Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.
Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

How many liberals are complaining about Elon Tusk while still holding onto their Tesla stock? Let’s be honest, capitalism is the moral compass of most Americans….

I really wish this “bend the knee” framing would stop. They’re not acquiescing or being forced to comply. They’re putting themselves in a good position to maximize profits. These are billionaires and corporations; applying morality to their motives gives them way too much credit.
ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.
