This is so encouraging! I wish there were a Tesla dealership within reach -- but hey, there are plenty of other things to protest, boycott, etc.

I'd like to see more attention paid to the billionaires and mega-multimillionaires behind various right-wing politicians (and, of course, Supreme Court justices). Who knows, maybe this tariff fiasco will get more of us thinking harder about what "the economy" is and how it works.

Lots of folks are doing supercharger stations as well. And TT just launched a local divestment strategy that's relevant everywhere! As far as other billionaires, Musk still has a lot of lessons to learn, so I know many of us plan to keep teaching it to him and hopefully making him a cautionary example for the rest of them https://www.teslatakedown.com/divest

And Elon wants to run his enterprises like tech startups. That means lots of people work 60 - 80 hour weeks so their stock options are profitable. When he can't stop shooting off his mouth and joining toxic political causes, he's going to demoralize his workforce, if he hasn't already. It's not difficult to see how this will end up. GM tried crushing workers with management abuse roughly a half century ago, and the cars they produced were toxic (!)... Remember the Corvair? I'm sure Ralph Nader does...prosecuting its defects is how he got his start. And GM management sicced prostitutes on Ralph hoping to discredit him with some publicized sexual shenanigan.

If you don't have a dealership near you, the next big day of action is May Day (heh).

Or set up a protest at your local supercharger station. They're in just about every city in America at this point.
