they will shift from buy/lease to uber/rent. likely priced to destroy competition, and bury the data on crashes and deaths and self-destruction, and the microphones and cameras are all bugged by a fascist regime. at any time it can kidnap you and take you somewhere that nobody but them can know.

Musk's net worth is largely tied to Tesla's market cap. Most of his wealth is in those shares

Make the brand extremely toxic and start affecting the share price. People are investing in the company not for logical reasons, but primarily emotional ones. People seeing mass anger and protest of Teslas hit the emotion part

commit to buying military cybertrucks

I just want to be clear that they order was for armored Teslas in general, not specifically Cybertrucks.

Armored vehicles tend to be standard vehicles retrofitted with armor. This could mean any model of Tesla, not specifically the Cybertruck, especially since Musk already suspended Cybertruck production at the end of 2024.

I just keep seeing repeat that it's going to be Cybertrucks but literally the evidence does not bear out it being Cybertrucks, especially since production of Cybertrucks was already suspended.

EDIT:

Also, assuming it's a Cybertruck is literally buying into and re-enforcing the marketing of the Cybertruck being a powerful armored vehicle to begin with. We all know that's not true.

What do you mean "adapting" he has never done anything but Leach off the govt. Tesla isn't so much a car company as it is a carbon credits company that sells govt carbon credits to other car manufacturers. Other than that, SpaceX is basically fully funded by fed contracts and boring by state and municipal contracts.

Like the idea that he is even a decent businessman is a wild exaggeration. He's been gaming the system and leaching off the taxpayers from the jump

My question really, who is buying tesla’s these days, and is that even a noteworthy percentage of musks income these days.

That's a very good question honestly. For anyone that cares to get a rough estimate of purchase date/support before doing something rash (unlikely, but hey, as an owner from 2018 that doesn't like any other reasonably affordable EV options and hates being associated with this dickbag)... Tesla switched from Chrome door handles and camera housings to Black (chrome delete was already by far the most popular aftermarket change, Tesla just started doing it themselves) around the Model Y launch in March 2019. So if you see a Tesla with Chrome handles and camera housings, it predates at least the recent Elon spiral into Fascism fueled by Ketamine™.

How old is it? It might be a good idea to ditch it before it becomes an even bigger liability. Teslas don't last over 10 years without dropping large sums of cash into them.

so you might have been grifted, but your actions affect other people. your car is a spy mobile that sucks up innocent bystanders' data without their consent. and yeah, maybe do research before supporting a company, like how Cocacola did business with Hitler - but even that ignorant at best $2 purchase doesn't negatively affect everyone else to the extent your car does

May I suggest a bumper sticker indicating you don't support him or the company any longer?

If I see anyone driving a Tesla they’re a piece of shit to me. Stop making excuses and get rid of it. If you own a Tesla you’re not struggling, you can take the loss.

Somebody already shot one up and left a note.

Considering the number of "the French give up" jokes made by Americans I find it hilarious that Americans won't even try in the first place. I know who the real losers are.
