Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

I can appreciate the creativity behind this, but the idea of burning or damaging cars and dealerships is extreme. It's important to remember that such actions could result in serious legal consequences, including FBI involvement (in the us). Additionally, Tesla employs many Americans, so damaging dealerships not only harms property but also risks American jobs, while Elon Musk continues to profit.
I think you need to adjust your prompt a bit.
As a proud son of San Bernardino I can say you are absolutely right, you'll get terrorism charges regardless here in the US go for an IED it's the same charge regardless. Also who gives a fuck if he employs people, GTFO with that "job creator" bullshit. If nobody wanted to work at Tesla because they may get caught in the crossfire then that's fucken good, if ya can't get a rope around that sub-human Afrikaner profligates neck then burning down his company is the next best thing.
Its not extreme enough. Tesla needs to fall.
So you are for American's losing their jobs. When these scumbags burn down a dealership what happens to those people that were working there? They need to find new jobs to feed their families but thats ok right?
"Noooo, dont protest the oil wells in Bolivia, think about all the Americans who will lose their jobs q.q"
This is the most insidious line of reasoning that has prevailed our culture, fighting back against evil corporations is actually bad because the people whose labor they exploit will no longer be employed.
Look, that sucks, but can you not see that just allowing these corporations to continue unchecked is exactly what lead us to this situation in the first place? It's simply another way to sow division.
The obvious answer within the current system would be having robust government systems to assist with finding a new job and ensuring bills are paid in the interim but that's evil socialism.
I'd go even further and say the whole fucking concept is rotten to the core
Isn't the exploited labor of said employees empowering muskrat to be an evil billionaire? Wouldn't them working there be an implicit sign they are cool with what musk is doing? I don't think a single employee of Tesla doesn't know that Elon owns the company. Right?
Yes, because they shouldn't be working for Nazis.
Extreme you say?
