Riddle me this: what even is an “illegal boycott”? A boycott is, by definition, a grassroots consumer movement.So what, you’re gonna arrest the people who started calling for it in the first place (that will simply amp up the boycott)? You’re going to threaten and arrest people who buy alternative products (that clearly is not workable, and will simply amp up the boycott)? You’re gonna punish people who aren’t buying your product (super dumb, same reason)? Are you going to gasp incentivize people to buy them (it’s dumb, but I see this as the most likely possibility: orangeboi declares a 100% tax subsidy for buying teslas)?
For Twitter/X Elon is suing the advertisers who pulled out. No idea how it will work with Tesla.
It will not work. That's just Trumps and Elon's wet dream.
With this Supreme Court they will rule in the Elongated Muskrat’s favor and make not paying oligarchs money against the law
You forget that his advertisers are also rich people that do everything to get their will
Soon not buying recurringly from big corporations will be seen as illegal.
America is an oligarchy. The oligarchs own the big businesses. A boycott against a business is literally anti-american activity...
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel has already been ruled as illegal (typically on the grounds of antisemitism) for nearly a decade now.
And sadly, the answer to what the government will do does indeed seem to be threatening and arresting those in support of the boycott.
Doesn't the USA have laws against boycotting Israel specifically?
Oh, like this Anti-BDS laws
Musk will just get his bitch boy Trump to buy all his dead stock from taxpayer money.
