the old fashion way!
Elon Musk is a danger to our country, our democratic institutions, and more broadly the world as he seeks to destabilize the United States through illegal and unconstitutional actions.
The most straightforward and obvious of strategies is to boycott all of Elon Musk's companies. Chief among the companies to avoid are Tesla and Starlink as they have products purchased by the general population.
Social persuasion includes attempts to influence people within your social circle:
There are a broad range of economic pressures available:
Musk has been recognized as a danger to other national governments. For example, he is involved with the AFD party in German: a party known for trivializing the Holocaust and wanting "to eliminate the free democratic basic order". We hope other countries can take actions to prevent him from attacking their governments.
Elon Musk's current actions at the Treasury Department and possibly other government agencies is widely viewed to violate laws including privacy, conflict of interest, and federal laws regarding control of payments. Trump can pardon Elon, but not pardoning him would be an easy solution to getting rid of Elon once Trump has gotten his use from him.
As an aside, since the inauguration, Musk has already shut down several investigations into his companies.
Even with all the money in the world, if no one is willing to accept it, it is worthless. Refuse any and all transactions with Elon Musk.
Musk's Tesla holdings represent a large portion of his wealth. He has taken loans against this stock to fund his other companies and possibly infused Trump's campaign with such money. If Tesla stock drops enough, his stock will be sold to cover these loans and he loses that source of wealth.
SpaceX (and subsidiary Starlink) is a heavily reliant on government contracts and taxpayer funding in general. Over $18 billion in taxpayer funds have been awarded over the past decade. As Musk does who-knows-what with our government finances, he was recently given $38M contract by Trump's administration.
Trump and Elon want us confused and feeling powerless to stop them. We are not confused and we are not powerless! This is a war against our country and we only win if we start picking battles.
