There's also the implied endorsement, though.



Nothing a bumper sticker can't fix (seriously)


Interesting. You're thinking the bumper sticker would have an overtly counter-Musk/Trump message, or simply a progressive message?

I wonder whether the former would eventually get your car vandalized (or road-raged), and whether the latter would seem half-hearted.



Small business owners on Etsy give me hope for humanity through:

- Funding civilians in war-torn areas like legit Kyiv Ukrainian addresses

- 3D-printed vintage car parts

- Handmade confrontational ceramics spicing up mundane objects like coffee mugs

- Ultra-niche items corporate retailers refuse to carry due to the ruthless tyranny of SKU profit maximization

- And, of course, anti-establishment bumper stickers suitable for the petite et moyenne bourgeoisie


is there? is living in the US an implied endorsement of President Trump?


you paid $100k to live in the US?


You didn't buy your own personal Trump (at least I hope not).

Musk has made himself synonymous with the Tesla brand. Buying Tesla means supporting Musk, whether you want it to or not.


so everyone should sell their car (at a huge loss) and buy a new one, because the CEO of the company you bought from 5 years ago went crazy?


It depends how much you want to compromise yourself.

These days being associated with Musk in any way is going to make you look bad. Musk goes out of his way to make sure you look bad.
