Speaker 1: Colson Media.
Speaker 2: This is it could happen here. I'm Garrison Davis. Tesla
Speaker 2: derangement syndrome is sweeping the nation the last week. On
Speaker 2: March eleventh, President Donald Trump starred in a thirty five
Speaker 2: minute Tesla commercial broadcast live from the White House driveway
Speaker 2: to news stations across the country. This presidential ad campaign
Speaker 2: started with Trump announcing that he himself would buy a
Speaker 2: Tesla in support of his unique advisor, Elon Musk, whose
Speaker 2: business ventures have taken a sour turn as of late.
Speaker 2: To assist Trump with his purchase, the South Lawn was
Speaker 2: temporarily turned into a Tesla showroom with five different models
Speaker 2: parked in a row to choose which shiny new car
Speaker 2: to buy. A significant portion of this Tesla sales event
Speaker 2: was spent by Trump praising Elon Musk's work at DOGE
Speaker 2: as well as Elon's business venture, and complaining about people
Speaker 2: treating Elon Musk unfairly, saying that he quote shouldn't be
Speaker 2: penalized because he's a patriot.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm just selling people this man is a
Speaker 3: great patriot, and you.
Speaker 2: Should cherish him.
Speaker 4: You should cherish him.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I have a little statement we have to take care
Speaker 5: of our high IQ people because we don't have too
Speaker 5: many of them.
Speaker 2: We gotta take care of him. As for the cars,
Speaker 2: Trump mentioned that he actually already bought a cyber truck
Speaker 2: for his granddaughter Kai, which Trump called the coolest design,
Speaker 2: but this time he chose a red Tesla model s.
Speaker 2: Upon climbing in the car, that secret service does not
Speaker 2: allow him to operate, Trump remarked, Wow, everything's computer. At
Speaker 2: the end of the live streamed Tesla commercial, Trump said
Speaker 2: that he would pay with a check, though for the
Speaker 2: duration of the event, Trump served as both buyer and salesman.
Speaker 2: He read off from a sheet of notes on pricing
Speaker 2: and features for various Tesla models, like how quote Tesla's
Speaker 2: can be purchased for as low as two ninety nine
Speaker 2: a month.
Speaker 3: So I have a lot of information that turned into pritic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to make a good deal here, you know,
Speaker 2: I do notice this they have won, which is thirty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, which is pretty low.
Speaker 4: What is that all about?
Speaker 2: This whole charad was an explicit attempt to rescue Tesla's
Speaker 2: plummeting stock price and help foster a new demographic of
Speaker 2: electric car buyers. Anti will conservatives looking to show support
Speaker 2: of Elon Musk, Doge, and the new Trump administration through
Speaker 2: consumer purchases. Trumb himself said that he hoped doing ads
Speaker 2: for Tesla on the White House driveway would help Tesla's
Speaker 2: stock value and encouraged others to buy Elon's cars. The
Speaker 2: next day, Tesla shares did rise four percent, but are
Speaker 2: now trending back down amid a global wave of protests
Speaker 2: against Tesla for Musks involved mint with Doge and the
Speaker 2: Trump administration, as well as Elon's Nazi curious behavior. Trump
Speaker 2: has tried to face this wave of hate against his
Speaker 2: new best friend, head On Truthing on his platform of
Speaker 2: choice Truth Social last week quote Elon Musk is putting
Speaker 2: it on the line in order to help our nation,
Speaker 2: and he is doing a fantastic job. But the radical
Speaker 2: left lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally
Speaker 2: and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the world's greatest automakers,
Speaker 2: and Elon's quote unquote baby, in order to attack and
Speaker 2: do harm to Elon and everything he stands for. They
Speaker 2: tried to do it to me at the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four presidential ballot box. But how did that work out? Unquote.
Speaker 2: There's a lot to impact there, from Trump calling Tesla
Speaker 2: Elon's baby, despite Elon carrying around his baby at the
Speaker 2: White House near twenty four to seven, to bizarrely declaring
Speaker 2: protest boycotts as illegal. Not only has Trump called the
Speaker 2: Tesla boycott illegal, but during the White House car commercial,
Speaker 2: he announced that vandalism of Tesla's will be labeled as
Speaker 2: domestic terrorism, promising that perpetrators will quote unquote go through hell.
