Headline is wrong. Former CEO.

Make Japan Fascist Again

Good Lord I've seen the headlines but that photo paints one hell of a picture.

I know its a lot of shocked not shocked but Toyota has been a consistent bull shit company on environmental impact. It actually did shock me to learn this

Toyota has been a consistent shit company

Toyota already had been donating to the congresspeople in 2021 who were planning that coup by refusing to certify. So yep, if you haven't been already, please do.

To us: A former Toyota CEO kisses the ring.

To Trump: Mr. Domo Arigato bent the knee, this will look good for me.

To MAGA: We don't want your jap crap, go back to China.

Dudes at a NASCAR event. The sport that had to specifically root out racists which was somehow a bad thing for conservatives.

I’d say we should boycott Toyota, but their 220mi range piece of shit EV with a 9” display for 45k$ pretty much does them in without trying.

Japan loves facism

Jesus Christ may as well have done a photo op with Trump's micro peen in his mouth wtf. I actually liked Toyota up until this point.

I still haven't gotten over hearing that recording of people who were about to die because they couldn't use the brakes in their Toyota.

Seems I was right to not forget.

Honest question: Assume that I do in fact need a car. I've been driving Toyota since college on account of it hitting pretty much the sweet spot of affordability and reliability. Is there another car company that hits around that same realm that is less morally compromised?

Is he driving a Ford?

What? Didn't his sincere smile win you over? No? Me neither.

What exactly does this "investing" mean here? Do they essentially donate money to Trump? Do they buy American factories/companies? Do they build new factories? Do they just announce and investment and then nothing happens for a long time?

In other words, who makes the profit here? Did they rip off the Trump without him noticing or did they get ripped off and can't do anything about it? Is "investing" another way of saying "ASiAnS BuY MuRIcaN ComPnAIEs!!!1!" that is more popular with the maga crowd?

All the reports I've seen about this just regurgitate the government speech and give no useful details what's really going on here.

Damn. I'll never buy Toyota. I hope Mazda won't do that.

When you ride bikes you can minimize the amount of money you give to shitty people who already have too much money!

Lol kowtowing

Toyota has been donating to GOP for years. Nothing new.

That old man went full pandering for the bastard.

Toyota is seriously missing out on electric vehicles. Hybrids are overly complicated.

Idiot posing in front of a Ford.

Well fuck! I have three old Toyotas in the driveway I would rather not have spray painted.

Way ahead of you.

Did he also get head?

Boycott!

CANNOT FIX STUPID!!! :/

ohh no, not Toyota :_(

Use bicycles, reduce carbon emissions

I'm just gonna keep on in my Hyundai.

I think Hyundai is on the list too, but for stupid not fascism.

Fuck fuck fuck. I was looking for a reliable single cab truck with 4wd and diff locks to convert into a camper. A 90s J70 seemed like a perfect option, but even though I wouldn't be giving toyota any money this feels wrong now... I wonder what other options even are there; L200 is too small for a camper, anything land rover is so unreliable I won't dare go overlanding, and good luck finding parts for older american trucks over here (besides, Ford&GM bowed to fascists all the same)

I'm boycotting the car industry and big oil by not having a car in the first place.

Yes I know. You couldn't do it and you need a car. Your car is so very practical. You think I should also have a car because they're so useful. I know my food is hauled by trucks burning oil and that I contribute unwillingly anyway. But I arranged my life around the fact that I don't need one, and I'm glad to avoid contributing to this horrible industry.

Fuck cars.

So I've read the headline a bunch but this is the first picture I've seen. I really just assumed he started being openly racist. I don't think this makes me feel better but I'm relieved a little.

They produce a lot of trucks... strategic

Looks like we're boycotting Tesla and Toyota cars

It's all of them.
