I don't expect my personal boycott to effect any change in others' abhorrent behavior. I expect them to remove my participation in something I find abhorrent, and in that regard they've worked swimmingly.
This is it for me. Musk won't miss the $80,000 I spend on a vehicle, but I'm pretty happy not giving a single dime to him. It's not about hurting him, it's about not supporting shit I don't support.
If this refusal gets bigger, great. If it doesn't, I'm still fine because he hasn't gotten a cent from me.
I suspect that's why he's trying to infiltrate the government.
