i would argue that the only thing that is really affecting tesla is boycotting, not the protesting.
the only thing these people understand is their cash flow. stop it there and the tick will die. elon is freaking the fuck out because his business might be failing. not because people are causing property damage. that only emboldens him to dig his feet in.
i still believe in the power of making your opinion known, but it's not as useful as it once was. at least when done peacefully.
if thats what you think i'm doing, you might be beyond saving
see the comment by the other user stating "how this actually works" they are completely spot on
