used one but it might be my next buy.
Probably because I hate sending electronics to the landfill because America's recycling is a joke.
can someone explain it to me like I’m a kindergarten what is the thrill of Tesla cars?
Thank you in advance car gurus responses! 🙂
Before delivery, I figured out what Elon was.
Cancelled my order, bought something else.
SO GLAD I DID!

Keep up the good work 👍
Sales are taking a hit.
I sold my Tesla last month.
My primary contact at CarMax informed me prices for used Teslas are “plummeting”.
And most people are the ones to be mostly harmed by the Trump dictatorship.

And also note that Tesla Corp has access to these cameras at all times. Even when your car is turned off- they are watching you.
By June if you are still driving a Swasticar or Tyrannatruck, it's going to be the same as a red hat for me.
Keep going!
Obviously Amazon & Whole Foods, Facebook & X are on the list but also Target & Walmart & lots others
Like I said: "lazy-cowards"
Everyone else: go fk up a Tesla today.
