Republicans flock to buy racist cars, only find electric. Confusion sets in.
But the confusion is fleeting, as it always is, because they don’t have the brain power to process the cognitive dissonance.
So they just trail off and then start screaming at the wind? Lead poisoning is a bitch.
Surely fox news will tell them how to think.
And it will be in everyone’s best own interests.
There you go. It was all OK until it impacted $$. Glad they finally did something, but wish it would have been based on an actual ethical concern.
this is one of the few levers of power we have. remember that every nickel they have comes from us working and us buying.
I think what you’re saying is either inaccurate or excessively vague. Many ultra rich people got money by inheriting it, through the stock market, and to a much lesser degree, through government spending programs.
The way you framed the issue is a classic one, and it’s essentially blaming us, the consumers, for creating the problem that we are facing. First of all, that would simply be inaccurate because there are many causes, and second of all, it doesn’t really matter who you blame. The question is how we can fix the broken situation.
blame, responsibility, and the ability to do something are three interrelated but distinct concepts. the ability to force bad actors to change by refusing to reward them for bad actions does not put the blame on us for failure to do so. If you forget to lock your front door and someone robs you, there was something you could have done to prevent the robbery but only the thief carries the blame.
I love how you protest blaming consumers and then in the next sentence say “it doesn’t matter who you blame”. The answer to “how we can fix the broken situation” starts with identifying the problem (AKA laying blame).
In reality, there is no shortage of people to blame. You can blame the corporations, the stock market, politicians, nepotism, capitalism AND consumers, and none of that would be wrong. The only wrong thing to do is to remove blame from any of them.
I don’t expect people making bank to have many ethical concerns, tbh.
“It’s just one small thing. Besides, there are many other things to complain about!” said every investor tied to everything people complain about, probably.
These people have money for blood, what makes you think their ethics are any different? I don’t care what sets the face eating leopards off so long as they get to eating faces.
Expecting investors to behave ethically instead of in their financial interest? I see you’re feeling bold today
This is capitalism. There is no place for “actual ethical concern.”
Ethical concerns are not in line with corporate ethics.
I’m waiting for Apple and Google to pull the X client from their app stores.
Then the fun really begins.
Not going to happen as all these companies work together. these companies are notorious to trick regulars into thinking they are helping the society.

I hate billionaire nazis
but you repeat yourself.
All billionaires are cunts. All Nazis are cunts. Not all billionaires are Nazis.
Shares of Tesla rose approximately 10% this week
Clickbait headlines. A few investors threw lip service but money talks and it seems most of them don’t care too much.
What a fucking clown. Unbelievable.
Musk going down in history as the person removed from leadership in the largest number of billion dollar companies ever.
Hurt him in the way that’s most painful to narcissists: remove his ability to generate narcissistic supply. Kill Xcrement.
Tesla Investors Call for Musk’s Suspension
They’ll quickly find themselves in the same position as the GOP with Trump. Where they want to replace him and cut their losses but the cult of personality is around that one person and nothing else. That’s what happens when your audience is so cult-like and fanatical. Not that I feel bad for either the GOP or Tesla obviously, it’s still their fault for cultivating these bastards and they don’t deserve the slightest sympathy.
Or just that Elon’s shares are big enough that he can dictate what happens
I’m sure his response will be doubling down and turning away more investors. But if that goofy fucking truck being shit, delayed, and possibly a scam didn’t dissuade them…
All xitter fights aside, he has clearly been an absolutely awful CEO for a car company. He should have been expelled long before the xitter debacle.
If you don’t get in line Musk, I’ll feed you to the peasant rats!
The peasant rats:
BirdChan is turning into a shit show and the blast radius is very large. When you pretend to be smart and savvy catching up to you in a very large and glaringly painful way.
Daily Musk spam
Musk finally end that step too far. Dude forgot there’s a world out there beyond the weird right-wing bubble he’s created for himself on X.
Personally I think the only reason for this action is the Swedish Unions blockade.
I think they’d have let him be as shitty as he wanted for as long as he wanted if not for their profits being impacted.
