So, some voters are miffed about what Elon Musk is doing through DOGE. He is being labeled as Nazi, a fascist, and a host of other unprintable slurs. Recently, nationwide protests have been organized literally across the country, some drawing hundreds of protesters. Protests were planned in Canada and Europe as well during the day being called "a global day of action."A left-wing advocacy group, "The Action Network" claimed "Tesla Takedown' is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. We are simply exercising our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly. "Indivisible", another left-wing group said "Rally attenders must be peaceful and nonviolent."
In the US the protests planned for Saturday were promoted by actors, filmmakers, various members of Congress, activists and academics who led rallies last week to support the planned protests. They were described as 'grassroots' protests to thwart Trump and Musk's agenda and to tank Tesla's stock. The protests were billed as nonviolent and included people line dancing outside Tesla dealerships and holding anti-swastika and anti-Musk and 'don't buy swastikacar' signs.
Tesla locations everywhere have encountered violence and vandalism recently. Tesla owners have been hit with countless occurrences of vandalism to their cars. Tesla dealerships have been vandalized and many vehicles torched and fire-bombed.
Yet the protests are purportedly peaceful, non-violent, grassroots protests. Truthfully, none of the three adjectives apply. Open the pages of any major news source to see photos of rows of unsold Teslas burning and exploding on dealership lots. Of miscreants keying and spray-painting swastikas on privately-owned cars. As has been the case in past protests and movements, these are not grassroots campaigns. They often are funded, planned and coordinated by national, political organizations like the Indivisible Project, Move-On.org, and professional protest firms. Many of the protesters seen at the events are being paid to do so. Those shouting through bullhorns were holding the bullhorn with one hand and a script in the other. The professional protest industry in the US was working overtime Saturday. This kind of organizing/protesting has become known as 'astro-turfing'. According to Asra Nomani in an article in the FairFax Times, "critics say these operations mislead the public, distort the media narrative, and erode trust in genuine democratic movements by masking partisan objectives behind a veneer of local outrage." So now we can add 'fake protests' to 'fake news'. At one of the protests, a protester was seen parking near a van with a sign "Poster Lending Library." These groups use digital platforms, pre-scripted chants, pre-printed signs, and prepared toolkits to manufacture the appearance of grassroots activism.They're not even trying to be discrete.
Jasmine Crockett, who you have no doubt heard of recently, is working with the Soros-backed paid protest group "Indivisible' to organize protests at Tesla stores across the country. She was quoted as saying, "Let's take down Elon Musk for my birthday." Tesla protesters protesting at a dealership in Texas immediately stopped what they were doing and left at precisely at 12pm. Colin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics noted in a post on X, "This was odd..." Leaving at a precise time is indicative of someone who is 'on the clock', when the pay stops, the work stops.
A particular point of irony I'd like to point out, is a number of promoters, advocates, sponsors, activists and members of Congress who speak freely against Elon Musk, Tesla and DOGE recently have been and continue to purchase Tesla stock. You'd be surprised how many democratic members of Congress own Tesla stock. Gil Cisneros (D-NY) called Trump and Musk 'atrocious' and that DOGE was 'causing destruction'. Days after making these claims, he bought thousands of dollars of Tesla stock. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) in a public rant said "The risk to Americans privacy and financial security from Musk's unchecked access are not only unacceptable, but outright dangerous. At about the same time, Gottheimer disclosed he purchased $45,000 in Tesla stock. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), who said "DOGE's action is incredibly concerning" this month bought over $100,000 of Tesla stock. During the Biden administration the Democratic controlled Congress was passing laws putting the country on the path to phasing out combustion engines. Now, they're actually 'combusting' them. Liberal Democrats are consistently hypocritical if anything...
