Robert Reich: Elon Musk is spending millions to elect Trump. Let’s boycott his companies - The Guardian

Musk is determined to help Trump win. Perhaps it’s no surprise that both men believe democracy can be bought off

1. Can't that creep just jump into one of his rockets

and get lost in space? Oh and bring tRump with you, Muskrat.

2. Long overdue, I never bought one because I didn't want my cash going to MAGA

I knew this YEARS ago.

Imagine being liberal and funneling cash to that clown.

3. There's MORE Muskratfkry: Elon Musk's X Fighting Not to Give Up Information in Epstein Victim Case

Elon Musk's X Fighting Not to Give Up Information in Epstein Victim Case - Yahoo

Lawyers for X-formerly-Twitter are, for some reason, refusing to provide one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims with information from her own account.

As Business Insider reports, attorneys representing artist and Epstein victim Rina Oh Amen have repeatedly tried to get the Elon Musk-owned social network to provide them access to her locked-out accounts.

In response to those subpoenas, however, lawyers for X told the attorneys that they should ask Oh Amen — even though the information release demands were sent at her behest.

The subpoenas came amid legal disputes between the artist and Virginia Giuffre, perhaps the most well-known Epstein victim due to her allegedly being recruited at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

4. Let's Boycott Xitter while we are at it!

Mastodon and Bluesky are great alternatives. Especially Mastodon with its newer social version!

Threads is the most likely one to threaten Musk but you go use it you are just replacing one Billionaire for another!

5. Like I said, his vehicles are butt-ugly (wouldn't own one if I could) and

I've NEVER used Xhitter (unless I click on something that takes me there).

6. Boycott the Musk Propaganda Arm

Every click to xitter is a donation to Trump.

Advertisers look at site traffic to decide on spending ad money. Every view of twitter puts money in Musk;s pocket. Musk is using his money to finance Trump.

It's hard to totally avoid xitter. I suggest two things:
-quote the tweet: copy&paster or describe in text. This reduces traffic from hundreds of views to one
-search for and post alternative sources. I've done this several times recently, and always found reputable alternatives to xitter, often the sources which xitter stole

7. Thanks for the hint. Great headline below

8. Welp, I can't comply

Love my 2024 Model 3.

9. So far ahead of him. I won't even click a Twitter link anymore, I once enjoyed Twitter.

But I'll be damned straight to the bowels of imaginary hell if I will do one THING to help that fucked-up, twitchy little broken mess of low self-esteem and damaged synapses.

10. I don't either, it's a hassle.

11. They're saying sales are down because of his politics.

And that is how CEO’s get fired from their own companies. I’m sure the board of directors is getting an earful from the stock holders. Stock holders care much more about their money than politics. Musk only owns 20% of Tesla. I would not be surprised if they cut his throat for this crap.

* Denholm admitted to the FT that she has "tough conversations" with Musk over his posts.
Elon Musk's social media posts have a history of getting him into trouble — and Tesla's chair has admitted they sometimes catch her off guard, too.

13. Easy for me

I have never had any interest in owning one of those.


Maybe they are good cara. I don’t know but even when people were fanbois of his he always gave me the creeps. I have always said I would never own anything he sells.
