Trump

    I’ve written two or three times about Shakira. One day, I’ll write more. For today, all you need to know is this: She owns a Tesla. She approves of this message – front and back. And, its distribution to the windshields of all Tesla owners. I’m carrying around a stack. Should you want a printable version, you can find one here. Dear Tesla Owner, I genuinely appreciate your amazing vehicle. Tesla’s engineering brilliance, performance, and environmental benefits are undeniable. I’ve admired these cars for years and came incredibly close to buying one myself. I admired Elon Musk until just a few years ago. But. The Tesla brand represents a significant portion of Elon Musk’s wealth and power. Each Tesla on the road contributes to the brand’s value, and that value directly fuels our nation’s descent into fascism. Musk has positioned himself as a key ally in (or maybe even the true author of) Trump’s authoritarian project. Whether you intend it or not, this vehicle represents a continuing investment in that dangerous political direction. And beyond politics, there’s a practical reality you can’t ignore: Teslas’ resale value has begun to decline. As Musk continues his erratic behavior and political extremism, this downward trend will only accelerate. The polarization strategy employed by Musk and Trump is destroying the broad appeal that once made Tesla so valuable. Even if you’re politically aligned with them, the financial math is undeniable – this is the best time to sell before the damage to the brand worsens. Their political strategy guarantees it, regardless of which side you’re on. If resale value matters to you, sell now. I’m not a vandal. No one should destroy property. But as Musk and Trump promote disregard for democratic norms and the law, in ways eerily reminiscent of Hitler’s consolidation of power, Tesla vehicles increasingly function as political symbols. You can see the writing on the wall. I sure can. If I owned a Tesla, I’d be genuinely worried about the damage it might attract. Surely, you are beginning to have these fears. I worry about my Honda being vandalized on the streets of New York! It’s been keyed more than once by what I imagine are just drunk teens! I can’t imagine the anxiety I’d feel if I were leaving a Tesla on the street night after night! I hope you and your family, and your car, are safe in these difficult times – safer than I feel, than those I love feel. And, I urge you: sell your Tesla now. It’s only going to get worse, whether Trump succeeds or not. Sincerely, A genuinely friendly neighbor The post Swasticar appeared first on My Dissolute Life.
