You know the Tesla boycott is about to crush Elon's company, when Fox News hosts are trying to convince viewers to buy Teslas.
@randahl If I were a investor (which hey I'm gonna get there!), I'm calling this the Hannity Panicky strategy
@randahl The boycott is pretty much worldwide, but Fox News is not, so good luck with that!
@randahl
I'm sure the red cap dummies have enough disposable income to afford swasticars. 💰 🤡 🛻

@stilts @randahl many of them are loaded, spending dozens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in weapons and often own an SUV worth the price of a small house.
There are also a lot of poor supporters of trump, but lower income tends to vote more democrat.

Republicans vs. Democrats—Who Earns More?

What we earn may influence how we vote. Republicans and Democrats show income differences that widen and shrink depending on the bracket, as revealed by a Pew Research analysis. Experts suggest that these disparities in earnings are deeply connected to the policies and ideologies each party promo

@tshirtman @stilts @randahl

Except in Florida. Lots of the fixed income folks are rabid republicans.

@stilts
I've heard that used Teslas are now available at a low price.
@randahl
@stilts @randahl don’t fall into stereotyping b/c the media has chosen to show you the “slobs.” trumplicans lie about their votes, they don’t want people to get the wrong idea about them, but there are plenty of professionals with advanced degrees. Where I live it’s considered tacky to put up your trump swag & no body in the OC wants their neighbors to think that. Good rule, people who don’t “talk politics” are usu trumplicans.
@randahl Trump himself is even shillin' for the guy.
@randahl as a person living in a society, I find it difficult to determine if my purchasing choices as an individual actually have influence. While I’m not in the market for an EV, this is reassuring that yes, I should indeed continue with boycotts.
@Crovanian @randahl You are one of millions, so you shouldn't expect your individual influence to be large. But if everyone thought like that, nothing would ever change. Fortunately not the case.

@martinvermeer yeah, and if each of us millions stops buying, say, a $10 banana, then that's, like, billions!

I'm not the best at math...

@martinvermeer @Crovanian

Sure it makes a difference. I see it every time I look in the mirror.

@thelovebing @Crovanian That nobody can take away from you.

@martinvermeer @Crovanian The only reason anyone should need for trying to do the right thing.

That’s why the alt-right/Russian ass hats hate personal ethics. A moral person – regardless of what moral he/she/[insert the latest all inclusive pronoun here]lives by – is very much harder to influence and manipulate.

They need nihilism.

@thelovebing @Crovanian You just explained anarchism.

@Crovanian @martinvermeer I really didn’t.

Had there not been narcissists, psychopaths and so on, sure, people would probably mostly be nice to each other. Had people in general lived by the principles they often don’t have, and so forth.

But this is reality.

@martinvermeer @Crovanian or maybe I did, and that’s why it doesn’t work.
@thelovebing @Crovanian It actually works well in a great many situations. Just not always.
What a circus. Fascist from the definition: if you can't define and formulate any political principle except the right of the strong, you are stupid enough to be a fascist.
@randahl It's going to be hard to decide for them: buy a Tesla to support Elon or buy a big SUV to support big oil. :D
@qwerty @randahl Like this?
@martinvermeer @qwerty @randahl
Buy a European or Japanese electric, how 'bout that ;)?
@EloPup @martinvermeer @qwerty @randahl Don’t forget Korean! I have an older Kia Soul EV that I love!

@FrChazzz @martinvermeer @qwerty @randahl @VoordeMus

You guys are totally right 😅! I thought about Korean aswell, but then I thought the list might get too long and I might actually forget some other countries that also built great EVs 😅.

Actually quite a fan of some Korean EVs, the Kias are cool, Hyundai (Ioniq) aswell 👍🏻, …
They built great cars in general.

@qwerty @randahl Only two options in "the land of the free"?

@randahl

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Neo-nazi Musk should apologise for every fascist thing he has ever said. Of course he will never do it, so we will all make his company crash and burn. ☠️

@randahl I mean myTesla is starting to sound pretty good eh? Sounds like they can learn marketing from someone with a softer product. xD
@randahl Has anyone started a betting Pool re how long Hannity will own his Tesla before it is vandalized or otherwise made undrive-able?
I’m thinking (hoping) on the drive home from the dealership.
Preferably by his own chauffeur. But that’s just me wishing the best, perhaps.
@randahl musk is the new MyPillow guy.
@randahl kinda weird though that he didn't buy one if he likes them so much
@randahl Hey, buy two Teslas and you get a Nazi flag signed by Elon himself!
@randahl Well, at least Elon makes people, who would've never bought an electric car, buy an electric car. Maybe he should also buy some clean energy companies.
@lbcp @randahl “I’m so MAGA I show my support to our president with the Tesla roof panels I had installed that power the Tesla power banks in my garage. They charge my Model Y, as well as save me money on my power bill in the long run. Plus, not buying gas or having to get oil changes, spark plugs, etc. is saving me a lot of money in the long-term. WHOO! Trump! ‘Murica!”

@lbcp
After all what happened, are you seriously looking for any good the fascist has done?

#melon #musk

@randahl

@randahl Det er meget sjovt, at Hannity midt i sin reklame kommer med den oplysning, at han ikke selv har en T****, men har måttet "låne af en ven".

Han kunne ligeså godt sige:

"Her, I må hjælpe E***, for jeg gider ikke selv bruge mine penge på det."

@randahl As an added bonus, when the car catches fire and Hannity burns to death inside while trying to figure out how to manually open the doors - that's one less Fox host.
@randahl Told you they were Nazi cars.
@randahl And that's after decades of Fox shit talking Tesla and e-vehicles at every opportunity.... Dictionary definition of shills. To paraphrase Murdoch in court a few years back: red and blue are irrelevant. Only green matters.
@randahl @briankrebs 10 bucks says he's a shareholder.

@randahl

Hope Tesla goes bankrupt! And after that SpaceX, and after that TwiXer!

@randahl The Tesla is an overloaded gimmicky mess, whatever you save on fuel you lose on maintenance. Toyota, which led in hybrid tech, will be releasing more affordable reliable mass maeket EV models soon. Tesla is doomed.
@randahl @rolle If the redhats are dumb enough to buy them, more power to them. It just completes their “idiot ensemble,” making them more easily noticeable in public as MAGA cultists.
@randahl The President of the United States literally just turned the White House lawn i to a Tesla car dealership. And he, along with Elon, were doing a live, nationally televised infomercial on the Tesla line of cars. All the while, the Dow was going from -275 to -475.
@randahl man, that's as cringe to watch as youtube influencers having to flog their sponsors' items..

"They have one for $35,000, which is pretty low" -- Trump during his Tesla promotional event with Elon Musk at the White House says he bought a cybertruck for his granddaughter Kai

@randahl It's so interesting to see parties flip flopping just because it's convenient. It's so explicit that i'm amazed even their followers don't take the cue.

@randahl trump's already calling the boycott of #Tesla illegal

Attached: 2 images Trump's language about an "illegal and collusive" boycott of Tesla echoes #DOGE broligarch #MarcAndreessen's language about an "orchestrated advertiser boycott" of #X. The plan is pretty obviously to compel people to give #broligarchs like #ElonMusk and Marc Andreessen money. #uspol #eupol #germany #Trump #MAGA #NerdReich #TSLA #TSLAQ #DonaldTrump

@cryptadamist @randahl Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Tariffs are Tax Breaks.

@randahl

So he may not have enough money to threaten Republican senators with a primary to ensure they stay in line with Trump ?

And he may not have enough money to buy the mid terms for Trump

Oh dear, how sad, never mind
