If the BS from 2008 wasn't enough reason not to buy a GM vehicle...

Yeah, I'm buying from the Japs. They make the best vehicles for the money anyway. Less so for the money these days...

GM went off the rails when they started making that Vega car.

Musk is a direct competitor for GM, but they are going to act like this is some SJW move.

You should go speak to a sales guy, test drive, and tell him you are still shopping. After a day or 2 email him the article saying what GM is doing and tell him you'd decided to go a different route if GM thinks so badly if you. Get a GMs email in there too. Only way this kind of thing gets recorded/known.

Then email him a pic of you in whatever you bought.

Stood there weakly
Sweatin' in the board room
Felt like a tool
Felt just like a fool
The depths I fall to
I'd never been so outta luck
Like a cuck
Like a cuck

I don't get that. From a SJW perspective, the people who buy GM and Chevy trucks are baws who probably don't go on Twitter anyway....but why alienate your base by saying you are doing so because of politics?

And at new negotiated contracts. People leaving and having to come back after built up followers and internal system setups already in place, will just be hard to walk away from long term.

But people don't forget their initial reaction so GM is definitely reading the room wrong. Can't believe they are doing this because an African American bought Twitter. That needs to be pushed so much to the point the race baiters are begging people to call them "negros" again.

I'm glad they are risking their financials over this. It's rather stupid. Leftists don't have the money to purchase GM products, outside of the uber rich, which aren't buying GM anyway. So they are intentionally alienating their base over woke ideals. Please, continue to expose yourselves.

GM is controlled by the federal government ever since that bailout. They’re going to do whatever the current admin wants them to do just in case they need more taxpayer money to save their arse.
