This 5-yr Tesla stock chart shows that on 05NOV2021, the day word of MAGA Supreme Court plans to look at the Texas Senate Bill 8 Abortion Ban hit The Texas Tribune, Tesla stock went from rising to falling.(link) Tesla Tanking in Trading is now WAY too obvious for anyone to ignore.(link) What happened?
My theory is a boycott. The Republican party platform has since 1976 called for a constitutional amendment to again strip women of individual rights upon conception. Before the Civil War, forced sex and childbirth were routine for black women held under Southern slavery. (link) For five decades I have voted against Republican candidates and refused to buy products their abettors sell. Boycotting is a way to keep economic power from being spent on coercive political power. Nor is this anything new in political economy.(link) The Boston Tea Party was a boycott. Nations have prohibition laws because China boycotted the US back in 1905 for that purpose (not as futile retaliation for the renewed Geary Act). WW1 was caused in part by revolutionary China successfully closing its ports to opium dumping in 1911-12, causing a glut in the Balkans.
Pushback against Republican Party prohibitionism and Jew-baiting automakers also included boycotts. In June 1929, Henry Ford discussed prohibition with President Hoover, then stepped in front of the White House to announce: “Prohibition is here to stay. Absolute enforcement must come. Nobody wants to fly with a drunken aviator.” Ford claimed the dry law made high wages possible in mid-Depression 1931, after other countries withdrew money and sold off U.S. stocks to avoid taxes on drug profits. Less than a month later, on 02MAY1931 the NYT reported that “Milwaukee county officials refuse to buy Fords because of Henry Ford’s dry stand.” So why would women–and libertarian-minded men who believe women have inalienable individual rights–hesitate to boycott an automaker allied with Republican efforts to have women enslaved on conception?
People again boycotted Fords after Hitler praised Henry in Mein Kampf and Nazis pinned a medal on his chest for his collaboration.(link) Musk is photographed licking the blacking off of Trump’s shoes before and after the MAGA court overturned the Libertarian plank that was ROE.(link) Lately, as Argentina’s anarco-fascist imitation “libertarian” (link) and Brazil’s ousted christiano-fascist are photographed pumping Elon Musk’s hand, why the surprise that women of all colors are boycotting re-enslavement by wielding The Almighty Dollar? (link)
Think about it. Tesla stockholders are clearly experiencing a dawning of comprehension! Investers suddenly understand the sunk investment fallacy, are dropping those Tesla stock anvils to the bottom of the Lake of Losses and swimming ashore.(link)
Libertarian Spoiler votes work a lot like boycotts where results matter. This is why Republicans and German descendants of National Socialist billionaires lavishly funded a hostile takeover of the Libertarian Party by the Alabama-based Mises Institute with their infiltrated girl-bullier caucus. Here’s a link to a typical Mises article postulating that it’s much better for Ku-klux States to strip women of individual rights than for federal courts to recognize pregnant women as individuals and enforce their Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.(link)
The MISES article bragging about policies imported from Hitler’s Austria appeared a year almost to the day after the MAGA-packed Court began reassessing whether women can be forced at gunpoint into involuntary reproductive labor.(link) Many of those fortunes were amassed precisely by stripping Jews–male and female alike–of individual rights, forcing them to labor and retiring them at death camps. Elon might have been the American version of Quandt, Krupp or von Finck.(link) Too bad he and his stockholders hitched their wagon to the Trump, Bolsonaro, Milei and von Mises (link) versions of resurgent pronatalist Comstockism.(link)

Good Reading, lest we forget: The Nazi Billionaires, by David De Jong. “In 1946, Günther Quandt—patriarch of Germany’s most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW—was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration.” Günther’s wife left him for Goebbels long before both poisoned their kids in Hitler’s bunker. (link)
The Arms of Krupp, by William Manchester (link) It is shocking to realize that civilian slaves, mostly Jewish, were press-ganged into German National Socialist armaments plants, mines and industry. But terror-imposed slavery obviously was made to work for Christian National Socialism, as this book shows in detail.
Hell’s Cartel, the making of Hitler’s War machine (link) is another informative look at the spreading influence of Theodore Roosevelt’s race suicide theories for criminalizing recalcitrant women.(link)
Get the big picture in Prohibition and The Crash on Amazon Kindle in two languages. After this you’ll be able to explain to economists exactly how fanaticism and loss of freedom wrecked the U.S. economy.
