    “Illegally boycotting.”

    Trump is hilarious. Like the government can stop me from NOT BUYING something.

    Sounds like if he had it his way, we’d be forced to buy only what he declared and in the quantities the law stipulates, regardless of need or ability to pay.

      Excuse me sir, have you performed your government mandated consumption today? It looks like your spending quota is a little low, how about ordering some tasty Dominoes^TM and signing up for a subscription service or your choice? Remember what your mother taught you: “a penny saved is a penny wasted”. Money atrophies if you keep it locked up, everyone knows that! You need to keep that cash aerated, circulate it!

      There is no boycott.

      I don’t buy a Teslas because I don’t want a Tesla, but if it was somehow possible to illegally boycott Tesla, then I would totally not buy a Tesla illegally.

    “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.

        Don’t call them swasticars. Elon hates them being called swasticars. So, don’t call them swasticars online, and don’t call them swasticars irl. Elon is sad and depressed and having a very not fun time lately, so don’t kick him while he’s down by calling his babies swasticars.

    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 like the idea that Trump is Musk’s new car salesman. Oval Office/Tesla Headquarters.

    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)
