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.

    Hey, anyone heard from the My Pillow guy lately? It’s almost like there’s been a dozen or more recent examples of why it’s a bad idea to tie your political beliefs to your business.

      TBH he sold a shit ton of pillows for political beliefs. Lots of my Bible thumping family bought them.

        My girlfriend’s mom bought pillows for herself and gifted us towels, much to our disappointment. The towels are unremarkable.

          I would have asked for a gift receipt, returned them, then donated the money to Planned Parenthood or something like that. Then given them the donation receipt for their taxes.

      I mean those were pretty bad. He likely sold more than he would of to the chumps he grifted. I mean if ben and jerry owned my pillow and it was the same quality I would not have bought one.
