Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's been obvious for a while but people all over have no problem giving him money to fund Nazi causes. I live in a sold blue state and see at least a couple cyber trucks whenever I drive somewhere. I'd estimate 1 out of every 8 cars around here are a Tesla. Like WTF people... If you're a giant MAGA supporter I get it, but if you're a Democrat then you're sending the wrong message.
Yep. The minute I learned who he was, my plans to buy anything from that douche were nixed. No way I'm driving around with a vehicle that broadcasts a message like that. Might as well slap one of those dumb red hats on my head, but in this case, people know that I've given money to a warped cause.
This is my conundrum. My Tesla is paid off, it's hardly worth what it was, it costs me basically nothing to drive thousands of miles (cheap electricity here)...but I hate that it has a Musk affiliation. I feel like I can't go anywhere without people judging which sucks.
But financially at this point it really doesn't make sense to get rid of it and get something else. I might as well drive it until it dies. Despite avoiding driving it because I don't want to be seen in it, I guess.
Slap an anti-Musk bumper sticker on it. That would be enough to switch me from judging to thinking you are cool.
