I have noticed a big influx of bots saying that boycotting and peaceful protests achieve nothing, which is comical because boycotting have caused the wealthiest person on the planet to lose a massive chunk of his wealth, with more losses piling up every single day.
Just from the Q1 reports, it is clear Tesla is cursed and it is highly unlikely the brand will ever recover.
And while economic downturn is certainly part of it, the boycotts are a significant contributor and it is making Target and Amazon uncomfortable, especially after witnessing what is happening to Tesla.
This is because customers that participate in boycotts are unlikely to ever return.
Target was popular among Latinos and there’s a big outcry among community channels to boycott them. If you are not part of these channels, you are unlikely to see the orchestrated boycotts but I assure you that not only do they exist, but they are highly effective.
Everyone within my personal circle is boycotting Target permanently, that’s 30+ people and their families rejecting Target, and who knows who else they have talked into joining.
It’s all very much personal, and that kind of resolve is not something that corporations can do anything about.
To be fair, that’s valid. - Tesla is definitely suffering from real effects of the boycotts - but I’d argue that the violence being displayed against their owners,is probably enough justification rather than just not buying a Tesla. This isn’t just a boycott, but the cars are being vandalized on a wide scale. Even if I wanted to buy a Tesla right now, I wouldn’t - simply because I wouldn’t want to have to deal with all of the potential violence surrounding them.
Entire nations are rejecting American corporations and turning to alternatives.
Microsoft is literally begging the EU to keep their business, but it’s too late-- the EU is moving to FOSS and other European alternatives, and once that happens, there is zero chance they will ever return to Microsoft products.
Microsoft is just as fucked as Tesla, and so is literally every American corporation that paid tribute to Trump to protect their precious profits.
It’s just a matter of time.
Because if you piss off consumers enough that they decide to move on to an alternative product, they will never come back out of sheer spite.

It’s not the vandalism. It is the boycotting.
