I was actually reading this wikipedia page earlier after posting and it seemed like these Anti-BDS laws only apply to government offices and government contractors
Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.
A broad law mandating that the public at large can't not buy certain products, or can't ask others to do the same would be unenforceable I would think -- though I'm not going to doubt the Roberts Court ability to find some way to make something that absurd law if asked by their king...
I don't even understand how a boycott would be illegal. It's illegal to not buy products from a certain company? How can you tell if a person is not buying because they're boycotting or because they never had the intention of buying in the first place?
However, the billionaire's increasing government influence has aligned with a global decline in Tesla sales, leading some to believe his political moves are damaging the company's brand.
For me, the Tesla brand is permanently damaged. I will never buy a Tesla. I don't care if they're good EVs, I don't care if they're the best EVs, I will never buy one.
Nowadays we're all under Leon's watchful eye. He'll call out billionaires and straight-up fabricate shit about them. He knows no one is gonna come at him in any meaningful way. If anyone should manage to get on his radar (camera, whatever lol... Had to throw in a stupid Tesla joke) they will be thrust into the public eye where he's comfortable and in control of the narrative enough to intimidate most into submission. He is big brother now, and it couldn't be stupider
So, what Iām interested in here is: what the fuck are you gonna do about it, orangeboi? Bitch and moan? Whatās the punishment for boycotting the brand? Spell it out for me. I want you, or eel-on-musk, to explain what youāre going to do to directly counter this āillegal boycottā - putting aside the fact that that combination of words makes about as much sense as āaerodynamic bedsheetā.
Trump just has the strategy to give media 3 topics which make good headlines every day. Then he can do the "important" stuff unbothered. Soo, this ist the kind of stuff we hear about. But, what about the rest?
There's journalists right now getting murdered for standing up to tyranny and this spineless ass-kissing ball-gargling excuse of a tabloid writer is excusing Nazis.
Journalists employers are all friends. This Makes it nearly impossible to for journalists in large orgs to stand up to oligarchs. Although it does make for great pageantry for non-billionaires.
I'll smoke crumbs from my 40 year old carpets before I pay taxes on weed after all those decades of gleeful persecution and prosecution. The things Fantino used to say about pot users in the newspaper, and now he's a canabis magnate. Fuck that, it's black market for life.
Based on his past behavior, I think we can all agree that of all the things this dumbass doesn't know, what's legal or illegal is definitely top of that list.
Related, BDS is illegal in the US meaning that you are legally obligated to purchase things from Israel. It's unenforceable on an individual level, but it's used to come after people who promote or organize the boycott. If Trump and the Republicans wanted to make it illegal to boycott Tesla, they would have legal precedent because of that absolute lunacy.