Speaker 2: White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said, quote ongoing and heinous
Speaker 2: acts of violence against Tesla by radical leftist activists are
Speaker 2: nothing short of domestic terror unquote. There certainly has been
Speaker 2: a surge of violence targeted at Tesla vehicles and dealerships,
Speaker 2: which I will discuss in detail later this episode, but
Speaker 2: for the past months, there's also been a wave of
Speaker 2: nonviolent protests and mass mobilization against Musk and Tesla at
Speaker 2: dealerships all around the country and even overseas, which the
Speaker 2: aforementioned boycott is a part of the quote unquote Tesla
Speaker 2: takedown protests call to quote sell your Tesla's, dump your stock,
Speaker 2: the picket lines. We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop
Speaker 2: Musk unquote. Their website has a map of Tesla dealerships
Speaker 2: around the world and a list of upcoming protests at
Speaker 2: various locations, which can be searched through via zip code.
Speaker 2: There have been reoccurring weekly protests at dealerships every Saturday
Speaker 2: in cities across the country, with demonstrations at more than
Speaker 2: fifty Tesla showrooms attracting crowds of between dozens to a thousand,
Speaker 2: like in Tucson, Arizona. The boycotts and public demonstrations certainly
Speaker 2: aren't helping Tesla's stock price and international reputation, but they
Speaker 2: are not the only display of displeasure directed at Elon
Speaker 2: and Tesla, as others are employing more direct methods to
Speaker 2: damage the company. Beyond peaceful protests, picketing's short lived dealership occupations,
Speaker 2: and waiving anti Elon Musk signs outside Tesla stores, Tesla
Speaker 2: vehicles themselves have become the nation's hottest graffiti mural service.
Speaker 2: Actually around the world, people have been using Tesla's to
Speaker 2: scribble epithets against Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Even some
Speaker 2: eco conscious owners of Tesla vehicles have defaced their own
Speaker 2: cars with stickers that read I bought this before he
Speaker 2: was a Nazi, which, hey, you can also put on
Speaker 2: your old Kanye West records. Speaking of Kanye West, some
Speaker 2: individuals have taken to marking Tesla's with a swastika, which
Speaker 2: at first raised eyebrows and confused some investigators, as typically
Speaker 2: when there's swastika graffiti, it's supposed to be anti Semitic
Speaker 2: in nature, whereas in this case, based on external factors,
Speaker 2: this is most likely a public attempt to link Elon
Speaker 2: Musk and Tesla with Nazism, following Musk's own anti Semitic posts,
Speaker 2: fall Right politics, and the whole salute thing. Stickers and
Speaker 2: flyers have spread from the UK to San Francisco, reading
Speaker 2: don't buy a Swasta car, but it's not all stickers
Speaker 2: and graffiti. We'll talk about the other Tesla attacks after
Speaker 2: this ad break. Okay, we're back. One of the most
Speaker 2: bizarre instances of Tesla vandalism was when forty four wheels
Speaker 2: were stolen off twelve unsold Teslas in a Texas parking
Speaker 2: lot on Valentine's Day. Investigators say they don't currently have
Speaker 2: any leads since the nearby security cameras weren't recording and
Speaker 2: the Tesla cameras were not active. These Teslas were actually
Speaker 2: being stored in an Amazon parking lot six miles away
Speaker 2: from their home dealership. Allegedly, Tesla is contracting with other
Speaker 2: businesses to store their cars. A midwave of vandalism at
Speaker 2: Tesla dealerships. On March eleventh, wheels were damaged on multiple
Speaker 2: vehicles at a Tesla dealership in Dedham, Massachusetts. In Meyers, California,
Speaker 2: Tesla superchargers keep being sabotaged, with epoxy found in the
Speaker 2: charging cable and anti elon musk graffiti with chargers marked
Speaker 2: with swastikas. Seven Tesla charging stations at a shopping center
Speaker 2: were arsened outside of Boston, Massachusetts, on March third, and
Speaker 2: on March seventh, Maltov cocktails were thrown at a Tesla
Speaker 2: charging station in South Carolina, with long live Ukraine on
Speaker 2: the ground in red paint. A twenty four year old
Speaker 2: man was taken into custody on March thirteenth. But it's
Speaker 2: not just wheel thefts and supercharger sabotage. Tesla dealerships have
Speaker 2: been a target for anti musk graffiti, vandalism, and armed attacks.
