Let's put the billionaire donations into perspective. $150, 000, 000.00 -- is 1/10 of 1% of his net worth. -- Its like me donating $1.40. -- We simply MUST get big money out of politics.

I’M SO FURIOUS…! Elon Musk very worrisome & dangerous talking to Putin & interfering for Trump. He has NO BUSINESS in either of these things.
I’m in Lisbon Portugal with a Tesla Y almost bought. I will now by a EV Toyota Corolla

People just need to stop buying Teslas. I never will.

As the great Michael Scott says: "NO. GOD Return Elon Musk back to South Africa

Boycott everything Musk. A better alternative to the Model 3, for example, is the Ioniq 6 (same range as Model 3 extended at same price, but with faster charging, comfier ride, more passenger room, and built in ability to power your home, camping equipment, power tools, etc). BlueSky beats Twitter, etc.

Public speaking- like human interaction- is not one of Musk's greatest assets.

[sanlin]

[beauxisme]

This man should not have government contracts.

[muttshaman]

I don't understand how musk can call himself an environmentalist and back Trump who doesn't care diddly squat about the environment

Apart from Roe, Citizens United was the absolute worst decision the Supreme Court has ever made.
