Boycott to TESLA cars - people defending agains billionaire's greed

[paxmao]

So, a billionaire that has received and still receives plenty of Government contract has gone - unchecked and unelected - rampart on personel and costs of the government (not a bad thing) but disregarding much of the underlying real needs that were actually being covered, e.g. veterans.

And people are voting with their purchases which is reflected on the Tesla stock price. Shareholders at this point must be fuming.

Tesla shares is a little on the green side by 5% but maybe the boycott has not really start biting because the protest just started across Tesla companies.

Well more reasonably, where does Elon want the people to get money to buy those cars if they are cutting down federal jobs. I would have said this could be the beginning of Elon diminishing popularity but no, Trump is with him and promising to buy his car. Is Trump going to change his beast?

Maybe people should stop worshipping (ass-kissing) these chlurmcks. The best way to prevent stupid ass morons from worshipping the chlurcmks is to cause humans to go extinct completely. I know how to prevent human extinction, but I will do nothing to stop it because there are more important things we need to worry about.

This is actually hitting Tesla too much.

With the boycotting of Tesla cars, the stocks have plummeted a lot and they're losing a lot of money day by day because of this trend.

If this is going to continue, there will be more stockholders that are going to sell their shares when they have to cut loss. It's an expensive stock to be honest.

As far as things are set up now, EV is stupid, and doesn't really work. So, yes. Every company that takes advantage of government 'help' regarding 'green', is wasting taxpayer money foolishly.

This is much bigger than a simple boycott. According to Musk these smear campaigns and attacks on his dealerships were financed by a couple billionaires who used to visit Epstein island.

Just think about it for a moment. Musk is auditing the US gov and in fact uncovered a lot of fraud, like over 1 million people who unlawfully receive pensions after their relatives had died. This actually is a big thing. Also, he managed to uncover where Biden's administration was funneling money, like for instance to battle climate change in various countries.
Then the new FBI director released some of the Epstein files, and guess what, Reid Hoffman, one of the guys that was on the Epstein list happens to attack Musk by saying that he understands people who are violent towards Musk's businesses. According to Musk, Hoffman financed protests against Tesla. There's even a site https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown where people organize these protests. Somebody is paying for it all, just like Soros paid for Euromaidan in 2013.

Don't get me wrong here, I don't know who's telling the truth, but just look at the people who are screaming the loudest. Bill Gates who visited Epstein on his rape island and when the pictures of the two together came out said that their friendship was a mistake. Gates who, if it was up to him, would reduce the world's population and make you all eat bugs and fake meat, doesn't want Musk digging through government spending. I wonder why.

That said, Teslas suck. Expensive and unreliable. Would never buy that shit.

[BADecker]

Poor Elon Musk. People wanted EV's. And he came to give them what they wanted, even if he bit off a little more than he could chew. Now, in return, people want to boycott him for trying to help them by giving them what they wanted.

Did Musk make a profit? Of course he did. That's why people go into business. So, what is wrong with Musk making a profit in every legal way he can? Yes, legal, just like all the other business people who make and sell products wanted and needed by the people. He hasn't really even been accused of illegal doings.

The only reason why people talk against him is that he is in the process of revealing all kinds of Deep State bad stuff done against the people of America. Even Soros is paying people to talk bad against Musk. Why? Because Musk has revealed that Soros is on the take of government funds, the exact same thing this thread accuses Musk of doing. But Soros is doing it, while Musk is truly trying to help the people, and NOT stealing government funds at the same time.


Tesla Rebounds After Trump Showcases Vehicles At White House


https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-will-buy-brand-new-tesla-show-support-musk-doge
President Trump announced plans to purchase a Tesla vehicle on Monday to show support for Elon Musk and DOGE.

Trump is checking out five different Tesla models. There is speculation that the president may choose the Cybertruck.

"Number one, it's a great product — as good as it gets — and number two, because he [Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated very unfairly," Trump told reporters, adding, "will be buying a Tesla today."

Recall Tesla was excluded from the Biden-Harris administration's EV summit at the White House in 2021.

Also, note that Tesla is one of the most made-in-America vehicles and fulfills Trump's 'America First' manufacturing pledge.

