Imagine if they have never started with the queer shite in the first place. No one on either side would have ever noticed one way or the other and no one would’ve been alienated.

Because Elon Musk cares about people. He cares about humanity as evidenced by his quest for a self sustaining colony on Mars. If everything falls apart, there will be no one to buy his cars or any of his products.
That’s just a couple of things. You really can’t figure out why musk would get involved in politics?

but you didn't tie in the fact that conservatives have been boycotting them since the Trans-kids clothing controversy?

I mean, wierd take.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good TDS rant, right?

Is Bud Light also "quit woke, go broke"?

MCU?

Snow White?

Acolyte?

How many successful right wing boycotts are you going to attribute to the left?

No, it makes no sense. Trump could find someone else to do what he did. Hitching your wagon to one horse was a disaster for him in both business and public perception. He should've donated to Trump and stayed out of government.

I doubt life will ever be sustainable on Mars. Besides, we cannot even take care of our planet.

100%. “Targay” was the alt-Walmart. Once the suburb moms figured out the Walmart stigma wasn’t as bad as shopping at the tranny store, they won’t go back.


And Walmart curbside order pick-up made it so they didn't have to go inside with the freaks and riff raff.

Walmart curbside is nice, but they too often switch to lower-quality brands when I know they have the name ones.

I'm always astounded when a poster admits to being a part of the pro-mentally deranged tranny group.

This. I never understood why Musk got involved with politics since most of his customers who bought his cars were on the left. They are the ones buying EVs.

Libs started doing a major boycott protest push in Q1 2025. Their massive miss on earnings happened in Q1 2025.

There are many factors going on here but I think it is fair to say that Target has alienated many shoppers over the last year. I do think prominently walking back to their progressive minded programs was a mistake. They should have just let it wither on the vine and deemphasized it. Hell, they have been doing that with their queer merchandise in stores already. They had a strategy for backing off hot buttons that made more sense for them avoiding alienating the other side of the coin.

Also, y'all really underrate how many of these wine mom suburbanites of a certain millennial/young xer age watch the rupaul shows and lift elements of queer subculture into the mainstream. If the argument is that the "Targét customer" is a suburbanite woman then I think you guys don't really have a good pulse on what the modern suburbanite disposition is anymore...

I just looked at the 5-year stock chart

Huge drop on Pride month 2023, and a general decline since, with small bumps during high spending times (Christmas, back to school, etc.)

Current slope seems to be unremarkable, in relation to the steady decline

Really missed on their core demographics and instead got swept up with conservative influencers who never shop there going to the stores to make a scene about queer shite.


Nope. That ain't it.

Yep. This is very personal to him. He refers to it as "losing his oldest son."

I did not know Musk had a trans child, or am I misunderstanding your post?

He has a son who pretends to be a girl. It is obviously something he grieves about and he regrets listening to doctors who said he should allow his son to transition or he would commit suicide. It is one of the things that seems to have radicalized him.

No. They rooted out fraud, waste and abuse. That’s why you people hate him.

Wait, wait, wait... You're dumbass thought as soon as they went " un woke". We'd just come running back to spend money with them? I know you thought we were stupid, unfortunately for you and team pedo. YOu're not as superior intellectually as you'd been led to believe.
