That's how you boycott something
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
That second sentence isn't needed. Get Nazis and Putin assets out of Europe.
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues...
It's because your issues are everyone's issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven't heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin...
Oh no. Anyways
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.
I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.
I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.
That’s what I’ve heard.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
Or removing its windshield wiper (its the giant stick on one side of the windshield)

Ooooh, lithium fires
Antifa colors.
I don't support contributions to environmental damage caused by fires. I love the idea that Tesla cars are destroyed. It's a conundrum.
That said, I like this more than I dislike it.
People can hold contradictory beliefs at the same time
Only 12? C'mon France we know you can do much better. Try again.
Call that a "breaker's dozen".
Hey let's be real.
Ain't no protest like a French protest.
They'll do better. Patience.
