I think a cybertruck would have been more appropriate. A lot of people bought a model X before we knew he was a nazi. Granted the X is still a bad car imo.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 67 points 2 months ago

But other Tesla models are still selling much better than the Nazitruck. If we want to make a point and make a dent in Musk's profits as he strips our country for scrap metal and fires everyone, we need to discourage people from associating with anything that gives the bastard more money/power.

You have my full support and i fully agree on your last point but in nuance Tesla could go bankrupt and Musks wealth will hardly make a dent. With a budget of spending a mil a day it would still take centuries to blow trough all his money.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 months ago

Isn't most of his wealth in stocks? If investors think Tesla is a bad stock (because no one will buy the cars), then Musk is poor.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Actually you are correct. I thought i had found a number for his liquid money but it wasn’t.

Also got a bit hung up on his stake in Tesla being just 13% but with Tesla being valued at ~900B thats still over ~100B of his ~320B “value”

[-] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yes it is, and crashing Tesla stock will certainly make him less rich. He still has his other shit companies, so crashing Tesla stocks alone won't make him poor, but we might not have to hear quite so much about him.

Tesla and space x are the big ones.

[-] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Agreed, and a big advertisor exodus from Twitter would help.

It's not about denting his money, it's about denting his image. Let the free market see he's toxic, and that will send ripples to places even Republicans care about: their wallets. Specifically, it can impact Tesla stock.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah but I bought a used model 3 a couple years ago and I really like it :( I don't want one nazi asshole to ruin it for me but it's a losing battle. I reserved an Aptera 2 or 3 years ago and I was hoping to not get another car until that's ready.

Cybertrucks aren't sold in the uk

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't matter anyway though since the cyber truck isn't available in Europe let alone in the UK in fact the one guy that imported one (why, he had to know it was illegal) had it impounded.

The idiot had it under foreign plate because obviously he can't get plate tags for it in the UK. He's breaking so many laws.

The best bit is that it was impounded in a Morrison's car park which is a bit like Walmart in terms of classiness. So presumably he spent all his money on the car.

[-] Oaksey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yani of carwow?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 months ago

I disagree. They all need to be sold, and their value needs to plummet. This is the way the people can speak against this man.

These are insanely expensive cars. Nobody who has one can't sell it and get a literal new car with the money, or a fantastic used car.
