Happy to see so many Tesla Takedown events planned today and through the week/weekend!! To find one near you click here.
I decided I’ll attend my local protest on Saturday because I think this is the BEST use of our energy right now to fight back against Elon, DOGE, and Trump. These protests are like kryptonite to Elon, going at the main source of his wealth — Tesla stock and Tesla sales.
In fact Elon is feeling so desperate right now that he ordered his orange-painted lackey to hold a press conference at the White House yesterday with several Teslas on display. It was like a sad pathetic used car commercial, where Trump promised to pity-buy a Tesla to help Elon’s struggling company.
While Trump has trash-talked Teslas and electric vehicles/boats in the past, this time he instead complimented the beauty of the rolling abomination knows as the Cybertruck:
With Musk beside him, Trump declared the vehicles “beautiful” and in particular praised the company’s unusually designed Cybertruck.
“As soon as I saw it, I said, ‘That is the coolest design,’” Trump said.
Can’t make this stuff up. In addition, Trump went on the attack against protesters, seeming to conflate peaceful protesters, boycotts, and violence against Teslas and Tesla showrooms:
Asked in front of the White House whether such protesters should be labelled "domestic terrorists", the president said "I will do that", a position later confirmed by a White House spokesperson.
"You do it to Tesla and you do it to any company, we're going to catch you and you're going to go through hell," Trump said.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump blamed Tesla's share price falls on "radical left lunatics", who he said were trying to "illegally and collusively boycott" the firm.
So they’re threatening protesters, and it doesn’t seem to be working, there are MANY pages of events planned on the Tesla Takedown site. Find yours today!

For what it’s worth, I always protest peacefully, without harming any one or any thing. Sometimes “good trouble” is called for — as in doing something that may be illegal, but nonviolent, and hopefully protected by the First Amendment anyway. But in this case I don’t think any “good trouble” is needed, just showing up and making Elon look bad is already working, and haunting his ketamine-fueled dreams more and more each day!
