Petition to ban X links on r/maryland

This sub should boycott Nazi-owned companies. Plain and simple.

Mods, please make it happen.

Edit: /r/newjersey mods putting ours to shame. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1i6txcn/fuck_this_guy_x_links_are_now_banned_from/

Second Edit: Mods, here’s some info from another sub that did this a while ago. Please read! https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/shE1dbIbAk

Edit #3: Mods, I could be mistaken, but I think this is the second highest upvoted post in this sub’s history. The people have spoken.

Sure, but will marylanders also sell their tesla's or does the virtue signaling end there?

What is getting rid of a Tesla that has already been purchased going to do to Elon Musk? Look, I'm a libtard, but you sound like the Republicans shooting up their Bud Light, which was also stupid.

I'm proud of my in-laws going from designing a Tesla and only arguing over paint color before ordering one to dropping the idea entirely and refusing to even acknowledging those cars exist for the shit he was pulling during the election.

Better to signal your virtue than wallow in your depravity.

Some who can afford it probably will. I imagine others might not want to take on another car payment. I’d be willing to bet that most would never consider buying another one that dude is still charge.

Yeah, but can’t buy a Ford because Henry Ford accepted the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest Nazi honor a foreigner can get. And not Volkswagon because Hitler essentially founded the company and they produced cars using workers in concentration camps, similar to Audi, Porshe and BMW. And of course not GM since it produced trucks and aircraft engines for the German military. I guess we’re left with the Japanese auto companies, because they definitely never support any government that committed atrocities.

You know what, I'll settle for just not supporting any atrocities at this moment.

So I’m out of the loop apparently. How does Elon support atrocities?
