Uh, no. Not even close. |
Animus toward the Tesla brand is fueling the purchase of a large number of guns for personal safety. Antifa tactics always spurs the sales of firearms. |
Aww. You sound embarrassed that your fellow LWNJs are making such utter fools of themselves - and Democrats in general. It *is* pretty pathetic, glad you agree. |
DP. So funny how just a few short months ago, Tesla was the Democrats' virtue signaling darling. |
Do you maybe not know any Democrats? Folks have known Musk is a nightmare human for years, and it became even more clear after his purchase of Twitter and re-platforming of noted white supremacists. All of that happened in 2022, which is the absolute latest anyone might have bought a Tesla as some sort of EV virtue signaling. |
Democrats have short memories, coupled with a penchant for performative activity to support their pet cause du jour. How many Ds buy Fords from a company started by a noted antisemite? Or German cars from companies which supported Germany and war crimes in WWII? Or Japanese cars from companies which supported Japanese WWII atrocities? Ds will be buying Teslas again soon, no doubt; the silent majority of them probably already are. |
Take a look at the (inflated) sales numbers that came out, they are not buying. Of course some people might go back, if the brand is still around. Please note that no one was buying German cars when Hitler was still in power and no one bought Japanese cars when they bombed Pearl Harbor. Tesla will first have to make amends for Elmo. Of course, now there are myriad better choices in the market, so why would anyone bother to buy an inferior product AND suffer social stigma? |
It wasn’t, but for the few that this applied to, it was before it was a poison Nazi brand. Here is a quote for perspective: “To many people, John Wayne Gacy was a friendly man who loved to entertain young children. He frequently dressed up as his alter ego, Pogo the Clown, at parties that he hosted for his entire neighborhood.” |
Wow, sick burn, boomer. This is a very weird near sexual attraction that you seem to have to Leon. Is it that he seems so powerful? That he’s rich? Is it a physical attraction? Is this like some masochistic need to have to prostrate yourself for his benefit? Whatever it is, it’s weird, dude. I’m not one to kink shame, but don’t get all butt hurt when people don’t share your fetishes. |
Good news, it sounds like Don is going to fire Musk.

I’m a die hard 6-speeder, so I’ve never liked Teslas, and still don’t, but it’s amusing seeing angry white liberals seething so hard at a car. |
Why does anyone believe it’s a good idea to vandalize personal vehicles of other people? Or damage personal property of innocent people to protest? If you think you have high moral
Ground you don’t: you are mentally ill. This madness needs to end |
Makes me wonder would a protest like this occur if Bezos or Zuckerberg been hired to run Doge? Would Whole Foods be targets for Molotov cocktails or graffiti? Everyone that shops at Whole Foods or Amazon stop buying? People that have Facebook stop using it? |
Uh, well, those companies and basically every other company on earth have the good sense to avoid politics (let alone allowing their leaders to become known as fringe, right wing kooks). Tesla's brand will probably never fully recover. Tesla's base was liberal Democrats, and those people are Audi. |
Still makes me wonder though… Thanks for the input. |
