@alice I quite liked @inthehands 's suggestion for Tesla owners to sell their cars rather than destroy them, thereby flooding the market with used Teslas, crashing Tesla's valuation, and hurting Musk financially.

Hachyderm.ioPaul Cantrell (@inthehands@hachyderm.io)This is all a good laugh — gallows humor, you know — but I’d venture that it’s also concrete action. Elon Musk’s wealth is heavily, heavily tied up in Tesla’s valuation as a company. And Tesla is •wildly• overvalued, just way beyond what the fundamentals would say. A stock like that can crash fast and crash hard under the right circumstances. Making Teslas gross, laughable, socially toxic, cringe-inducing? That has positive, concrete real-world effects. So yes, keep calling them “Swasticars.”

@contrapunctus @alice
I like my idea too, and I see every image of a damaged or destroyed Tesla as being fully aligned with it. Make the things financially and socially toxic! Associate them with imagery of fascism and destruction!

I’m advocating for maintaining or increasing supply; lowering demand is the other side of that coin. Easy to get + nobody wants them = stock crash

@contrapunctus @alice @inthehands This is happening. there is a dealership that I drive past daily to get my kid to school.

I noticed last week the entire front row of used cars were tesla/swasticars. Now the I can see a few in the back rows too.

I've also noticed that I haven't seen any incel caminos around anymore . I used to see a at least one a day (i live in a somewhat tech bro city, not a surprise). I haven't seen a single Cybertruck in at least two weeks.

Probably all broke down.

CC: @alice@lgbtqia.space @inthehands@hachyderm.io These people must have so much money to burn. How is it resistance if the one resisting is going to be on loss? I can understand if they did something to cars owned by Musk but this is funny.
