To be fair, that's valid. - Tesla is definitely suffering from real effects of the boycotts - but I'd argue that the violence being displayed against their owners,is probably enough justification rather than just not buying a Tesla. This isn't just a boycott, but the cars are being vandalized on a wide scale. Even if I wanted to buy a Tesla right now, I wouldn't - simply because I wouldn't want to have to deal with all of the potential violence surrounding them.
It's not the vandalism. It is the boycotting.
Entire nations are rejecting American corporations and turning to alternatives.
Microsoft is literally begging the EU to keep their business, but it's too late-- the EU is moving to FOSS and other European alternatives, and once that happens, there is zero chance they will ever return to Microsoft products.
Microsoft is just as fucked as Tesla, and so is literally every American corporation that paid tribute to Trump to protect their precious profits.
It's just a matter of time.
Because if you piss off consumers enough that they decide to move on to an alternative product, they will never come back out of sheer spite.
