      Elongated Muskrat is currently sabotaging democracy. This is one of the few ways we can deliver consequences for his actions.

      Tesla is sort of a public-facing proxy for Musk’s wealth, and is becoming a lightning rod.

      It’s not so much about practicality, but desperation and an opportunity to send a message.

      Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.

          At the very least, it has to slightly annoy him. But likely also has a psychological effect. Will it make him suddenly decide not to be an asshole? Probably not. But it may spin him further out of control, to where he starts making even stupider decisions until he finally fucks with the wrong people or the wrong stuff and then really finds out.

          His other companies aren’t valued as highly.

          The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn’t public so we don’t actually know if it makes money or it’s as shitty as all his other companies.

          Without Tesla he’ll have real trouble getting loans… or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he’s not self-made and relies on free money from the government.

          Clearly you have better ideas of what we can do. That’s awesome! Get out there and start organizing people to implement your superior plan! 💪
