It may go deeper than that. If I owned a Tesla, driving it around would be, in my mind, free advertising for Tesla and, by extension, Elon.
I have zero interest in throwing him or his company even the most ephemeral of bones, so I would personally find a sticker to be weak protest.
ETA: if you bought a Tesla car before his rapid mental decline into alt-right fascism, that’s one thing. But cybertrucks and new Teslas are after, and owning one is saying at best, “Yeah, he’s a technofacist, but I don’t really care if my money props up his ketamine-fueled destruction of societies.”
This ignores the fact that selling the car does not remove it from the universe. It’d be better to have a liberal with anti Elon stickers driving it than a nazi, don’t you think?
No, I don’t. It’s free advertising for a fascist. Who is driving it doesn’t matter; people should look at every Tesla with derision and treat doing business with his company as taboo. People driving them should feel uncomfortable about their proximity to a fascist.
I would love to crush every Tesla and have the company go bankrupt, but try recommending that to someone in a list of actions. That’s why it’s not included.
Right so an anti Elon sticker should suffice. So now the smart owner is out $1, not thousands.

Hah. Actually you’ve still lost thousands because no one wants those shitboxes.
