They are corporate, sterile, strategically monolithic, and they are the Sterile Corporate Monolith Stellantis—a tax-avoiding conglomerate, treading water and gasping for air in a struggle to stay afloat. Now, this sterile corporation has added a new skill to its limited repertoire: the art of begging. Although the monolithic entity has elevated begging to new levels, incorporating Karen-esque threats.

The monolith’s corporate corpse, Maria Grazia Davino, the UK boss of the Sterile Corporate Monolith Stellantis, recently spoke at the annual Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) summit. There, akin to a Karen, she threatened to cease UK production citing ‘hostile trading conditions.’

These conditions stem from the UK government’s electrification initiatives. Davino seeks more subsidies, reinforcing the notion that governments provide socialism for the rich and rugged capitalism for the poor.

However, speaking to reporters at the SMMT event, Davino contradicted herself by stating that Stellantis UK is well-positioned to endure the UK’s transition to Zero Emissions Vehicles and the 2030/2035 ban on new ICE-powered cars.”
