Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Shooting yourself in the head in a bunker speedrun GO!
Over the weekend, he shared clip from a Tesla fan account of the prototype for the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxi the company will allegedly be making by 2026.
It is so accurate they qualified this with "allegedly" in this sentence.
I received 0 money from any Democratic donor. They don't have to pay me to enjoy watching your downfall.
The amount of raw, undiluted satisfaction that would come from watching Musk's fortune disappear would probably be enough to tide me over for the rest of the Trump presidency. I could be sent to a concentration camp slaving away somewhere manufacturing MAGA merch, and I'd still have a smile on my face knowing Elon went broke.
Oh wow look taking hard political stances is actually bad for business. A fact known for pretty much all of time. I wonder how the self proclaimed genius didn't see this coming.
Lol he's so panicked he's had to order Trump to send a tweet to try to convince right wingers to buy EVs now.
This coming from the same exact person that called for a boycott of Tesla not just two years ago, is fucking rich.
Like, what in the actual fuck. How is it illegal to boycott Tesla? But it wasn't illegal when all the rednecks wanted to boycott bud-light for having a pro gay add? This clown is a fucking joke.
Because their boycotts usually consisted of buying a lot of the stuff they were angry about and then throw it away, burn it out shoot at it. 🤣

How do you illegally boycott something? I know he’s a fucking moron but this is one of the stupidest things he’s ever said
In Texas, if you have a contract with the state or a school district, you have to sign a contract where you agree not to "boycott israel" whatever that means. So I guess if one was to "boycott israel" while taking money from the state of Texas, that could be considered an illegal boycott.

So we can add "illegal" to the list of words Trump uses but doesn't know the meaning of.
LOL! Remember when conservatives were blocking Tesla chargers with their lifted trucks? The vast majority of conservatives who can afford EVs don't want them anyway because it doesn't make "vroom, vroom" sounds.
I fucking hate that man.
Man who doesn't drive buys fascist car to show solidarity with worlds richest man.
Holy shit I would laugh so hard if all these right-wing chucklefucks over-leveraged themselves on a Tesla, couldn't pay the monthly payments, the car got repo'ed and they lost their home in the process.
I would love an explanation of how the boycott against Tesla is illegal.
"L'état, c'est moi," so anything he doesn't like is illegal.
Especially considering the Anheiser Busch (or however it's spelled) boycot over someone else's gender identity.
The ones yelling "Snowflake!!11" for a decade turned out to be crybabies. Who woulda thunk.
and busch had the last laugh, because they got ALCOHOLICS hooked they will never stop drinking busch beers.

Elon: Does a Nazi salute then proceeds to do Nazi stuff within the confines of the U.S. government.
Also Elon: Why is everyone picking on me?
If he had just never started posting, he'd have such a better life.
He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔
Drugs are a powerful drug

God damn is he stupid. TF did he think was gonna happen when he pissed off the kind of people that buy EV's
Nothing. He's not used to consequences.
He thought he was smarter and that it would be over in a week. He thought no one would keep listening to the bad and they are the type of leaders that only listen to themselves within their own echo chamber.
musk melts down
ah, I was hoping it was literal. maybe one day, fingers crossed.

Good, strip his US citizenship and send his worthless back to South Africa.
We don't want him back, send him to Antarctica.
Just grant him his wish to go to Mars. We all get a happy ending ;)
and risk having him make first contact with alien life?
any alien civilization that comes into contact with him will default to exterminating the human race after incinerating him on the spot.
Really feels like I got a front row seat to this massive dumpster fire of an administration.
Musk = POS Nazi wannabe!
He is a Nazi.
Good. Fuck him and fuck that overvalued shitty car company.
"Nazi Cries"
"Sieg creil"
What are the odds he had someone torch a few cars just so he could try involving militia, etc?
The old "look look antifa!"
