If you want to stop Musk, Thiel, and their buddies from running the country:

Check your voter registration; the Republicans have been canceling a lot of them, including 12% of voter registrations in Texas
Volunteer; there is nothing in the world quite like talking with people
Donate — it takes money to run a campaign

Elon Musk should not be allowed to do business in the US whatsoever.
- He should be part of the mass deportations they're always going on about.

Can we just skip ahead to the bit where he's holed up in a penthouse in Vegas, pissing in jars and saving them?
- Sounds like a typical work-night binge tweeting session except I thought Tesla was selling those jars as their own branded Tequila
Grifters gonna grift
I'm hoping this latest initiative goes as well as almost everything else Musk has tried in the last few years. About 95% of his plans and actions have been a total disaster.
If you own a Tesla, you helped fund this and should be ashamed.
- Plenty of people bought them before Musk went full fascist.
  
  That's me. I bought it before he went straight crazy. I followed Tesla from a long time ago, but I'm on the side of when my car dies that I'll go with a different EV that has NCS charging so super charging network is available.
  
  And they’ve had plenty of time to see him for who he is now.
- I loath the guy and will never buy another Tesla, but what am I supposed to do? Sell it and spend thousands of dollars on a new car? For all I know the execs of other car company will also turn out to be fascists.
  
  Save there doesn’t appear to be anything else you can do, you use your Tesla knowing what the company’s owner is until it no longer works.
