The memo still hasn’t made it to everyone about the systemic function of the #TeslaTakedown protests. I still keep getting well-meaning quesitons like the one below from @tymwol.
The purpose is •not• just to register symbolic discontent. The purpose is •not• just to take individual action that directly harms Musk.
The purpose is to tank demand for Tesla’s product, and thus tank their stock price. This is Musk’s biggest vulnerability, Smaug’s exposed belly.
Hachyderm.ioTimothy Wolodzko (@tymwol@hachyderm.io)@inthehands yeah, but I don’t think that it hurts Elon if you buy a car from him and destroy it. You paid for it, so it’s yours. It’s like burning your books to protest against Amazon. There are ways to protest that simply are more efficient and make more sense.
@misterscience@mastodon.worldAlso consider promoting this @pluralistic strategy in the context of Tesla: attack the recurring rentier revenue!
