All around the US and Europe, people have been protesting Tesla dealerships, all because of Elon Musk’s catastrophic meddling into geopolitics. Some people have gone further than protesting – there are multiple cases of vandalism and arson in and around Tesla dealerships, mostly in Europe. Here in America, police have been called in to “guard” Tesla dealerships, which is… a significant waste of police resources. Tesla owners are also afraid to drive their cars openly, and apparently those owners have been trying to offload their Teslas at a steady clip. With the stock market crashing this week, one of the biggest selloffs has been Tesla’s stock – between the cratering Tesla stock price and the billions in canceled contracts, Musk’s net worth has taken a significant hit since he became co-president of the US.
So Musk decided to fight back. First, he threw a series of tantrums online, peddling conspiracies about all of the backlash to his companies and the Tesla stock selloff. Then Musk organized a grotesque photocall outside of the White House. He brought in several Tesla models and parked them right outside the White House. Then Donald Trump came out and acted like a car salesman, trying to pitch Teslas to the American people. Musk even wrote down a sales pitch for Trump to read out. What a depressing day for America – two horrid men who are too incompetent and untrustworthy to be used car salesmen. “Wow, everything’s computer” is unfortunately going to become a meme though. This is all so crass and tacky.
Trump: Wow… Everything’s computer

Trump: I’m not allowed to drive because I haven’t driven a car in a long time. I love to drive cars. But I’m going to have it at The White House and I’m going to let my staff use it. I’m not allowed to use it pic.twitter.com/75aKIJa6yR

BOYCOTT Tesla, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby and every single company, big or small, that has supported this moronic orange clown and his racist, homophobic sexist agenda. How much did muskrat pay agent orange for this plug? Gawd. Mango can violate the law openly with product endorsements and open bribery without 1 word of outrage in the media while every Democrat elected in my lifetime has constant critism heaped on them. The free press has fallen.
At this point non-Americans just need to boycott all American goods until their voters get the message.
I’ve cancelled my American streaming services, don’t use Amazon anyway and avoid American fastfood (which I didn’t consume much anyway). No X for me either. Won’t go there either as long as Trump is in power.
Also changing from google to other search engines.
I will still support American artists and writers (or websites) that are taking a stand against Trump or any wholesome alternative to compromised brands.
As an American who works with a global team, I am very much encouraging my colleagues to avoid buying American
‘How much did muskrat pay agent orange for this plug?’ He bought the presidency for trump, that’s how much.
Also, I’ve been noticing lately that every time I google someone or something I get a twitter post near the top of the results. Any other search engine people can recommend?
Duckduckgo
I second that, or Firefox
So many people in my town have Teslas and many have purchased bumper stickers that say “I bought it before I knew Elon was crazy.”
But they were death traps before we knew Elon was crazy.
This right here. So many people burned alive here. The lithium batteries burn too hot.
it’s the kind of car you encourage a spouse you can’t afford to divorce to buy (and then increase the life insurance policy you have on them)
Trump himself said on Truth Social how awful Tesla was, that’s before he hooked up with Elon 😶
He also campaigned on doing away with all electric vehicle initiatives to produce more gasoline-powered cars.
Presumably Elon is going to jail after Trump’s term?
It would be a miracle.
One can live in hope.
My personal preference is for Elon to overdose and let it be completely self-inflicted. Not enough to kill himself, but enough to leave him cognizant of his surroundings, unable to care for himself or to communicate. Let him spend the rest of his miserable life sitting in a stew of his own pi__ and sh__, watched over by hired caregivers who are only there because they are being paid an absolute fortune to do the barest minimum.
That spares the taxpayers from having to pay a dime toward a trial, his incarceration or his “care.”
This assumes we’re going to have free and fair elections going forward…
Exactly. You won’t get out of this mess for a long time. Kim dong trump will protect himself accordingly. And part of the world will go down with you. Because the usa is a power in everything and will start invading other countries like kim dong idols.
I once dreamed of watching him squirm in a hearing, but he will likely be proactively pardoned. *sad trombone noises*
We can only hope.
The WH belongs to the Americans and this was beyond vulgar. My opinion of trump used to be that he is insane. However, I now believe the problem is progressive cognitive disability and he should be evaluated by an expert. He is not fit to be president.
It’s also a flagrant violation of federal ethics laws. It’s one thing for a president to showcase a new American innovation, especially if there are no competitors yet, a completely different thing to promote a specific product over competitors.
Also, Musk holding a federal position while running companies, especially companies that get federal contracts, is grossly unethical and illegal.
That right there. Can you imagine if Biden tried to have Soros or some other billionaire with federal contracts get into supposedly secure financial files of his competitors? It’s mind boggling to me the right wing is just rolling over and letting them become the party of corruption. Of course it’s a cult so they are just drinking their kool aid.
We’ve known from the first term that DJT completely ignores any talk of ethical precedent or conflict of interest. The release of his “meme coin” right before inauguration, netting him billions, (bribes and money laundering) was a big “f – you” to those who care about conflicts of interest. Open corruption. Our laughable ‘guardrails’ and ‘precedents’ have been eviscerated. They don’t work with a mob boss and his enablers. And immediately after the Tesla commercial at the White House Musk contributes $100 million to DJT.

