There really should be a bigger campaign for everyone to sell their Tesla shares. As you said, take away his money and he goes away.

Sell them to whom? If I had a Tesla and sold it to you, there are still the same number of people driving one.
I’m sympathetic to Tesla owners who've had their car for a while. If Akio Toyoda turned out to be a bastard, I wouldn't buy another new Toyota, but I’d continue to drive our current one until the wheels fall off. Same with Teslas. It's unreasonable to ask someone to get rid of their working, paid-for family transport. We can't just scrap all of them.
But. Anyone driving an Incel Camino just bought the thing, and I will continue pointing at them and laughing.
Only the initial purchase matters for buying the cars from the point of Musk and Tesla's value. I think the revenue for repairing the cars during their lifetime does not bring that much money back to the Tesla.
So ideally, we want to reduce the purchases of new Teslas and bring the stock down.

Even nicce's parent comment only concerned buying new Teslas.
I mean people should do that anyway, because when that stock takes a tumble it's going to shed value incredibly fast.
It's been overvalued before, and now it's cruising on "how good will the government corruption money be". Needless to say, you can look at how things worked out in Russia for who gets paid, and how much that winds up being worth in the end.
