It is who you pay. You are directly supporting him with the purchase.

Him and every other shareholders.

According to this Musk only own 13%

Barely more than Vanguard + Blackrock.

I do not care about other shareholders. I do care about Musk.

Tesla accounts for 60% of Musk’s wealth which he used to buy the US presidency and he continues to use to promote fascists around the world.

Depressing the value of Tesla stock reducing Musk’s influence.

Believe it or not, twelve figures can probably influence an election regardless of the first digit. Zeroing out tesla and taking him down to a paltry hundred-billion-and-change would still leave him handily able to cut another quarter-billion-dollar check come ‘28.

This is performative.

Musk’s Tesla stock is highly leveraged. Zeroing out Tesla ruins him.
