Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to get rid of citizen's united and implement independent district drawing and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

"illegally and collusively boycott". Trump is such a turd of emotions. Just says things that feel true, and his idiot followers gobble it up. I don't think there's any case where a boycott is illegal, and colluding is just a scarier word for organizing or cooperating.
colluding is just a scarier word for organizing or cooperating.
Makes sense when you remember that he doesn't want people cooperating, that's communism ~/s~ . He wants people obeying.
The only reason Trump knows what the word colluding means is because of his collusion with Russia.
I don’t think there’s any case where a boycott is illegal,
The USA has made boycotting the zionist entity illegal, many states require businesses to sign pledges not to boycott as conditions to getting contracts. So much for that "freedum of speech".
I wonder whatever happened with Musk's claims that companies not advertising on Xitter was illegal collusion.
A quick Qwant search later: it seems he's expanded the suit: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/01/nx-s1-5283271/elon-musk-lawsuit-advertisers-boycott-new
Unfortunately, his abuse has already SLAPPed down the original group behind the assessment that led to the boycott, but now that the world's bestest genius evar has decided to also take on (check article) Lego, Nestlé, Tyson Foods, Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Pinterest and Shell International?
Hopefully, he's bitten off more than he can chew.
When you know the truth about Tesla, the term "Elon's baby" makes him sound the world first "car cuck".
TIL it's illegal to not buy a Tesla.
This is just a car ad.
This is a car ad for every car except Teslas. Maybe it's an ad for bikes too.
This is the shit that really bugs me with Trump in office again. He is the leader of the executive branch and just throws out statements saying boycotting is illegal.
His words should matter and the office should matter but it’s all just reality TV horseshit.
I’m sick of it.
I am sure the republican "silent majority" will save tesla!
Guarantee that Trump did not drop even $40k of his "billions" to help save Tesla.
Tesla being down 30% since last month. Keep it up!
No-no-no. Keep it down. Even "downer" :)
Bigly down
Lmao on these whiny ass babies. Fuck Tesla, if people don't want to buy them, you can't stop them.
Soon to be added to government employment applications.....how many tesla do you own and if accepting the job, would you qualify for financing for a tesla?
It is working. Keep boycotting US everyone!
(Americans we still love most of you as individuals, its just .. the threats and backstabbing by your leader is a bit much)
Totally understand. Keep the boycotts running. We'll keep doing what we can from here. This isn't just about the US, it never was. Until we bury ALL the fascists, it's gonna be a little hectic around this 3rd stone from the Sun. Stay strong, perseverance furthers.
I wonder how his "rolling coal" idiot followers are going to love getting a tesla to pwn the libs.
Implies they're capable of independent thought whilst wacking off to their king's every word.
They'll just fall in line with the narrative.
While it's true that Elon Musk was being criticized by some for various reasons, the fact remains that Donald Trump's decision to buy a Tesla car as a response to criticism is more of a publicity stunt than an actual attempt to address the concerns.
To put this into perspective, let's look at the net worth of Donald Trump. According to Forbes' 2022 estimates, Trump's net worth is approximately $3.2 billion. Now, compare that to the price tag of a Tesla Model S, which can cost anywhere from $80,000 to over $100,000, depending on the trim level and options.
In this context, buying one Tesla car represents only a tiny fraction of Trump's overall net worth. For instance, if we assume he bought a base model Tesla at $80,000, that would account for less than 0.0025% of his estimated net worth.
So, why the fuss? This purchase seems more like a symbolic gesture to appease his critics and demonstrate his wealth rather than an actual demonstration of his commitment to environmental causes or technological innovation. It's likely that Trump was trying to show off his supposed "status symbol" and "rich person problems," which has become a hallmark of his brand.
This is like a buddy helping out another buddy by giving him the change he found in his couch. It's sad that people will fall for this type of hollow gesture.
Of course, the guy knows the word "collusively":
secretly acting together for a fraudulent or illegal purpose
It's like the word was made for him...
Don't worry, dumpy will divert federal funds to some other elon owned business under the guise of removing corruption and cronyism.
Most likely i'd say spacex/starlink related, since there are few that can compete in private space in terms of us companies right now. hundreds of billions can easily be sunk into anything aerospace related.
I hope he drives it and the brakes fail as the steering wheel falls off.
It would be a truly funny timeline if the self driving managed to kill both Trump and Musk
In a show of support for Elon Musk, a truly great ~~South African~~ American
