There were some more harsh words at #Vancouver’s rally at #Tesla yesterday

Just a reminder:
Elon Musk didn’t create Tesla, he bought it.
Elon Musk didn’t create SpaceX, he bought it.
Elon Musk didn’t create Twitter, he bought it.
Elon Musk didn’t create the Presidency, he bought it.
Rolling Stone: Outgoing Broadband Chief Issues Stark Warning Against Elon Musk
“Stranding all or part of rural America with worse internet so that we can make the world’s richest man even richer is yet another in a long line of betrayals by Washington,” wrote Evan Feinman
Canadian Tesla protest signs are so... polite. No swastikas, no mention of Nazis, no F words.
Sorry, #Tesla owners, but this makes me incredibly happy.

“Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.””

Road and Track: Some Cybertruck Owners Say Their Trucks Are Shedding Body Panels; One Thinks He Knows Why
A Tesla owner who wraps the vehicles for a living has come up with a hypothesis as to why his truck lost a piece of its bodywork at speed.

Jalopnik:
"This may still come as a surprise to a lot of you, but the Tesla Cybertruck sucks. Not only is it bad at being a truck, it's also a bad vehicle in general. I mean, you can't seriously tell me you'd rather buy a truck that can be bricked by a simple car wash instead of a Rivian R1T? Really? I don't remember any Rivian owners complaining about body panels flying off their trucks while driving, but that's absolutely a thing with Cybertrucks. In fact, body panels flying off has become enough of an issue that Tesla has paused Cybertruck deliveries for now, Electrek reports."
Tesla Autopilot drives into "Wile E Coyote" fake road wall.
"While most companies developing self-driving technologies have been using a mix of sensors (cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic), Tesla insists on only using cameras."

Oh Lord, we should have known if we didn't. The Wankpanzer is basically an Apartheid era enforcement truck, except with sheet metal falling off.
#Musk and his fans aren't even proper fascists, they're parodies of the fascists they *want* to be.
The intention should be taken completely seriously, and we should also laugh in their faces.
Onward, #TeslaTakedown!

#Musk "has alienated his customers. We can see that in the plummeting value of a second-hand #Tesla, with the average price of a used Model Y dropping from $30,000 to $22,000 over the last couple of years as people get rid of their vehicles." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/03/16/elon-musks-silence-is-deafening-as-trump-wrecks-his-busines/
if you deny that being a billionaire in the most dominating country in the world isnt the definition of "living in good times" i guess you are any less able to conclude who the weak man is, and where things are heading.