Speaker 2: Some commentators have been conflating the picketing protests and graffiti
Speaker 2: with actual instances of arson and property destruction. People like
Speaker 2: libs of TikTok labeling simple spray paint as quote unquote
Speaker 2: trans violence or trans terrorism, which is not to say
Speaker 2: some people aren't taking a more destructive approach towards their
Speaker 2: elon musk grievances. Whether that qualifies as terrorism is another
Speaker 2: issue though. On January twentieth, a man wearing black pulling
Speaker 2: a wheelie cart approached a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon,
Speaker 2: and threw a Molotov cocktail at a cyber truck. Surveillance
Speaker 2: footage shows the man pull out ignite and throw three
Speaker 2: more Molotov cocktails from his rolling cart before realizing an
Speaker 2: eyewitness is charging their Tesla nearby. The man in black
Speaker 2: pulls out a suppressor mounted AR style rifle and points
Speaker 2: it at the witness as they drive away, before continuing
Speaker 2: to throw more Molotov cocktails at parked vehicles. A rock
Speaker 2: was used to break the glass of the dealership showroom,
Speaker 2: and another Molotov cocktail was thrown inside the building. A
Speaker 2: criminal complaint claims that this incident caused around five hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in day damage to the dealership, including damaging
Speaker 2: seven Tesla vehicles. A month later, on February nineteenth, the
Speaker 2: same dealership was hit again, this time with gun shots
Speaker 2: breaking through windows and hitting vehicles. In early March, a
Speaker 2: forty one year old man was arrested in connection to
Speaker 2: both incidents, with court documents claiming fingerprints were identified on
Speaker 2: recovered glass bottles used for explosive devices, and the suspects
Speaker 2: car was identified in footage captured by a police car
Speaker 2: parked near the Tesla dealership a bit north of Salem.
Speaker 2: In Tigered, Oregon, there have been two incidents of gunshots
Speaker 2: being fired at a Testa dealership just this month. A
Speaker 2: Tigered police press release reads quote for the second time
Speaker 2: in a week, Tigered police are investigating shots fired at
Speaker 2: a Tesla dealership. Early this morning, March thirteen, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: around four fifteen am, more than a dozen shots were
Speaker 2: fired at the dealership, causing extensive damage to cars and
Speaker 2: showroom windows. Unquote. There's also been a series of incidents
Speaker 2: at a Tesla dealership in northern Colorado. A spree of
Speaker 2: anti musk graffiti and vandalism started in January, with Malotov
Speaker 2: cocktail style and scendiary devices found on the scene. On
Speaker 2: February seventh, police responded to a call about graffiti and
Speaker 2: possible arson at the dealership. A few days later, a
Speaker 2: security guard confronted an individual spray painting the front windows
Speaker 2: of the dealership, and on February twenty fourth, a suspect
Speaker 2: was arrested at the dealership allegedly in possession of bottles
Speaker 2: and gasoline. She was charged. In late February, another person
Speaker 2: was arrested allegedly in connection to a similar, yet unrelated
Speaker 2: incident at the very same dealership in Loveland, Colorado. After
Speaker 2: Malotov cocktail style device was found burning between two Tesla
Speaker 2: vehicles on March seventh, rocks were also used to damage
Speaker 2: both the building and multiple cars. At around eleven pm.
Speaker 2: On Sunday Day, March ninth, four cyber trucks erupted into
Speaker 2: flames at a Tesla parking lot in Seattle, Washington. On Monday,
Speaker 2: March seventeenth, two cyber trucks were set on fire at
Speaker 2: a dealership in Kansas City. Here's how local TV news
Speaker 2: reported the incident.
Speaker 3: Around eleven PM, officers were called to a fire at.
Speaker 2: A car lot car Hire.
Speaker 1: In the parking lot.
Speaker 3: A CACPD officer was close by when he noticed smoke
Speaker 3: coming from a Tesla cybertruck. The officer used his fire
Speaker 3: extinguisher to try to put out the flames, but the
Speaker 3: fire continued to spread. CACFD was called into help.
Speaker 4: Our crews got unseen and the fire was in two
Speaker 4: cyber trucks. It had spread from one to the other.
