As Musk continues to tear through the federal government, and Tesla’s stock price continues to plummet, the organizers of the Tesla Takedown movement have pledged to continue to protest, with the movement now reaching other parts of the world as well.

wired.comThe Proud Boys and Militias Come to Tesla’s DefenseAfter weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests, the Proud Boys and other far-right extremist groups are showing up to back Elon Musk's beleaguered car company.

"continues to plummet" seems misleading Tesla stock price significantly decreased in February and early March, but it's up 17% in the past 3 weeks (I fully support the protests, fwiw, regardless of whether or not they tank the stock)

There is. At that moment when the Board of Directors forces Elmo to resign & entirely disassociate from the company. In my fantasy he's also forced to sell all his stock to a group led by Bill Gates (at a substantial discount due to anticipated declines in value). At that point I would reinvest.

Far right groups are the entire GOP, and their influence stretches far beyond that. I imagine most will shrug off these protests as being leftist agitators

What a horrible looking machine. I would never buy a Tesla especially as Musk own the company. He is clearly bonkers, destructive, uncaring, deluded and only gets admiration, women and work because he is rich, not because he has any charm. He lacks any redeeming qualities! He is awful.

Cybertruck is junk. We were promised a stainless steel exoskeleton and were given a plastic endoskeleton with stainless steel appliques glued on with library paste. The trucks literally fly apart going down the road because of the inferior glue and plastic junk.

Agreed. I note that Elon fails to deliver. He been gonna get Full Self Driving this coming year for the last 7 or 8 years. He never delivers. Meanwhile GM's EV sales were up 86% year on year. GM makes better far better trucks, and sells equivalent cars for 65% of Tesla's prices .

That is an American with his grubby arm around a man impersonating the most famous mass murderer in history; adolf hitler. hitler, who tens of thousands of Americans and our allies gave their lives defeating. fox state tv is the best SyOp in the history of man! rupert murdoch is evil incarnate.

Those things are ugly as the people who drive them. A fridge which failed "fingerprint-proof" test. Lines on those doors not smooth. Bad weld. Would it hold up in an accident? We'll never find that out, 'cause F'Elon fired everyone who'd say they're dangerous vehices, shouldn't be on the road.

So if glued fenders were not enough maybe Jan 6 terrorists are. Funny things that most Trumps base cannot afford that trash bin on wheels. Elon and all Trump supporters are weak people. Immoral uneducated stupid weak sadists.

Protesters can just go home at that point. Who is going to buy an EV with the Proud Boys around? "Hey Honey, you wanna go buy a Tesla today? I heard the violent, racist, racist, gun toting group the Proud Boys are going to be there." "Just wait, I will get my purse."

The hypocrisy is real. As Trump targets students for deportation for going to Pro-Palestinian protests and tells Universities to be more forceful against antisemitism - his and Musk's supporters are posting Nazi hate language and in the case here - one going so far as to dress as Hitler. Disgusting

The alliance between this regime and the far right groups seems ever more strange. They are unproductive, what can they gain? There has to be cracks, what then ?

So people protesting fascism are met with armed fascist thugs to intimidate them into stopping? Who could have foreseen... bsky.app/profile/wire...

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler. More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

the Hitler dude also doxxed a local teenage girl raped by his buddy - real POS like Musk, he's another overcoddled wannabe artist (failed writer in this case) who lost his marbles when nobody acclaimed him or laughed at his jokes he set up his own local newspaper because nobody listened to him lol

And yet, we had to hear from the NYT, podcasters, george fuckin clooney, Bernie bros, and younger voters that Biden was no different! WTF! It is hard not to hold a grudge about the concerted efforts to bring down Biden bc of a bad debate and some bullshit campaign fundraising event.

“Honey, I went to the Tesla dealership today and nearly bought a Cybertruck.” “Oh, why didn’t you?” “I was being observed by a militia group, and a kid’s birthday party Hitler impersonator was cheering me on to make the purchase.” “I hear good things about Polestars.”
