Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Because this is one of the only ways to attack a billionaire.

But you hurt the regular people way more.

If they are insured, no.

Insurance premiums will go up on teslas.

Then people will buy less tesla.

Then Musk will get margin called.

Premiums going up will hurt regular people more than Musk. Hurting your fellow countrymen is such a lefty thing to do...

Specifically his ego, Musk is such a weakling that he sees ANY attack on Tesla as an attack on himself. That may be the point basically using the cars as proxy but the fact he legit gets so upset about it means it's working. Also as I need to remention Musk is such a fucking weak little bitch that he gets sad when folks burn something his company produces.