I mean, he did admit right up front that he’s “not allowed to drive anymore.” Not that he doesn’t drive or hasn’t driven or has people to do that for him…but that he’s not allowed.
That man is not cognitively, physically, or morally fit enough to run a mini-mart, but my fellow Americans thought he should run the country. I’m a writer and even I cannot find the words to convey how disgusted I am.
There is no way that he would pass the exam (written, driving or vision) to get a driver’s license in probably all states at his age. He probably hasn’t had a drivers license in decades.
Spokesmodel Bonespurs.
But he IS allowed to drive golf carts. He probably does a ‘dukes of hazzard’ over the sand traps, straight into a pond.
People are also disguising their Teslas to look like other brands it’s wild. The Tesla boycott and protests are working! Phony Stark is freaking out, he lost $110 billion dollars in the past four weeks, keep it up! First Elon falls then hopefully Trump, the Republican Party, then Russia. Billionaires need us we don’t need them. Vote with your consumer dollars to bring them to heel. That display in front of Our House yesterday was appalling (Hatch Act?) but it shows you how desperate those two narcissistic sociopaths are.
Yeah.
Don’t buy Tesla, don’t use X and we can write to politicians asking them not to use Starlink in our countries.
We’re waging war against our allies, there’s a measles outbreak that’s spreading with the threat of more potential viruses to come, planes are not safe, the DOE lost of half of its staff adding to unemployment, retirement accounts are tanking, inflation is skyrocketing, and we’re heading for a recession. And the two trolls plotting to decimate Medicaid, Medicare, and steal your SS wants you to buy a car…because Elon’s hurting for cash. I truly hate my country right now.
Right? Every time I think I can’t be more disgusted at Trump, I am. I felt a level of rage yesterday that is probably extremely unhealthy.
I don’t hate my country, but I sure as hell hate Trump, Elon, all the DOGE engineers going after our private information and threatening Medicare, Medicaid, SS, etc, and I hate everyone who voted for the orange fool who has seized our White House. Some of his supporters are finally waking up after losing their jobs and facing possible bankruptcy. We tried to tell you that the man is a fraud, a huckster, and a thief.
They forget Trump’s base and Tesla’s are fundamentally incompatible. Trump’s base doesn’t have the capital to buy and don’t live in areas with charging stations everywhere.
They also prefer gas-guzzling trucks over EVs because they want to convey an image of tough, rugged masculinity and don’t believe in climate change.
The SECDEF Jaegermeister just canceled about $90 million in climate studies, calling them ‘crap’. Meanwhile, the US Navy knows otherwise & is preparing appropriately. Going to be interesting.
Exactly which MAGAts do they think are going to trade in their Ford 950 for a Tesla? Elon still has no idea that his real customer base is the very people he insults constantly, and a Trump endorsement is the last thing that would redeem him with them.
Exactly. And Elon is rapidly losing the base that helped build the business. What a shame (haha).
Trump’s “base” couldn’t afford one tire on these cars.
My favorite part of this is when Musk speaks to Trump as if he has no idea what a car is. “It’s like a golf cart but it goes really fast!” 🤔
These two clowns are giving used car salesmen bad reps (🫤).
The way Muskrat plays into Mango’s greed and insecurities is a master class in manipulation—cherry red souped-up cars, throwing fists of cash.
I’m having a difficult time envisioning how this all ends with Muskrat. (Make it happen soon 🤞🏼).
If Borat was orange..it’s like the country has turned into a skit. Surely the Republicans who had grandiose visions of some neo Puritan god state have to be sick with embarrassment. This is so bizarre. Talk about questioning Bidens judgement and mental capacity.
Back to the Future Part Two with President Biff in power.
Nailed it. Who could have known that movie was predicting the ACTUAL future.
Skits are supposed to be funny. This one is tragic and scary.
The President of the United States has become a sleazy used car salesman. I am so embarrassed to be American.
Also, I cringe so much when I see Leon’s son always with him now that I know that he is his human shield. My god, that poor little boy.
The kid should be in school. Or playing with friends after school. Not this.
Super pathetic. What is next, will Tesla produce the “Fight, fight, fight” Trump edition? Lot’s of gold trim to make it “authentic”? First 10,000 autographed with a Sharpie?
I thought Trump was against everything green when it comes to cars, electricity ect. From what I have read, you cannot sell a Tesla without permission from Tesla. So good luck to all those wanting to sell them.
He has criticized Tesla many times in the past, he’s only now making a u-turn.
Agent Krasnov now is just a car salesman. With his decades of experience in lying, he is quite qualified for that job.
Two of the most grotesque creatures and they are holding this country hostage.
What stinks most is that I like the car. I wouldn’t have bought it if I didn’t. But hate the gross human being at the helm. I hope he has to sell the company so that someone far less despicable can take over and improve the car and you know, not peddle insanity. Not holding my breath that someone that rich is ever going to be a good person, but there has to be someone better.
Me too. I’ll risk having tomatoes thrown at my head and admit we have one and we love it. Serious discussion in our household right now is getting rid of it and getting another brand of EV. I’m NEVER going back to gas vehicles.
Once again I’m trying but failing to imagine what the GOP would have said if Obama or Biden had turned the WH into a car lot. The lack of anything even approaching the dignity of the office is astonishing.
“Tesluuurr…”
“IM NOT ALLOWED”…how sad.
also im so tired of this poor child being used as a human shield for these public events. there is no reason this child should be present and please everyone notice he is always being kept near or being touched by M*sk…not a coincidence, hes using his own child as protection from attacks.
PSA to all the US Celebitchies!!
Download the 5 calls app or go to 5calls.org & get the script. Call your senators TODAY to tell them to vote NO on the Continuing Resolution for the shut down! It’s not a clean bill and gives musk more control SHUT IT DOWN!
