Since musk sides with traitors, he should not be surprised that patriots do not merely want to buy his cars, but want him stripped of his citizenship and deported back to South Africa. Actions have consequences.

I think a better explanation is that Musk is demonstrating that he's an emotional infant who makes terrible, poorly-thought-out, very expensive decisions, and nobody trusts a company run by someone like that.

I mean, if it was just the traitor thing, Fox News would have gone under years ago...

The market for Teslas is very different than the market for Fox News.

You would’ve thought even last year, but I’m betting his recent behavior will change the minds of some.

Yeah, that's why I said "if it was just the traitor thing..."

Although the Tesla market increasingly gives me South Park vibes...

I'm no watcher of FN, but Musk has strongly motivated me to look for other EVs. No way am I supporting this MF.

Well said. Elon always kinda bugged me but he’s so flipping self righteous in his stupidity it’s amazing

And smuggled contraband emeralds with his dad Errol, who was apparently stealing them from the mine he had a minor stake in for a handful of years.

Can he stand trial at the Hague for his daddy's conflict gems empire while we're at it? Since I presume daddy-o isn't around anymore

His dad just had a kid with his own step daughter or something.

He immigrated from Canada, not South Africa.

Where was he born…

That doesn’t matter. He has Canadian citizenship, he had Canadian citizenship when he immigrated to the US, why would he ever get deported to South Africa? At the very least he’d get to pick.

He’s not going to be deported. He was born in South Africa.

I know he’s not getting deported. But in a hypothetical world where he’s getting deported where he was born is irrelevant. That’s not how deportations work.

It’s also just objectively correct to say that Musk immigrated to the US from Canada - at the time he moved to the US, Musk was a Canadian citizen residing full time in Canada.

Rather than dismiss deportation you went with this weird Canada dodge. 🙄
