The numbers don’t lie, but they sure do scream. Tesla just reported a 71% plunge in profits and a 34% stock nosedive—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg Elon's ego steered this ship into.

They’re the ones slamming the door shut and canceling their pre-orders—and it’s working.

Elon Musk used to be the poster child for innovation.

Tesla’s been uninvited from international auto shows. People are openly mocking the brand, vandalizing Teslas, and replacing them with Rivians and hybrids like it’s an ethical exodus. And Musk? He’s out here promising robot servants and Martian dream homes while the foundation of his empire rots in real time.

This isn’t just consumer backlash. This is a people-powered reckoning. The boycott is no longer a whisper—it’s a bullhorn. Liberals, progressives, Gen Z activists, and plain old disgusted citizens are reminding corporate America what happens when you spit in the face of your own customer base.
