Even before the Salut a lot of people realized he's with far right. The Nazi-salut was just the icing on top. And as someone said before: At least German Nazis built good cars. All I know is his Swasticars are Schrott.
"Muskrat currently planning on suing every citizen of those countries for not buying a Swasticar. 'It's illegal to hold my business accountable for my actions!' "
the crazy thing is how did US politicians that are supposed to be all tough and about drilling and all that bull let some electric car owning dork take over?
Tesla is a company that produces almost literally nothing. By far the fewest vehicles (and low quality at that), no actual products to speak of. In The modern economy, it's not profitable to "make" things, you generate hype around your "potential to make things" this brings in investors who have more money than god to blow on your business and you make your money. Now, as shadow president, he's got all the hype investment he needs. These sales decrease don't hurt him a bit
Partly also because a lot of countries ended subsidies for electric cars. Like many of the richest people, Musk relies on taxpayer money to inflate his wallet.
Money does not matter to him. Validation and power are his only motivations. He could not care less about any of the company's that he is 'CEO' of, he is beyond that. We have created a monster
It's good that people starting to get this... So many are still like "haha look what he wasted on Twitter! What a moron"... No, look at how little he had to spend to buy such a powerful position. Sadly he's not stupid, he's a cunt.
Spain shows the largest % decline. Spain is also the one with the most recent experience with fascism, starting the transition to democracy only after Franco died in 1975.
FFS, Eurovision is broadcast in these countries, so gets to participate in the stupid song contest. Does it blow your mind that TV signals aren’t constrained by geographic location?
Funny you say that, I had some asshat on FB tell me that "operation paperclip" is "almost complete" with the fascist takeover of the US government. It was wild.
3 of the main European belligerents of a world war over THIS VERY ISSUE don't fucking get it right now. please piss right off pretending its otherwise.
I'd agree with you but seeing the scum crawling up from the gutters and actually getting any votes all around Europe is sickening. There's a gigantic fearmongering billboard for AfD right in front of my workplace. Straight from American conservatist textbook.
None of that will matter when the he gets the government contract for the Cyber Truck to become the official replacement for the Humvee in the US military. Retail sales are for regular people.
I mean... he's infiltrated the US Treasury already. When you have access to every dollar in the United States' coffers, car sales are probably not a high priority anymore. Like picking up a penny on the street.
Do you have a better proposal on how we can annoy the man? Im not in the states so I cant really hold protests here. I am not understanding Americans right now, if this happened anywhere in europe we would be burning down his house down.
Fucking with his branding is fucking with his money. Eu sales have plummeted since he did the nazi salute. Fucking with brandig of a world wide company is an effective money drain, plus its pretty easy to do. But if you have a better suggestion on how to do it im all ears.
Nah, Elon is competing with with military complex. You think the manufacturers of the Humvee gonna allow a South African fuck head Nazi take away their gravy boat?
This is a good point. Congress and courts or the people may not stop him... but there are lot of people with their hands in the government pockets who aren't going to put up with his shit.

My doctor drives a Tesla; I have changed doctors.

Sadly, this is mostly just due to cheaper cars like the BYD Dolphin being available.
We did all fight the nazis during WW2, but NOT because they were nazis.
Don't forget that.

More or less has been since they were allowed into the Eurovision Song Contest.

They want to be though. Just like Canada.

How dare you, do you know few intercountry singing tournaments are available in the southern hemisphere?
Have you ever heard a Kiwi accent? Or a white South African one? Do you really want to be responsible for these people singing more?

It'll never happen though as long as MorroccanOil is sponsoring Eurovision (they're an Israeli corporation)

No, because that would be anti-semitism!! Or I don't know, I'm not a nazi.

You don't get to tell Australia what to identify as.

Well, I mean, if he can gut the military before they start invading places...

Eh. US military has 120,000 humvees. Tesla sells 150,000 vehicles per month.
Iwantcutedogs
Just so you are aware we are referring to Cyber Trucks as Wankpanzer.
The Wankpanzer is a model of the Swasticar brand which is run by Adolf Titler.
We need the messaging to be on point so the nazi fuck Elongated Muskrat loses even more sales.

I mean... he's infiltrated the US Treasury already. When you have access to every dollar in the United States' coffers, car sales are probably not a high priority anymore. Like picking up a penny on the street.
