Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.
Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.
Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

I rent a lot of cars for work and noticed in 2022 that I was getting offered Teslas at DEEP discounts from Hertz. Like, save half my money if I get one of these instead of a Jeep Compass.
Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.