Did Tesla vehicles arriving at the White House put a bottom in the stock?

Meanwhile, Trump told reporters that ongoing violence by leftists against Tesla vehicles will be labeled as "domestic terrorism."

President Trump announced early Tuesday morning on Truth Social that he will support Elon Musk by purchasing a new Tesla.

While the president did not specify which model he intends to purchase, his endorsement comes as Musk's DOGE has been a massive success, neutering parts of the Deep State—though not without consequences for the billionaire.

Musk has faced backlash from unhinged leftists, who have attacked Tesla showrooms, torched Tesla Superchargers, attacked vehicles, and even initiated a boycott—all because these folks are outraged that DOGE has found billions of waste and fraud within the federal bureaucracy.

"To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is "putting it on the line" in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

So, a billionaire that has received and still receives plenty of Government contract has gone - unchecked and unelected

wheres your cries about samantha jane power who was not elected and was left unchecked to be the head of USAID durign bidens term?
when you see she is a LGBTQ rights person. you can see why USAID ended up going down th DEI path rather than being normal foreign aid(food/shelter/medical)

rampart on personel and costs of the government (not a bad thing) but disregarding much of the underlying real needs that were actually being covered, e.g. veterans.

And people are voting with their purchases which is reflected on the Tesla stock price. Shareholders at this point must be fuming.

TESLA didnt get dummy* grants from treasury.. lets explain what tesla did get:
its biggest so called "gov" related income was that it received carbon credits which was a private reserve/pool of funds(not public treasury tax). this separate pool of funds was from polluting businesses that pay for their pollution which then reward less polluting industry as a balancing act.. so this is not normal tax treasury funds. but a separate vessel/pool of funds

however trump actually stopped the carbon credit game. meaning tesla no longer gets that money.. and guess what, yep elon didnt complain nor beg trump to reverse the decision

oh and the only contracts of meaningful amount using public tax treasury money was not any random thing. but actual procurement of actual vehicles for public servants to drive around. so its not a donation nor a dummy* grant. but a purchase of actual fleets of cars, that were actually delivered

*(dummy)disappearing un-utilised money magic yearly (wasteful spending).

funny thing though..
biden earmarked and set aside $7.5billion intended to get 500,000 of EV car charging stations set up across the country.. but that money didnt even reach any car manufacturer nor tesla. they were meant to be unbranded state/ gov universal charging stations, and so the amount of EV chargers it suppose to make never got built.. but guess where the money did go.. yep no one knows

but there are not even 500,000, nor 200,000 nor 100,000 publicly funded universal unbranded chargers.

if you exclude all the branded charged self funded by car manufacturers. the numbers of publicly funded chargers is creepily low, compared to the $7.5b that was paid out for them..

so ask yourself what did that $7.5b pay for exactly.

if elon got $2.8b carbon credits (not treasury funds) and it makes you cry loudly
where did biden push the $7.5b from treasury in 2024 that didnt result in 500,000 charging stations promised

if you want to cry about the few grants to buy fleets of cars that the public sector employees are driving
where did sarah power spend hundreds of billions of treasury money on (not a spoiler: DEI)

Interestingly, there are already public demonstrations in a few sites on Tesla dealers. People simply gater in the gates and start scaring away prospective clients.

There you go, shorting Tesla in 3,2,1

From a maximum of above 400, now trading a 230 and the shares start to stink. But to be far, Tesla is always a ride so why this case may be special? Because this time there are very good reasons for the fall.

Maybe USA should cut all fossil fuel subsidies then? If you can afford pay the real price that is. Let their markets decide if they want to choose economical choices rather then
those gas guzzlers. Or doesn't that really work or aren't you that interested of wasting taxpayers money?

Tesla can go bankrupt for all i care, there are better EVs out there, and those companies that are selling more cars then tesla compared to their stock prices, that aren't that inflated. Wonder why.

Don't make a big deal out of it. If you bought Tesla over 6 months ago you are still up on your investment.
You're talking just like all those people who try to shit on bitcoin's performance saying that it's down 30% from the peak, but if you bought it last year you're up 100%.

