So when will it be OK to own a Tesla again? After this administration's term? After this generation dies? Who decides this? Is it zero sum?

My argument isn't that we should be punishing consumers of VW, Audi, and GM. It's that consumers are one of the last people that should be responsible for how their money is used. If you go that route everyone is complicit in something awful. There are better ways to make change than blame the consumer.

Are liberals responsible for DOGE because they own a Tesla? It's nonsense.

These social movements have little room for nuance and decisions of who to target are rarely morally consistent.

After the board finally wakes up and kicks Elon to the curb.

Speaking personally, it could be as soon as Musk leaves the picture, depending on who else takes over.

As for "who decides", I think everyone has to decide for themselves — I won't think worse of anyone who boycotts the Tesla brand for life.

Welcome to humanity.


Indeed everyone should decide for themselves! We shouldn't be inciting vandalism on property owned by people who don't agree with us.
