Hey, Luigi! I have your next target.

How long until President Musk decides to unilaterally delete the NHTSA?

Please understand this post is my personal opinion and is not financial advice. I don't have any investing experience so this could be wrong.

Today I was thinking about Tesla. Tesla's stock has for a long time had some kind of weird cult status among retail investors and the stock has been a lot higher than other car companies for reasons I don't understand.

It seems Musk has alienated everyone with Tesla's cars. People on the left are not going to want a Tesla because it funds Musk's far right extreme agenda. People on the right are not going to be all of a sudden in favor of electric cars and I know this from talking to Trump supporters in real life.

As long as Musk is running TSLA I don't see how Tesla will be sustainable if no one buys their cars anymore. I predict that as people get more frustrated with Musk the stock will start to go down.

In addition another risk to TSLA is starting to become known for poor quality and high prices. Basically you'll be stuck with an expensive car that most people won't be willing to repair for you.

Theoretically speaking if there was to be a large scale selling of TSLA and boycott of TSLA it would make Elon worth a lot less meaning he won't be able to influence as many elections.

Perhaps now would be a good time to sell the stock and urge your friends and maybe even hedge fund managers to do the same thing.

Elon Musk's extreme agenda is a threat to the world. He helped elect someone who's going to take away our rights and try to become a dictator and despite his wealth doubling after the election his greed and thirst for power isn't and never will be satisfied. He wants to do the same in the UK. Very likely he will try to consolidate and gain power and wealth globally.

I've been brain storming ideas of what we can do to deal with him and here is what I came up with.

1. Do what you can to get as many people off Twitter/X as possible. Since he has control over Twitter he manipulates the algorithm to boost himself and his interests. It's great if you can tell anyone you know to stop using Twitter but what would have a bigger impact is if large accounts and institutions stopped using Twitter. Try leaving a comment on their page about why using Twitter is bad. This will also have a benefit that other people will see you comment. You can also send a DM to their account.

2. Try to get your country to ban Twitter/X. There's a petition to get X banned in the EU. This could be important for the survival of your country. Musk could show you propaganda that's bad for your country so banning X would be a good idea.

3. Contact advertisers on Twitter and demand they stop advertising. Send screenshots of their ads next to neo-Nazi and extreme content to the people who paid for the ads. They will not be happy seeing their ads next to that kind of content.

4. Mass simultaneous strike or resignations at his companies especially Twitter. I think this one might be the most powerful one. Imagine if most employees all of a sudden stopped working or quit. Maybe a lot of employees could quit and start a rival company. The sad thing about Elon's companies is there are many smart, talented and hardworking people who don't get the credit for all they put into working for Elon. Also I'd highly recommend this article about turnover contagion.

5. Investigate and sue for any illegal activity. Analyze everything he and his companies do under a microscope and if he did something illegal make sure he faces justice for it. Hold him accountable in all countries, not just the US.

6. Boycott of his products. Make sure to not only boycott his product but do everything you can so other people also boycott. The less money Elon has, the less power he has.

I would love to hear your thoughts on how we can stop Elon Musk. If you have any ideas on how these ideas could be implemented or have ideas of your own please do share!

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

• Video set to the timestamp where they talk about his "gray area."

The reports that Elon Musk spent a quarter-billion dollars electing Trump make sense.
Imagine spending 250 million which results in your net worth increasing by 104,000 million.

Labour is considering capping political donations by individuals and private companies amid reports Elon Musk will hand a $100m donation to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

The Tesla tycoon is said to be plotting the £79m donation, which would be by far the largest in British electoral history, via the British arm of his social media firm X.

According to The Sunday Times, leading businessmen and Conservative Party officials believe Musk could hand over the cash as a “f*** you Starmer payment” in his ongoing feud with the prime minister.

It would give Mr Farage’s insurgent Reform a significant financial advantage over Labour and the Conservatives and be enough to fund a near-endless barrage of attack ads against the government.

But the government is considering recommendations in an upcoming report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think tank that would cap individual and corporate political donations at £100,000 a year.

The Guardian reported that officials have asked for more details on the proposals, though work is at an early stage and any changes would unlikely be made until late in the parliament.

...

The potential donation cap comes as Mr Musk and Mr Farage grow increasingly close, with the Reform leader describing the billionaire Trump ally as “my new friend” last week.
