Because of ethical restraints it is extremely rare for a senior government official, let alone a sitting president, to endorse a consumer product so explicitly.
Yeah… Those were good times.
Do they not fucking remember the whole Goya thing last time. He literally shot a commercial from the presidents desk.
BRAWNDO
THE THIRST MUTILATOR
it’s got electrolytes
it’s what plants crave
Like we needed another reason not to buy tesla
How long till a President ends a speech with “smash that like and subscribe for 10% off RAID: Shadow Legends”?
He is already kind of doing it, just replace Raid Shadow Legends with Russia.
This is an insult to RAID shadow legends. They’re too high quality for this conman to hock them

In parallel universes where he wasn’t born of a rich family, Trump is a car salesman. This is our universe trying to find balance.
A used car salesman
The kind that doesn’t know shit about any car on the lot and just tries to pressure you into buying the most expensive car because it’s the most expensive, but was secretly totaled on a flood.
ON a flood?
At a buy-here-pay-here dealer that specializes in salvage title “luxury” cars.
Tesla is a close second at this point.
A car used salesman
He hasn’t got the charisma, the financial sense, or trustworthiness to become a used car salesman.
Yet here we are.
But he does have that lack of morality to at least try
gross
Gross indeed
Gross indubitably
Gross absolutely

Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence
There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist
This is the easiest boycott of my life. I love it
It’s Goya beans all over again
And I’ve been boycotting Goya ever since.
Same. Turns out they’re not much different from store brands anyhow
First thing I thought of too.
Elon with his child shield again
Protecting them kneecaps
“The thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself, when they say they don’t care about their lives, you have to take out their families.”
It really pains us, we’ll have to kill your wives and children too It’s purely business, we just cannot have them avengin’ you

I’m not surprised. Didn’t Donald Trump used the Oval Office once to promote some… ketchup or sauce or something, and was paid for? I mean it denigrades the station of the office, but does he really care?
He literally sold the Resolute Desk to Goya for ad space.
This is after he did a Mcdonalds/Dominos ad when he had them cater the NCAA basketball champions’ dinner at the White House.
It’s what he does.
Yes I think this one was the one I saw. It was… Sigh. Disappointing?
Goya beans
Don’t be surprised, each social media influencer has to make a living by promoting shitty products and scams for the affiliate money.

Seeing musk, trump and a Tesla in a single shot just makes that toxic association so much stronger. I don’t think this is going to play out like they hope.
Plus, you know the boycott is working, talk about desperate.
Snake Oil Feedback Loop achievement unlocked.
Tradeable?! What in the world…
I mean, they take turns sucking each other off, so…
Oh gosh… there was no trading when I left Hearthstone!

I see Elon brought his body armor.
He still doesn’t wear a helmet, so…
Rita repulsa zaps Orange Turidno. Laughs. Turdo goes Biggly.
The Dipshit starts flailing arms around, slapping multiple children as armor.
Power Rangers theme starts playing.

Well if I’m gonna schedule a test drive i may as well test the hell out of it, no?

I like the cut of your jib!
Are there laws in the US about such conflicts of interest or was is basically tradition until this point not to do shit like this?
Laws are as good as the ability and will to enforce them.
Good point… I guess I’m still curious if there could be a way he gets taken to court for this, but probably now.

Maybe there is a language barrier, but I didn’t understand if a legal framework is implied by “ethical restraints”. Can one be taken to court for violating an ethical restraint?
this whole gambit was actually a 4d chess move by elon to brainwash righties into buying EVs therefore solving climate change and bringing about global communism. I never should have doubted you, sir
Next he’ll do the trick where he slams his dick into the car door
