Summary

Elon Musk’s vocal support for Donald Trump and promotion of far-right conspiracy theories has alienated many Tesla owners, who now express embarrassment over their cars.

Sales of anti-Musk stickers, such as “Anti Elon Tesla Club,” have surged as owners distance themselves from Musk’s politics.

Once admired by liberals for his environmental advocacy, Musk’s alignment with Trump and leadership in his administration have sparked backlash.

While Tesla remains the dominant EV maker, analysts warn Musk’s polarizing image may impact sales as competition grows and Trump plans to cut EV tax incentives.

No need. You can't even legally import them.

As your Canadian buddy, do you want a hookup? We'll meet on the border of Alberta and Montana under the moonlight where the moose crows.

moose crows.

A terrifying hybrid species that weigh a thousand pounds, can fly, and remember the faces of those who have wronged them.

And if that doesn't do it, release the geese.

We've still got Vermont. We'll be ok.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

As a former Vermonter with a lot of state pride... you'd be amazed how few gallons Vermont actually produces! Also, if shit really hits the fan, we might end up with Vermont too!

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

If you guys take Vermont, the rest of New England won't be far behind.

I'm not your guy, pal

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not saying no. What can we bring for the trade? I'm not really sure what Canada needs from the US at this point, but we're willing to be flexible.