Speaker 4: We were able to get water on them. Copy of
Speaker 4: amounts for water Get the Fire out book.
Speaker 3: Now federal agencies are getting involved. We saw an ATF
Speaker 3: officer with a bag of evidence. They say this incident
Speaker 3: follow similar reports from across the country of violence at
Speaker 3: Tesla dealerships. I mean you're eventually gangig than. Reaction to
Speaker 3: this incident has been mixed, with some condemning the crime
Speaker 3: and others who see it as a former protest towards
Speaker 3: the automaker.
Speaker 2: And just a few days ago, on March eighteenth, an
Speaker 2: individual addressed in all black fired gunshots and through Maltov cocktails,
Speaker 2: damaging five cars at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: The Las Vegas Review Journal writes that the FBI Joint
Speaker 2: Terrorism task Force is investigating the matter. Quote agents arrived
Speaker 2: at the scene early Tuesday, according to FBI Special Agent
Speaker 2: in Charge Spencer Evans. Evans said that while it was
Speaker 2: too early to call the attack in active terrorism, it
Speaker 2: had quote unquote some of the hallmarks and a potential
Speaker 2: political agenda unquote. Now this particular instant in Las Vegas
Speaker 2: really got to Elon Musk, who spent the rest of
Speaker 2: the day complaining on Twitter that Tesla has quote done
Speaker 2: nothing to deserve these evil attacks unquote. Attacks on Tesla
Speaker 2: have not been contained to the United States. In early
Speaker 2: March twelve, Tesla's parked outside of a dealership in southern
Speaker 2: France were set ablaze, and outside Berlin, unknown persons set
Speaker 2: fire to a high voltage transmission line on a power pylon,
Speaker 2: cutting power to a massive Tesla manufacturing plant in Germany
Speaker 2: for multiple days. This follows a series of direct actions
Speaker 2: and a forest encampment where the Tesla gigafactory seeks to
Speaker 2: expand by leveling two hundred and fifty acres of forest.
Speaker 2: The German forest encampment lasted nine months before being successfully
Speaker 2: raided by police this last November, with police destroying treehouses
Speaker 2: and trashing tents after the whole my heart goes out
Speaker 2: to use salute and subsequent endorsement of AfD. Musk's reputation
Speaker 2: in Germany specifically is suffering steep decline. To quote the
Speaker 2: Washington Post quote, Tesla stock has fallen by more than
Speaker 2: thirty five percent since Trump's inauguration and last year the
Speaker 2: comp but he suffered its first annual sales drop in
Speaker 2: more than a decade. In Germany, Tesla car sales plummeted
Speaker 2: by seventy six percent in February compared with a year earlier,
Speaker 2: according to figures released Wednesday, and some owners have expressed
Speaker 2: buyer's remorse over owning a car some now see as
Speaker 2: a symbol of far right politics, a stark departure from
Speaker 2: the environmental consciousness it was epitomized. And we'll talk more
Speaker 2: about how these protests are affecting Tesla's international reputation after
Speaker 2: this ad break. Okay, we're back.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: After the November election, Tesla stock surged to a never
Speaker 2: before seen high of one point five four trillion dollars,
Speaker 2: but as Musk's direct involvement in the government was ramped up,
Speaker 2: Tesla has fallen to about seven hundred and seventy seven billion.
Speaker 2: The massively inflated value of Tesla stock is directly related
Speaker 2: to the public perception of Elon Musk and Tesla stock
Speaker 2: greatly determines Musk's own net worth, which is down more
Speaker 2: than one hundred and forty billion from this past December peak.
Speaker 2: When Elon's reputation gets damaged, so does Tesla's and vice versa.
Speaker 2: Tesla stock has been declining for nine consecutive weeks. JP
Speaker 2: Morgan analysts recently said that Tesla has lost so much
Speaker 2: value so quick that there really isn't any comparison. Quote.
Speaker 2: We struggle to think of anything analogous in the history
Speaker 2: of the automotive industry in which of brand has lost
Speaker 2: so much value so quickly unquote, and Forbes writes quote.
Speaker 2: Last week, JP Morgan analysts described the recent melting of
Speaker 2: Tesla's perception, especially in pockets of the world in which
Speaker 2: Musk inserted himself into right wing politics, such as Germany.
