For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Boycotting Tesla isn't performative. Elon owns 12% of Tesla. Tesla's net profit per car is $8k. 12% of $8k is $960. Tesla stock has a PE ratio of 200x. $960 x 200 = $192,000.
That's right, every Tesla sold is worth $192,000 to Elon in stock value.
Elon uses that value to support Trump and overthrow Democracy worldwide.
I believe the part they consider performative is just the expectation that people who already have them need to get rid of them, sustaining a really big personal loss with no direct benefit in terms of hurting teslas bottom line. But I can see how their exact phrasing could be ambiguous what they really mean
