Musk recently caused uproar after he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.
Stop buying his shitty cars. If his Tesla stock tanks the rest of his empire will crumble.
The US won’t let Space X go under. They will nationalize it and let current management run it. But the rest of his business ventures will go under without Tesla propping them up.
Mitigated somewhat in Europe though because you can’t buy the cyber truck there anyway because the thing is a death trap, both to its occupants, and everyone in the surrounding area.
If Elon was out of the picture, I’d be fine with SpaceX. They’ve done some cool things (reusable, self landing, mass produced rockets is a pretty great achievement) and would be in a better spot if he wasn’t at the helm pushing Starship to its doom.
To be fair, NASA would happily absorb SpaceX given the money and ability to. The Falcon series is exactly what they need and they could properly develop Starship.
If we turned SpaceX into a worker’s co-op then I would also be fine with it, but I don’t think replacing Elon with another billionaire would help anything. I truly believe nearly every single billionaire on earth is morally bankrupt and far too detached from reality. The best case scenario for the continuation of billionaires is that live like evil dragons hoarding all their wealth while the planet burns… But far too often, billionaires use their wealth to erode democracy and to ratchet the world towards fascism.
If we truly want to save our world then billionaires need to be abolished, capitalism needs to be converted into market socialism, and we need to make education and improving democracy our #1 priorities so that we can actually build functioning science driven governments that are willing to fight for data proven policies
At this point I’m convinced that his obsession with X is that it’s the closest letter to the swastika. Just imagine: Space Swastika. Model Swastika. Swastika dot com. etc.

I already don’t but so far that hasn’t worked. Mass boycotting just doesnt exist in modern day. We don’t have enough inertia to sway the ignorant.
Tesla’s market share has definitely been harmed by Elon’s actions already, especially in Europe
Still, Tesla stock is up because Wall Street loves Trump.