Speaker 2: About fifty three percent of response to a CNN poll
Speaker 2: published last week said that they hold a negative opinion
Speaker 2: of Musk, compared to roughly thirty five percent with a
Speaker 2: positive view and eleven percent with no take unquote. Overseas,
Speaker 2: Tesla sales in general are way down, even as electric
Speaker 2: vehicle purchasing is going up. New data from the European
Speaker 2: Automotive Manufacturers Association show that Tesla registrations in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland,
Speaker 2: and the UK have dropped by forty five percent when
Speaker 2: you compare January twenty twenty four to January twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: And this decline from Tesla comes as overall electric vehicle
Speaker 2: sales have increased thirty seven percent in the same January
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five head to head comparison. China's
Speaker 2: own evs are surpassing Tesla in global production and sales
Speaker 2: in China, which is a huge EV market, and Chinese
Speaker 2: manufacturer BYD is on track to over take Tesla in
Speaker 2: global sales this year. And so if you consider the
Speaker 2: Tesla protests as a sort of public display of unhappiness
Speaker 2: with Tesla and Elon Musk, combined with all these other
Speaker 2: economic factors impacting the automaker, if these trends continue, Musk
Speaker 2: and Tesla could be in real trouble. After the Las
Speaker 2: Vegas attack this Tuesday, Musk went onto Fox News to
Speaker 2: explain the situation as he sees it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it turns out when you take away people's you
Speaker 6: know what, the money they're receiving. Fortunately, they get very
Speaker 6: upset and they basically want to kill me because I'm
Speaker 6: stopping their fraud and they want to hurt Tesla because
Speaker 6: they're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government.
Speaker 6: And well, I guess they're bad people. Bad people will
Speaker 6: do bad things.
Speaker 2: Essentially, Tesla is seen as an extension of Elon, and
Speaker 2: right now, Elon is seen as an extension of the
Speaker 2: Trump government, and even if people feel powerless to stop
Speaker 2: the government, hurting Tesla is seen as a much more
Speaker 2: achievable goal with ripple effects that reach Elon, Doge and
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. And compared to protesting the government, Tesla
Speaker 2: is a soft target, with cars and dealerships all across
Speaker 2: the country, not just in state capitals or in Washington,
Speaker 2: d C. Whereas government facilities are typically hard targets by
Speaker 2: both being less accessible and more protected. JP Morgan Analysts wrote, quote,
Speaker 2: mister Musk's work with the Department of Government Efficiency has
Speaker 2: proven controversial domestically, and while as many members of the
Speaker 2: political right may be pleased as those on the left
Speaker 2: are displeased. The effect on Tesla sales seems nevertheless negative. Unquote.
Speaker 2: Musk is certainly trying to make the best of it
Speaker 2: by tapping into the previous, sleep untapped ev markets of
Speaker 2: mega conservatives. And though the Tesla brand is gaining popularity
Speaker 2: amongst conservatives, that demographic is just far less likely than
Speaker 2: liberals to actually switch from a gas to electric car. Still,
Speaker 2: the President and conservative media have been doing a lot
Speaker 2: of free Tesla commercials. Last week, Sean Hannity announced on
Speaker 2: air that he would be buying a Tesla.
Speaker 5: I don't believe in cancelation. I don't believe in cancel culture,
Speaker 5: you know. And I know maybe it's not going to
Speaker 5: make up a difference, but you know what, after I
Speaker 5: drove my friends Tesla, I went and I already picked
Speaker 5: out the one I want. It's called the what is
Speaker 5: it called the s Plaid? And do you realize this thing?
Speaker 5: An electric vehicle has one thousand and six horsepower and
Speaker 5: goes from zero to sixty two in two point zero seconds.
Speaker 5: And this thing rips and you can go about four
Speaker 5: hundred miles without a charge. And I don't drive enough
Speaker 5: to go further than four hundred miles, So I'm good.
Speaker 5: And maybe it's just a gesture on my part, and
Speaker 5: I like it. I like new technology, but it's just
Speaker 5: a way of saying, you know, look what they're doing
Speaker 5: to this guy.
Speaker 2: On Friday, March fourteenth, Attorney General Pam Bondi said that
Speaker 2: she is opening an investigation into the attacks against Tesla. Quote,
Speaker 2: if you're going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership,
Speaker 2: do anything, you better watch out because we're coming after you. Unquote.
