Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why though? Is the buffoon going to magically lose money when you sell your car?
This won’t hurt his billionaire ass at all, just the poor schmuck that owns the car
Its one less tesla someone else is buying fron them. Flood the market with preownes teslas
This will hurt regular people a lot not that it so every hurt him.
Hes saying if someone buys a used tesla thats money not spent on a new one
Yes. And I’m saying that’s going to hurt regular people more.
A much better suggestion is to stop buying new Teslas. Let the current owners drive them in peace instead of hurting them
That people even have to try and justify ownership of existing Tesla shows that situation has gotten to a state where potential buyers are less likely to get them.
Stocks are based on future sales projections and a brand going toxic is not a great situation. A car suddenly turning from a regular vehicle to one that is now turning into political affiliation is not great for the average person who "wants to stay out of politics."
I’m not sure Tesla stock follows normal trends. It’s price doesn’t seem to be that influenced on sales performance
Yeah, he already got the money for the car.
Her used Tesla is now competing against Musk for the next Tesla customer. And if too many people sell Teslas, the resale value drops which makes new Teslas even less attractive.
So he got her money, but she may have stopped him from getting someone else's money.
