Property taxes always made me think that you don't actually own it, rather its a different form of rent based on property value. I know its the not the same as renting as you have stored value if you sell, but its difficult to call it "ownership"

Wasn't this actually due to the worsening EV sales which were worst for Tesla? Probably because people don't like him and associate him with it.

Edit: data for ev sales is still going up but its specifically lower for tesla.

This was absolutely insane. This is what happens when the empire no longer needs you.

Yes, because all conservatives are nazis. Really?

Of course if someone else on the other side did something like this they would be up in arms about it. I don't like musk, but doing this to people's property is NOT okay.

Yep, thats also bad.

Yeah but the government is known for abusing their power. They could just as easily use this against someone who becomes the leader of a civil rights organizations whose organizing people and protesting or striking for workers. They'll just claim they're dangerous and strip them of citizenship.

I dont like musk, but revoking citizenship is a slippery slope that we should not go down. It will become political very quickly where if the government doesn't like someone because they don't agree with them then they have that avenue.

Musk is terrible but this move doesn't do much against him and it only hurts the future for others.
