    Yeah guys you realize that many, probably most Tesla owners bought their cars before Musk fully took off the mask right? Now I know all the lemmies have unlimited cash and would have sold their Tesla at a loss and bought another vehicle, but outside of Lemmy a lot of people are on tight budgets.

    I’d be disappointed if family or friends bought Tesla at this point or anytime in the last two’ish years but wanting to “destroy families” and “end careers” is absolutely nuts and is only going to play into the alt-right’s hands.

    Safe bet that over the next few days some middle of the road suburban mom or dad is going to get accosted and perhaps attacked for driving a Tesla. Then shortly after the alt-right is going to be chatting with suburban parent saying “yeah the left, they’re crazy right?”

    And guess what? The alt-right will grow by at least 1, and probably more as suburban parent drags their spouse, kids, and parents into the alt-right.

      He’s been a shit for a decade. It was 2019 when the pedo sub stuff went down. That’s arguably the pnr.

      You can always sell your swasticar, don’t pretend otherwise.

      Anyone who bought a cybertruck knew who they were buying into.

              If you don’t want people pointing out that you’re simping for elon with extra steps, stop doing that.

                Nah, I’m just pointing out how numbers work.

                Hundreds of thousands of Teslas were sold before Musk pulled off the mask. Cybertrucks account for a tiny percent of Teslas.

                By all means, boycott Tesla. I sure as hell wouldn’t buy one anymore.

                  And I’m pointing out how time works. If you’re a cybertruck owner, you couldn’t have bought one before it became obvious what elon was.

                    Yes. I get that and I agree with you. But now we’re missing the context: This discussion started over harassing if not attacking Tesla owners in general. My original point is that many if not most Tesla owners bought their vehicles before Musk took off the mask. It’s fine to point out Cybertruck owners as making the decision knowingly, but keep in mind they are like .005 percent of all Tesla owners.

      I can’t possibly be doing the jerkoff gesture any harder than I’m doing it right now.

      Yes, destroy families and end careers. And that’s to START WITH.

      “Oh dear, don’t upset the Nazi sympathizers- they might have no choice but to become Nazis.”

      Stop.

        It’s hilarious that you think that you are fighting against the Nazis. Nah, you’re just one of their pawns.

        Fuck Musk, I hope he gets what he deserves. Fuck Tesla, I would never buy one, not any more. But I’m not going to be an unwitting supporter of their long-term goals.

        The alt-right is making obvious plays following well-known playbooks, and you’re lapping it up, doing exactly what they want you to do.

          I think the real answer, and what could actually hurt Tesla, is flooding the market with cheap used Teslas. If you don’t care about the politics and optics and are looking to buy a Tesla, you might be able to pick up a gently used one at a major discount. This could drive buyers away from show rooms and new cars, which could cripple Tesla.

          To be clear, I do not support attacking or harassing Tesla owners. Doing so will only swell the ranks of the alt-right.

        what in my comment in any way justifies this response? Yes, I’m familiar with how this is used on Reddit.

        Do you actually have anything to say or?
