My fellow retards,
A few years ago, the tech elite would fawn over whoever bought a new Tesla.
I my friend, am now part, of the green revolution.

Now all those on the left who believe in climate change have had the ability to purchase one and signal to the world how they are doing their part. Very few understand energy supply chains and what it takes to extract the rare earth metals from an African mine, but we can gloss over those unsavory details.
What’s interesting now is; will the Tesla owners continue to signal? Many are up in arms that Elon has agreed to purchase Twitter. Many are disgusted by his claimed desire to foster free speech and provide the world with a platform where everyone has a voice. Will they signal by selling their Tesla’s, or will they support the bad man and his dangerous, far-right wing desires?
It’s interesting when individuals are provided a choice where both options' result in some level of cognitive dissonance. Tesla owners can choose to sell out on their climate change virtue, to cease support of the wealthiest man in the world and his ambitions to own the platform that is akin to the public square. On the other hand, selling their Tesla doesn’t completely harm Elon since the money has effectively already went into his pocket. The Tesla itself is now just an object of virtue and the owner is stuck.
Phon/ongod believes it is important to vote with your wallet. You should buy local, and if you need to patronize a larger establishment it should be one that is aligned with your values. You shouldn’t put funding and therefore power in the hands of those who hate the way you live your life. This is why phon/ongod buys directly from farmers and stays away from the processed drudge they try to pump society with in the grocery stores.
This is also why phon/ongod holds little fiat. Certainly enough to cover expenses and care for the goats, but any excess goes to supporting projects that phon/ongod believes in. It is important to vote with your wallet. Owning PHONON allows you to do that directly by attaining power to vote on the protocol. Though this governance design is not perfect, it does give a voice to those who have a shared interest in the success of the system.
How do you purchase signal?
Phonon DAO is a mighty-fine place to start.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
