Trump calls Tesla boycott ‘illegal’ and says he’s buying one to support Musk
Standing in the driveway of the White House with Tesla vehicles, Trump said he would label violence against the company’s showrooms as domestic terrorismwww.theguardian.com
Hoorah !!!
This is hilarious. How can a boycott be illegal ? Was the BUD boycott illegal ? I dont think so.
Its all a bit Hegseths Mom isnt it ? There is that big adult vibe about it. Big brother trump stepping in to protect nerdy Elon from the nasty kids.
And doing it with a futile gesture as well. Hopefully this will silence the mob and people will stop saying mean things about tesla.
If they dont will trump sign an EO ordering folk to buy a tesla ?
Of course musk could stop acting lke a dickhead but that would need his stockholders to speak up.
Good luck finding one.
I predicted this would happen.That was a big if. I am not likely buying one.
I am actually leaning towards a Tesla, particularly if the Model X or S Plaid is going to get some of the improvements that are rumored. I never cared much about Teslas before, but Elon’s political voice sparked my interest enough to take a test drive. I would never buy one just because of his politics, but I loved the way it drove. Ultra-fast, quiet, smooth and super techy.
The way all sane care makers do it...By going combustibleHow can Musk turn around Teslas doom spiral ?

Protesters target Tesla showrooms in US over Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting
Demonstrations across the US against tycoon’s ties to Trump highlight potential risks to firm’s reputation and saleswww.theguardian.com
They have lost that cachet now. Sheryl knows. You can buy better and cheaper electric cars. Their next product is a truck that is no use for trucking and his political antics have alienated the very people who buy his cars. Maga doesnt drive electric.
People dont want to enrich a nazi by buying his products.
How can he turn it around ?
He already has a big pllant in China to protect against trump tariffs. Maybe we will see a big order for tesla trucks from the pentagon ?
But I think the big problem is musk himself. His market is pro the planet and pro decency. They are naturallyappalled by his nazi antics and dont want any part of it. Sales are down 60% in Germany.
Sales are likely to slip further as he continues his Dr Evil act. Maybe he should just sell up and let the brand recover.
There are better ways to do thatHe doesn't want to.
Musk is getting out of the EV market
Redesigning to Hydrogen ICE hybrids.
That's why he's letting it fall.
There are better ways to do that
