Someone's being a pissbaby because nobody wants to buy stuff from fascists. Lul.
This makes me think he just has no idea what a boycott is, because for it to be illegal, purchasing a Tesla would some how have to be legally mandate.

This seems hypocritical. Didn't all those "Snowflakes" boycott Budweiser last year?
"Land of the free."
Common misconception.
Land of the fee.

Hey, anyone heard from the My Pillow guy lately? It's almost like there's been a dozen or more recent examples of why it's a bad idea to tie your political beliefs to your business.
TBH he sold a shit ton of pillows for political beliefs. Lots of my Bible thumping family bought them.
My girlfriend's mom bought pillows for herself and gifted us towels, much to our disappointment. The towels are unremarkable.
I would have asked for a gift receipt, returned them, then donated the money to Planned Parenthood or something like that. Then given them the donation receipt for their taxes.

Pity he's a liar and won't actually use one, I like the thought of him being on fire.
The thought of him on fire gives me more joy than it should.
Hed probably keep burning for weeks

"It's illegal to boycott" translates to "You're legally required to buy this product". Anyone who can't see that that is completely moronic bullshit already has there head up Trump and/or Elon's ass for the delicate aroma.

Even if boycotting were illegal how in the fuck would that be enforceable?
Simple, just put out an EO requiring every citizen to purchase a Tesla.
He'd also need to put out an EO making it illegal to wipe your ass with an EO.
Ahahaha the felon saying voting with your wallet is illegal. Couldn't make this shit up if you tried.

Felon rapist says what?
Funny how they preach "the market will regulate itself" until it regulates itself in the "wrong direction". And all of a sudden something needs to be done by "the government".
Elon to Trump: "I can't fund 2026 midterm candidates if Tesla goes broke"
Trump:
Trump is just throwing fuel onto the fire, it’s all he knows how to do.
The problem is Tesla was politicized. Now they are very politicized.
Like, if I was a Tesla CEO or board member trying to save the company, I would have begged him not to do this.
Soooo ... Trump thinks he can force people to buy Teslas? Just like Elon is trying (and failing) to sue companies for not advertising on Twitter.
Poor Elon Musk.
How’s he going to feed his kids if we don’t buy his cars?
How’s he going to feed his ~~kids~~ human shields if we don’t buy his cars?
Slight correction.
So, a boycott is illegal, protest of Tesla outlets is terrorism. Do We the People get to have any say?
Trump: No, and now it's illegal for you not to like me.

lol, yeah. That will help, 1 Tesla bought by your boss. That’s like when my Aunt Theresa bought all my Girl Scout cookies so I could win a prize.
Something something free market?
Nice! Turn teslas into rolling MAGA bumper stickers!
What I love about this that it already takes twice as much to insure a model Y to my comparably sized EV. if Teslas are gonna get disproportionately vandalized I wouldn’t be shocked if insurance premiums will go up further. So even if the cars value drops, the movement can still offset that with increasing the cost of ownership.

I can't even afford a used car from 2015. Even if i wanted a Tesla, which I don't, I wouldn't even be able to buy one.
They're panicking. The boycotts are working.
I don't think they're panicking, this is how they always behave. Trump is saying a moronic thing again to draw attention from the actual important authoritarian shift onto "what stupid meaningless shit did he say". It's the same fucking playbook every time.
All those stories about mad kings end the same way, things aren't looking good

Okay, guess I'm technically not boycotting Tesla. I just straight up can't afford a car, not in this economy. Nor do I care, because there's a bus stop just down the street. Not that I'm intimidated by Trump because I'm not American and he can't prosecute this shit even domestically.
not using twitter counts.
Maybe the one he bought will explode near him with tesla you never know between a fire or a explosion
