Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I like the idea that Trump is Musk's new car salesman. Oval Office/Tesla Headquarters.

When you know the truth about Tesla, the term "Elon's baby" makes him sound the world first "car cuck".

Could it be? Are we about to see US democracy absolutely debased beyond recovery with the introduction of Whitehouse Sweepstakes.

ENTER NOW TO WIN A TESLA. SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FIRST LADY, MUSK.

Huh, maybe putting the EV tax credit back in and banning the ridiculous EV registration fees that states are foisting on us would help electric vehicles sell?

-Be Trump, a closeted environmentalist

-Hire on Musk for your cabinet

-Have him say extremely controversial and offensive things

-Rally conservatives to his defense to sell more EVs and save the planet

It's almost TOO obvious people

Here it is without all the adjectives telling you what to think or how to feel:

To conservatives, Republicans [redacted]; elon musk is "putting it on the line" and the liberals are boycotting tesla (paraphrasing). [Redacted] In any event. I'm going to buy a brand new tesla tomorrow morning as a show of my confidence and support for Elon Musk [redacted]

While it's true that Elon Musk was being criticized by some for various reasons, the fact remains that Donald Trump's decision to buy a Tesla car as a response to criticism is more of a publicity stunt than an actual attempt to address the concerns.

To put this into perspective, let's look at the net worth of Donald Trump. According to Forbes' 2022 estimates, Trump's net worth is approximately $3.2 billion. Now, compare that to the price tag of a Tesla Model S, which can cost anywhere from $80,000 to over $100,000, depending on the trim level and options.

In this context, buying one Tesla car represents only a tiny fraction of Trump's overall net worth. For instance, if we assume he bought a base model Tesla at $80,000, that would account for less than 0.0025% of his estimated net worth.

So, why the fuss? This purchase seems more like a symbolic gesture to appease his critics and demonstrate his wealth rather than an actual demonstration of his commitment to environmental causes or technological innovation. It's likely that Trump was trying to show off his supposed "status symbol" and "rich person problems," which has become a hallmark of his brand.

This is like a buddy helping out another buddy by giving him the change he found in his couch. It's sad that people will fall for this type of hollow gesture.
