Long Tesla.
Short Elon.
Love the car. Hate the man? You don't have to boycott the product you love to vote with your wallet. Buy it, then put some of your money behind the institutions that keep private power in check.
BOUGHT THE CAR. NOT THE POLITICS.Sticker unlocks after you donate →Good car. Complicated impact.
Tell us what you paid. We estimate a simple reweight donation from the wealth your purchase helps create for Tesla's founder.
I backed public institutions. Your sticker pack is unlocked.
Donate first. Then make it visible.
Printed on transparent transfer vinyl. Sticker pack: 1 weatherproof 5 cm × 5 cm car sticker + 1 laptop sticker. The donation goes straight to the institution. The sticker purchase funds Reweight.
Because private wealth becomes public influence.
Musk has repeatedly used wealth and platform control to intervene in media, government and party politics. Reweight doesn't pretend a donation cancels that influence. It puts money behind institutions that should stay independent of it.
A public square, privately owned.
Musk bought Twitter for about $44bn and remade it as X, putting a major communications platform under one owner's control.

“Vote with your wallet” usually stops at the boycott: don’t buy the product if the company or CEO’s politics clash with yours. Reweight adds a second lever. Buy the product you prefer, then put a voluntary civic tax behind the institutions and political economy you want.
Skip Tesla, Nestlé, or whoever else because the people behind the product don’t share your preferences.
Keep the thing you actually want. Reweight the purchase by supporting press freedom, open infrastructure, digital rights, and accountable democracy.
Four institutions worth keeping strong.
One is featured each week. You can always override the recommendation.
The contradiction is the product.
“Exactly my problem: I still want the Model Y. I just don't want the purchase to feel like an endorsement.”
“I don’t need my Tesla to be a political statement. The sticker says exactly that.”
“Much more compelling than pretending ethical consumption means never buying from anyone objectionable.”
The fine print, without the fine print.
How the hedge works, where the money goes, and what Reweight does and doesn't do.
How is the reweight calculated?
We estimate the slice of economic value from your purchase that is attributable to Musk's ownership of Tesla. The deliberately simple proxy is:
pre-VAT purchase value × Tesla operating margin × Musk beneficial ownership proxy.
This is a heuristic, not forensic accounting. It does not mean Musk personally receives that amount in cash, and it does not claim that a euro of donation literally cancels a euro of political influence.
We use public Tesla figures and keep the assumptions visible so the number can be challenged and updated. Sources: Tesla FY2025 results and April 2026 Schedule 13G.
Does Reweight take the donation?
No. When you click the hedge button, you donate directly on the featured institution's own donation page. Reweight never receives, pools, splits, or takes a percentage of that contribution.
The €20 sticker is a separate purchase. Sticker sales fund Reweight; the charitable contribution does not.
Do you verify the donation?
Not in V0. We deliberately use an honor system. To settle your position, you have to select proof of donation—a receipt, confirmation email, or payment screenshot—but Reweight does not inspect the recipient, amount, date, or authenticity.
The proof step adds a little intentional friction: the sticker is meant for people who actually completed the reweight, without turning Reweight into an identity or compliance system.
What happens to my proof of donation?
Reweight never reads it. Your browser only checks that you selected a PDF or image before enabling settlement.
- The file is not uploaded to Reweight.
- Its contents are not parsed or inspected.
- It is not stored or attached to an account.
- Refresh the page and the selection disappears.
Why one cause each week?
Because asking someone to make four separate donations is a terrible checkout flow. Reweight instead features one of the four pillars each week: press freedom, open internet, digital rights, or democratic accountability.
The rotation keeps the default broad over time while preserving a one-payment experience. Don't like this week's choice? Override it and support any of the other three.
What does the sticker QR prove?
It is optimistic proof, not independent verification. The physical sticker is only made available after the owner completes the Reweight flow: donate, select a receipt locally, then purchase the sticker.
The QR explains that process to whoever scans it. Reweight does not inspect the receipt or independently confirm the donation with the recipient institution.
Why not just “vote with your wallet” and boycott?
Sometimes boycott is exactly the right tool. But “vote with your wallet” often makes consumption unnecessarily binary: either buy the product you prefer or stay politically pure.
Reweight separates those decisions. You can buy the Tesla, the Nestlé product, or anything else you genuinely prefer, then make a voluntary reweight and direct it toward institutions that support the political economy you want.
Does this really “offset” Elon Musk?
Not literally. A donation cannot reverse a Tesla purchase or cancel a specific political intervention. “Hedge” is the framing: if your purchase creates economic exposure to a powerful private actor, put an equal amount behind institutions that remain independent of that power.
The goal is not moral purity. It's to make private consumption and public institutional support coexist.
Why does Reweight use my location?
Only to choose the local VAT assumption used in the calculator. The purchase price you enter is VAT-inclusive; removing VAT gives us a cleaner estimate of Tesla's underlying revenue from the sale.
V0 uses an IP-to-country lookup to set that assumption automatically. Reweight does not require an account, VIN, name, or address to calculate the hedge.
