Elon Musk is going to try to buy another election for Trump. Anyone still using 'X' or driving a Tesla is part of the problem. If Musk has that much money to spend buying politicians, he isn't paying nearly enough in taxes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/politics/elon-musk-midterms-republicans.html

@danwentzel@urbanists.social the current PE of Tesla is 330:1. That is speculation on the stock is $330 to every $1 of actual revenue. The people buying the cars are a problem but completely trivial compared to the uncritical media, government contracts, lack of regulation and financial speculation that drives Musk's wealth.

@danwentzel@urbanists.social Don't take your non Tesla EV to a Tesla Supercharger either.

@danwentzel@urbanists.social When Musk put tons of money into the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court elections; it backfired on him. The people of WI did not want outsider big money in their elections and voted democrats into office out of spite! Let's hope this strategy backfires on him again. #elections #politics #Wisconsin

@danwentzel@urbanists.social Shameless corruption… if it will not have legal consequences I hope it will trigger a buyers strike.
