> [@Smapti](#): > > Swastikar owner says he’s lost $70,000 worth of business because of his vehicle. Dude says his Swastikar is the best truck he’s ever owned which makes me doubt he’s ever owned a truck before. Or at the very least makes me doubt he’s ever owned a truck he used for work purposes which is an odd thing to say about a dude who owns a roofing company. I will say that nobody should harass or threaten someone for driving a Swastikar. That crosses the line. ---

Driving a Tesla indicates that you either agree with Elon or, at the very least, don’t care that you’re financially enriching him. It should be as publicly unacceptable to drive one as it is to literally paint a swastika on the hood. ---

It depends on what he’s doing. Around here, the guys who own the company or go out and get sales and the crews doing the actual work are separate. The ones hauling the shingles and tools usually have a trailer hitched to a working truck. The guys overseeing the work may have a truck but it wouldn’t usually have to haul that much. I don’t have much sympathy for him. He doesn’t have to drive one for his business. He’s aligned, whether he admits it or not, with the side that says people can discriminate against businesses for any bigoted reason. Discriminating against Tesla owners falls way fucking low on the my priority list of stupid reasons to shun a person or business. ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > It depends on what he’s doing. Around here, the guys who own the company or go out and get sales and the crews doing the actual work are separate. Yeah. A lot of people will buy a fancy truck or SUV for their business but don’t use it for the actual work of whatever it is they do. i.e. They don’t haul equipment with it, carry tools, etc., etc. It’s just a nice way to get a vehicle and claim it as a tax write off. ---

Did anyone know he was a Nazi prior to hooking up with Trump (and I mean that in every meaning of the phrase)? Heck, I’m willing to bet that there’s a whole helova lot of people who don’t associate him with Tesla any more and only think of Xitter and Doge when thinking of him. ---

Someone (Sheryl Crow?) sold their Tesla and gave the proceeds to NPR. I’m not sure all Tesla owners could make the same grand gesture. ---
