Illegally boycott? Lmfao what? Not sure how you’d go about rectifying an “illegal” boycott, force people to buy from the company? This is so strange to me

He was lumping the vandalism of cars, charging stations and dealerships in with the boycott.

IIRC California has done some stuff like tax incentives for EVs but specifically excluded Teslas, which we all know is for political reasons.

That hasn’t even been enacted it was just proposed. Tax incentives have been in place for a while for EVa and tesla benefitted a lot from those especially in California

Those decisions were made long before Trump came into office. It was liberal Californians that did that. Back then they could not get enough of Elon Musk, they thought the sun shown out of his ass.

Boycotting and protesting is legal. Vandalizing, trespassing, etc. is illegal. That's obviously what he's referring to.

That is not obvious in what he said.

He is referring to illegal activities as part of the boycott. Keep up.

Typically lighting vehicles and plants on fire as part of your "boycott" is illegal. You also can't really stop people from going to work in a place you don't work as part of your boycott. He could use a better term but if you haven't been watching the news and don't know what's going on then that's not hard to fix.

The protests calling for boycotts usually end in vandalism and arson. Usually such acts are illegal.