Speaker 2: She released a statement on Tuesday after the Las Vegas arson, writing, quote,
Speaker 2: the swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing
Speaker 2: short of domestic terrorism unquote. Musk just can't seem to
Speaker 2: understand that tons of regular people really hate him now,
Speaker 2: and instead has to invent some grand conspiracy against him.
Speaker 2: Here's how he explained it on Fox News.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, it's really come as quite a shock
Speaker 6: to me that there's this level of really hatred and
Speaker 6: violence from the left. I thought the left of the
Speaker 6: Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy, the
Speaker 6: party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're
Speaker 6: fire bombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships. They're just
Speaker 6: you know, smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company.
Speaker 6: We've never done anything hopeful. I've never done anything howpful.
Speaker 6: I've only done productive things. So I think we just
Speaker 6: have a deranged It's there's there's some kind of mental
Speaker 6: illness thing going on here, because this doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and I think there are larger forces at work as well.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know who's finding it and who's coordinating,
Speaker 6: because this is this is crazy. I've never seen anything
Speaker 6: like this.
Speaker 2: On X the Everything app. Musk is much more open
Speaker 2: about who he suspects are these larger forces. Musk has
Speaker 2: claims that quote unquote multiple Democrat NGOs are coordinating quote
Speaker 2: attacks on Tesla dealerships, staff, and vehicles. Last night, a
Speaker 2: number of cyber trucks were torched in Seattle. Democrats are
Speaker 2: becoming increasingly more desperate and violent unquote people, and Musk's
Speaker 2: replies posted about how protesters are being paid by quote
Speaker 2: Democrat fundraising platform Act Blue, which is funded by Soros unquote.
Speaker 2: Act Blue seems to be the right's new favorite conspiracy topic.
Speaker 2: From claiming that you said was illegally laundering money to
Speaker 2: Democrats through Act Blue, and now that Act Blue itself
Speaker 2: has the ability to funnel money to activist groups. Act
Speaker 2: Blue doesn't give away money or directly fund anything. It's
Speaker 2: a donation based platform for registered organizations. This is like
Speaker 2: saying go fundme paid for your top surgery. No people
Speaker 2: donated on a fundraising platform. But nevertheless, this claim is
Speaker 2: going gangbusters on X the Everything app and being boosted
Speaker 2: by Musk and his associates. A popular right wing politics
Speaker 2: account on X called insurrection Barbie posted that quote attacks
Speaker 2: on the Tesla dealerships, which have been linked to the
Speaker 2: Indivisible Project, a left of stalin ngo that organizes street
Speaker 2: protests for the Democratic Party with shady prepaid debit cards
Speaker 2: that they run through Act Blue, are committing economic terrorism
Speaker 2: meant to tank Tesla's stock and drive a wedge between
Speaker 2: Musk and Trump. Unquote. Elon himself has claimed that a
Speaker 2: mysterious investigation quote unquote has found quote five Act Blue
Speaker 2: funded groups responsible for the Tesla protests, Troublemakers, Disruption, Project,
Speaker 2: Rise and Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 2: Act Blue funders include George Soros Reed Hoffman, Herbert Sandler,
Speaker 2: Patricia Bowman, and Leah Hunt Hendrix. If you know anything
Speaker 2: about this, please post in the replies. Thanks Elon unquote. Now,
Speaker 2: the main organizations behind the Tesla takedown protests, two activist
Speaker 2: groups called the Troublemakers and the Disruption Project, don't even
Speaker 2: fundraise on Act Blue that they have no affiliation, but
Speaker 2: that hasn't stopped Elon from targeting specific activists and accusing
Speaker 2: them of committing crimes simply for organizing pickets outside stores.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile invoking the old antisemitic George Soros conspiracy as Elon
Speaker 2: himself has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to right
Speaker 2: wing politicians this past year and has threatened to primary
Speaker 2: any Republican Congressman who doesn't cave on Trump's agenda. So anyway,
Speaker 2: that is what's happening with Tesla derangement sin ndrome all
Speaker 2: across the country and even the world. Every day it
Speaker 2: feels like we are getting closer and closer to the
Speaker 2: cool zone. See you on the other side, It could happen.
