I’m generally not a big fan of online petitions, because they often feel about as useful as screaming into the void. But I think this one might be a little different. The idea is that the organizations behind the petition are going to start making the case directly to Seattle city council members to stop giving city funds to Musk’s businesses. And if they can go into those discussions armed with thousands of petition signatures, that’s going to make their case that much stronger.
So if you’re sick of Musk and his bullshit, please consider giving the petition a look. And if you’re wanting to get more involved with this effort than just signing a petition, feel free to DM me and I’ll get you plugged into the group.

So how much king county is going to musk businesses, and what for?
I don’t know the answer to that, but I think part of the effort here is aimed at figuring that out.
I do know there’s shit like this going on: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/king-county-metro-purchase-teslas
@witten @hildegarde They all parked off airport way flyover, just north of Georgetown I noticed yesterday, just saying.
Hah, nice.
Better: no public money for any billionaire.
Even better: No billionaires. But we’ve got to start small in order to get anywhere. I think the idea is that if we can make an example of Musk, other billionaires will think twice before fucking over the general population.
