      Even pointless ones that don’t result in fewer of the thing existing? Selling it just means passing off the note to the next person.

        It’s never about making them not exist. It’s about destroying the value of the car, so fewer new ones are sold. If the used market is full of like-new versions for significantly lower prices, the number the company can sell will drop dramatically.

        Musk’s wealth is largely in stocks. If we can make the value of his companies drop them we directly hurt his wealth. The cars don’t matter. The value of the company matters.
