MODERATORS
Why stop there? If you know someone who does any of those things and you're not actively standing in front of their Tesla, blocking their satellite, or preventing them from going to work, you're supporting this.
If you survive hypothermia or high altitude exposure due to medical knowledge obtained in Holocaust experiments, you're a Nazi supporter.
If you're a diabetic who uses insulin, you support animal cruelty/experimentation.
If you don't spend every thought and action on how to stop the genocide in Palestine, you support it. Also, the ongoing genocides in Sudan and Myanmar.
Where exactly is this arbitrary metric of culpability for someone else's actions?
or work for any of his companies
Executives, maybe. The average Tesla assembly line worker? People need jobs. There are a lot of total shit companies out there and they the ones people have little choice but to work for.
I assume anyone still driving a Tesla would also be the kind of person to put up a Trump flag. Y'all have had plenty of time to get rid of that trash.
Don't get me started on cybertrucks
Huh? I'm not talking about Tesla drivers. I'm talking about the workers building the cars. You know, the ones who probably don't even own an EV, they're just trying to earn an hourly wage to feed their kids.
Unfortunately, the Tesla assembly line is also a wildly racist environment, most likely encouraged by management.
Sure, but there are also plenty of people of color who work on their lines. Should they have to suffer even more by losing the job they probably really need and put up with the racism because of that?
I don't have a great answer other than removing Musk and the rest of the management he put in place, and the only way to impact that as a consumer is to commit to never buying their products.
Absolutely. And for people to not accept a job there either unless it’s really necessary. If they can’t get good talent they can’t compete and keep funding his fascism. I straight up told a Tesla recruiter ‘I will never work for that fucking Nazi’ but I had just accepted another job (after 5 months searching with no unemployment).
the X platform has been one of the main drivers of misinformation.
Nazi bar connected to Nazi shit, news at 10.
Posts that questioned Ms. Rothenberg’s loyalty to the United States because of her Jewish heritage had more than four million views on X.
Oh good. I haven't been made to feel like a foreigner in my own country in at least a couple of days.
