I’m constantly being shadow-banned and censored on Elon’s platform while real Nazis, foreign manipulation bots and spammers thrive there without any form of moderation. It’s not an accident or oversight. It’s exactly what he wants.

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero.

If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated

Why?

Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole

Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

Trump today called a boycott of Tesla “illegal” — which is amusing.

Over years, I have a few times called Musk a liar (across the country by 2016, then 2017) and thief (money for upgrades), on national TV even. Maybe that’s why my Twitter account has been blocked for a few months despite violating no rules. I can’t get it fixed.

Musk did a Nazi salute and then weeks later endorsed a Nazi apologist far right party in the German election. He teamed up with Trump to antagonize Ukraine. So yeah, it’s no wonder Tesla sales are declining in Europe while EV sales in general are up.

New data out this week shows a sharp decline in Tesla sales in Europe. The company is facing multiple headwinds — including consumer pushback to CEO Elon Musk's political pivot to the right.

Musk just amplified a leader of Germany’s far-right AfD, who called the country’s Holocaust memorial a “monument of shame,” demanded a “180-degree turn” in how Germany remembers Nazi crimes & was convicted for using a Nazi slogan

Let’s hope the people of 🇩🇪will choose wisely in tomorrow’s election
