  • The symbolism is destroying an entire company.

    Musk doing multiple Nazi salutes on national television at CPAC did more, his rampant cuts of the government did more to hurt Tesla’s image.

    Especially because those are the big reason for protests…

    Like, what you’re doing is saying the reason people don’t like a convicted murderer is they were convicted.

    That is them facing consequences.

    The protests are a consequence not a cause.

    Do you honestly think people think that destroying some cars will bankrupt him?

    I have tried explaining multiple times how that makes him money…

    How would something that makes someone money ever bankrupt them?

    That’s a rhetorical question, I’m not wasting anymore time on unproductive things



  • Ok

    So, in that clip the joker had taken money from someone, and is destroying it.

    You get that?

    An unsold Tesla, if set on fire, will make Tesla the same as if you gave them cash for MSRP.

    That is more profit then if you bought one because they’re sold under MSRP right now for 0% interest.

    Does just… Literally anything I am saying make sense to you yet?

    The joker destroyed wealth, but destroying an unsold Tesla gives musk more money than if you purchased it



  • The cost to insure a Tesla Model 3 went up 30 percent last year.

    I’d absolutely love to understand how these protests raised insurance rates for the year before the protests started.

    Cuz buddy, that’s basically time travel, and it would be fascinating to learn how it works…

    But what’s probably more likely, is the stuff I just explained, and your article agreed with me on.

    I have zero idea if you’re agreeing with me intentionally tho, because you literally just put a link with zero context.




  • Bruv…

    Are you under the impression for insurance for a manufacturer on their existing inventory is the same thing as a random person’s insurance on a personal vehicle?

    Edit:

    And the liability to insurance companies has existed for a long time…

    Tesla locks down their supply chains, there’s no option besides “manufacter parts” and Tesla sucks at making them.

    So a fender bender could be months to get fixed, and insurance may be on the hook for rentals for that period on top of higher than average repair costs, which leads to Teslas being marked “totaled” when others would be repaired …

    Like, I agree in spirit, but you just don’t understand what’s happening…

    But if you set a Tesla on fire at a Tesla lot…

    You just made Elon more money than if you bought it.

    That’s important for people to understand


  • This whole time I can’t help but think…

    What’s the point in burning unsellable cars that take up real estate on sales lots?

    If you burn them Elmo gets the MSRP (probably more) from insurance, if you don’t burn them, no one is buying it anyways. The few that are, use the 0% down 0% apr loans and Tesla loses money on those.

    Setting a Tesla on fire in 2025 makes Musk more money than buying one.

    Let them rot on the lot.

    Quick edit:

    If you want something that will help, organize protests at the manufacturing plants.

    We don’t need to protest stores that have zero buyers anyway…

    But shutting down and restarting production lines is insanely expensive. And Tesla workers are almost guaranteed to hate their job already. That’s the weak point, that’s where pressure should be applied.




  • and the “CR” gives those acts the veneer of lawfulness.

    No, it literally makes them legal…

    The way it’s always worked is a budget say $X goes to Y agency.

    This says “here’s $x, idgaf what you use it for”.

    We expanded presidential powers.

    trump can now say he doesn’t want to pay for Housing Assistance, he wants to use it to harass minorities with ICE and CBP, so he can legally just take money from one pile to another.

    Which is why a shutdown would have been preferable.

    Instead Schumer and a few other Dems decided only shutting down what trump doesn’t like is better than shutting down everything.

    So we gave Republicans everything they wanted, got nothing in exchange, because Schumer wanted to kick off his book tour, it’s a book about how bad Israel is being treated, so that obviously took priority
