This isn’t legal, Elon.
Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

I can't WAIT to hear all the Republicans supporting peace with Russia (by giving up Ukraine) to twist themselves into knots supporting war in Gaza and Yemen. Nothing matters, wheeeeee!

Detaining and deporting a Green Card holder, husband of a pregnant American citizen, without due process is the scariest thing Donald has done.
I don't care what you think about protests or Israel and Palestine, this is an un-American attack on the First and Fifth Amendments.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

Stock market is down. Inflation is up. Unemployment is up. All competent people in the government are being fired. Planes are crashing. The US is abdicating its role as world leader. Russia and Europe are starting a nuclear arms race.

DOGE is inflating its savings claims. DOGE counts fully paid contracts as “savings.”
Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service says it has saved $55 billion by cutting jobs, canceling contracts, and renegotiating leases. But a closer look suggests that number is misleading.
