And not a single journalist will ask him what law he claims has been broken.

Does he still take questions from journalists? I thought they were only letting sycophants in as 'press'
It's illegal to not buy one? Does that mean we all have to buy one now? Lol
Suck my balls. The US constitution says differently, little piss baby.
Fellas, is it illegal to have no money to buy something?
oh wait
read news article about a homeless man getting shot 50 times
👀
I think what he wants is all our 401k by law having to invest in Telsa stock. I wouldn't put it past him to lauch an EO demanding that.
which critics said resembled a Nazi salute.
There's journalists right now getting murdered for standing up to tyranny and this spineless ass-kissing ball-gargling excuse of a tabloid writer is excusing Nazis.

"we believe in the free market"
"NO NOT LIKE THAT"
what does that mean lol is everyone required by law to buy a tesla
It means Trump doesn't like it. And Trump can go fuck himself with a chainsaw. Despite his delusions, his word isn't law. It's just a flood of lies, threats and bullshit.
What's Musky gonna do? Sue everyone who doesn't buy a swastika like he's trying to do to advertisers who left Twitter?
Yeah I just dead-named that bitch
I like the combination Xitter, pronounced "shitter"
tHe mArKeT WiLl ReGuLaTe ItSeLf!
So, do I turn myself in, or just wait for someone to call the authorities?
I think I’ll wait.
From the guy who knows all about illegal.
So, what I’m interested in here is: what the fuck are you gonna do about it, orangeboi? Bitch and moan? What’s the punishment for boycotting the brand? Spell it out for me. I want you, or eel-on-musk, to explain what you’re going to do to directly counter this “illegal boycott” - putting aside the fact that that combination of words makes about as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”.
Trump just has the strategy to give media 3 topics which make good headlines every day. Then he can do the "important" stuff unbothered. Soo, this ist the kind of stuff we hear about. But, what about the rest?
Exactly, it's all just smoke and mirrors.
"Hey, look over there while I do something under the table“
Is it a boycott if I was never going to buy that piece of crap in the first place?
Oh I guess the orange con man is also gonna tell us what kind of underwear we're allowed to buy now.
Well, that depends...
I see what you did there.
Would be nice if someone hacked a fleet of teslas to full-self-drive straight to the landfill.
I'm sure Trump saying liberals have to buy Teslas will drive up sales.... how could that possibly fail?
If you don't buy a model x every day then you're getting arrested
And yet I shall continue
If the king don't like it...
Related, BDS is illegal in the US meaning that you are legally obligated to purchase things from Israel. It's unenforceable on an individual level, but it's used to come after people who promote or organize the boycott. If Trump and the Republicans wanted to make it illegal to boycott Tesla, they would have legal precedent because of that absolute lunacy.

Why not just cut to the chase, make a presidential order saying that everyone must buy a Tesla and if you don't (or can't) you will be punished?
To quote that iconic bus driver: gargle my balls
"buy a tesla or GO THE FUCK TO PRISON!"
- Drumpf.