Yes, there are good reasons for the fall: Soros is shorting it and paying for the protests to make money on his shorts, but Trump is already trying to counterattack by going after vandals who hit Tesla dealerships and taking a ride in one of Musk's cars to show support.

[franky1]

what i find funny is when people on this forum dont do research but then say something, but pretend its their thoughts even if its a slogan, script reciting of words heard by a certain group that also dont think for themselves in regards to researching the detail

words like
"receives plenty of Government contract has gone - unchecked and unelected"

elons tesla company has chairmen and board members, does audits, has a cfo
the grants actually produced something requested
as for what he does within the gov,
he has daily meetings with the president, elon doesnt sit at a computer rifling through each citizens data. instead he delegates other governemnt departments to do what they are allowed to do.
EG the "reply to email with 5 things you done this week. was not a elon personal email to all gov employee.. it was where he organised for the OPM(office of personnel management and all departments supervisers to handle the emails and make reports
yep elon didnt want nor get 3mill emails. instead the government departments that supervise their employees handled it, as they should, where elon just guided them to do what they should do


compare that to (as said before)
samantha jane power, she wasnt elected, she went unchecked, she get hundreds of billions and USaid has gone unchecked for decades, how wisely was that money used
heck the inspector generals whom for many years should have already found all the waste. yet didnt. so they were not performing their duties. so yep bye bye

oh and one last thing
the words "unchecked and unelected" show how those saying the words dont know how politics work, but by saying those specific words, reveals which media they got the idea from and what way that media lean

TESLA stock prices were on a bit of a tear, maybe a correction was inevitable. Trump’s tariff has created panic & uncertainty in markets so that has probably made the correction deeper than it would have been. This will all blow over when we get QE & rate cuts later this year in an everything blow off top.

[passwordnow]

I think that even Elon sees this happening. It came from him that the price of Tesla's stock is quite expensive, and I guess he's real honest with that.

It won't get bankrupt that easy. The stocks might fall but it won't go to zero and so as the company unless there is something happening internally that is beyond their control. I remember a video that Jeff Bezos said that they're looking at Amazon's stock going down but they're having good progress internally, this is possible with Tesla but I don't think so.

from may 2022- november 2024 tesla averaged $250
in december-jan it peaked to $440 and has now in march returned to the average of $250

so no loss really.. just a normal day

[Hispo]

I just wonder how far people are willing to go in order to avoid purchasing Teslas and even if the Boycott is effective, what companies are going to replace Tesla within the north American market? Trump is already giving some advertisement to Elon and his vehicles in Federal property, for the sake of the stock price, but that won't be enough.
Chinese electric vehicles are not going to make an entry within the American market, because of national security anyways, so I guess people will opt for Ford electrical vehicles (though, I am afraid those are not completely made in the USA and will also be affected by Trump tariffs).

learn about freeports

hint: when parts are made in other countries and imported to america as PARTS(not finished product ready for retail) no tariff is charged at the freeport
when ford then have a final assembly factory at the freeport to assemble the final car, its deemed as made in america. thus no tariff

I can see your money is not where your mouth is. Tesla is a company that suffers big swings, the question is why. There are normal market swings related to regulations, inflation, rates and in the case of Tesla a perpetual doubt about them actually being able to meet the production targets in time with the right quality.

However this time is not about that, this time is about people in front of the dealers saying no to the standard of Techno Fascism that Elon has become. And to be honest, many of the people who buy an electric vehicle do believe in climate change, do not see "baby drill" as a positive change and may simply walk away from Tesla.

Feel free to deny, but keep your portfolio clear of Tesla, just like it is now

That is another thing I don't get from the political and commercial alliance Trump has with Elon, though. Recently, Trump appeared advertising Teslas by pretending to buy one directly from Elon. But was not Trump against electric cars and was all about drilling oil to keep the country energy independent?
The average Trump vote is being told two things which seems to completely contradict one another: drill drill drill and electric cars are good (because of the reality of climate change).
Still, those who believe climate change is a reality are democrats or liberals who are going to continue to boycott Tesla in favor or other companies whose CEOs are not blatantly in the bed with Trump for the sake of money and power...
Obviously, Musk will try to make other brands of electric cars as expensive as possible for the general public.
