    1 & 2: boycott Tesla and X. I think most people that would want to do this have already done so. It’s not like he suddenly became a horrible person.

    3 & 4: prosecute him. Good luck.

    5: break NASA contracts with SpaceX. NASA can’t afford to.

    6: don’t elect Trump. Yeah… OK, we’re working on that?

    What a stupid article. Basically three suggestions stretched into six that amounts to “people should do something.”

    As though saying “he should be arrested” and “he should have less money” is going to suddenly stop his political influence. Reich should be a Lemmy user for all the impotent outrage and unrealizable “ways to rein him in” he expresses.

      Boycotting Tesla isn’t even a good solution. If you want a car, Tesla, with all its problems, is still the best option for certain uses.

      But yeah, stop using X. The government could even ban it like Brazil did. It wouldn’t stop X but it would be a huge pain.

    The Michigan secretary of state has accused the Musk-supported America Pac of tricking people into sharing personal data. Although the Pac’s website promises to help users register to vote, it allegedly asks users in battleground states to give their names and phone numbers without directing them to a voter registration site – and then uses that information to send them anti-Harris and pro-Trump ads.

    Can somebody put this motherfucker in jail for fraud?

    Supreme Court can’t say he has immunity from the law.

    Just to be clear, luring him into a basement and then bricking him into a small chamber in the wall is not a valid option, right? I just want to be sure we’re all on the same page.

      You can’t do that because he’s a billionaire.

      For billionaires you have to charge them at least a few hundred thousand to be sunk to the bottom of the ocean in a small but very exclusive carbon fiber chamber.

    Billionaires going insane is the modern day equivalent of mad kings. Billionaires are unchecked power and should not exist.
