Trump called Musk, the controversial leader of Tesla and a new government efficiency initiative, a "truly great American."

It is not illegal for consumers to boycott companies. The Supreme Court in 1982 ruled the First Amendment protects Americans’ rights to protest private businesses.

        I think that even if I wanted to buy anything from Tesla, I would turn around if I saw a bunch of cops outside of it.

        Yeah, but they’re really going to have a tough time getting me to put in any financial information if they do arrest my ass and bring me to the Tesla dealership

      Establish a federal Bitcoin reserve with tax money.

      Have Elon only accept Bitcoin for payments from the government.

      Give Tesla another federal contract for billions.

      Buy more Bitcoin to replenish it.

          Do you pay taxes? Do the price of your goods rise because corporations pay taxes?

          When the government does something, it was a collective pool of resources that paid for it. When the government buys anything your productivity contributed to the purchase. Everyone’s did.

          Are taxes optional (for the working class)?

          This is pretty basic stuff fellas.

        Isn’t step one or two to implement arbitrary tariffs to fund the reserve?
