Behind the Tesla Attacks

To assist Trump with his purchase, the South Lawn was temporarily turned into a Tesla showroom with five different models parked in a row to choose which shiny new car to buy. A significant portion of this Tesla sales event was spent by Trump praising Elon Musk's work at DOGE as well as Elon's business venture, and complaining about people treating Elon Musk unfairly, saying that he quote shouldn't be penalized because he's a patriot.

allow him to operate, Trump remarked, Wow, everything's computer. At the end of the live streamed Tesla commercial, Trump said that he would pay with a check, though for the duration of the event, Trump served as both buyer and salesman. He read off from a sheet of notes on pricing and features for various Tesla models, like how quote Tesla's can be purchased for as low as two ninety nine a month.

stock value and encouraged others to buy Elon's cars. The next day, Tesla shares did rise four percent, but are now trending back down amid a global wave of protests against Tesla for Musks involved mint with Doge and the Trump administration, as well as Elon's Nazi curious behavior. Trump has tried to face this wave of hate against his new best friend, head On Truthing on his platform of choice Truth Social last week quote Elon Musk is putting it on the line in order to help our nation,

and he is doing a fantastic job. But the radical left lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the world's greatest automakers, and Elon's quote unquote baby, in order to attack and do harm to Elon and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the twenty twenty four presidential ballot box. But how did that work out? Unquote.

There's a lot to impact there, from Trump calling Tesla Elon's baby, despite Elon carrying around his baby at the White House near twenty four to seven, to bizarrely declaring protest boycotts as illegal. Not only has Trump called the Tesla boycott illegal, but during the White House car commercial, he announced that vandalism of Tesla's will be labeled as domestic terrorism, promising that perpetrators will quote unquote go through hell.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said, quote ongoing and heinous acts of violence against Tesla by radical leftist activists are

nothing short of domestic terror unquote. There certainly has been a surge of violence targeted at Tesla vehicles and dealerships, which I will discuss in detail later this episode, but for the past months, there's also been a wave of nonviolent protests and mass mobilization against Musk and Tesla at dealerships all around the country and even overseas, which the aforementioned boycott is a part of the quote unquote Tesla takedown protests call to quote sell your Tesla's, dump your stock,

the picket lines. We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop Musk unquote. Their website has a map of Tesla dealerships around the world and a list of upcoming protests at various locations, which can be searched through via zip code. There have been reoccurring weekly protests at dealerships every Saturday in cities across the country, with demonstrations at more than fifty Tesla showrooms attracting crowds of between dozens to a thousand,

like in Tucson, Arizona. The boycotts and public demonstrations certainly aren't helping Tesla's stock price and international reputation, but they are not the only display of displeasure directed at Elon and Tesla, as others are employing more direct methods to damage the company. Beyond peaceful protests, picketing's short lived dealership occupations, and waiving anti Elon Musk signs outside Tesla stores, Tesla vehicles themselves have become the nation's hottest graffiti mural service.

Actually around the world, people have been using Tesla's to scribble epithets against Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Even some eco conscious owners of Tesla vehicles have defaced their own cars with stickers that read I bought this before he was a Nazi, which, hey, you can also put on

your old Kanye West records. Speaking of Kanye West, some individuals have taken to marking Tesla's with a swastika, which at first raised eyebrows and confused some investigators, as typically when there's swastika graffiti, it's supposed to be anti Semitic in nature, whereas in this case, based on external factors, this is most likely a public attempt to link Elon Musk and Tesla with Nazism, following Musk's own anti Semitic posts,

fall Right politics, and the whole salute thing. Stickers and flyers have spread from the UK to San Francisco, reading don't buy a Swasta car, but it's not all stickers and graffiti. We'll talk about the other Tesla attacks after this ad break. Okay, we're back. One of the most bizarre instances of Tesla vandalism was when forty four wheels were stolen off twelve unsold Teslas in a Texas parking

lot on Valentine's Day. Investigators say they don't currently have any leads since the nearby security cameras weren't recording and the Tesla cameras were not active. These Teslas were actually being stored in an Amazon parking lot six miles away from their home dealership. Allegedly, Tesla is contracting with other businesses to store their cars. A midwave of vandalism at Tesla dealerships. On March eleventh, wheels were damaged on multiple

vehicles at a Tesla dealership in Dedham, Massachusetts. In Meyers, California, Tesla superchargers keep being sabotaged, with epoxy found in the charging cable and anti elon musk graffiti with chargers marked with swastikas. Seven Tesla charging stations at a shopping center were arsened outside of Boston, Massachusetts, on March third, and on March seventh, Maltov cocktails were thrown at a Tesla charging station in South Carolina, with long live Ukraine on

the ground in red paint. A twenty four year old man was taken into custody on March thirteenth. But it's not just wheel thefts and supercharger sabotage. Tesla dealerships have been a target for anti musk graffiti, vandalism, and armed attacks. Some commentators have been conflating the picketing protests and graffiti

with actual instances of arson and property destruction. People like libs of TikTok labeling simple spray paint as quote unquote trans violence or trans terrorism, which is not to say some people aren't taking a more destructive approach towards their elon musk grievances. Whether that qualifies as terrorism is another issue though. On January twentieth, a man wearing black pulling a wheelie cart approached a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon,

and threw a Molotov cocktail at a cyber truck. Surveillance footage shows the man pull out ignite and throw three more Molotov cocktails from his rolling cart before realizing an eyewitness is charging their Tesla nearby. The man in black pulls out a suppressor mounted AR style rifle and points it at the witness as they drive away, before continuing to throw more Molotov cocktails at parked vehicles. A rock was used to break the glass of the dealership showroom,

and another Molotov cocktail was thrown inside the building. A criminal complaint claims that this incident caused around five hundred thousand dollars in day damage to the dealership, including damaging seven Tesla vehicles. A month later, on February nineteenth, the same dealership was hit again, this time with gun shots

breaking through windows and hitting vehicles. In early March, a forty one year old man was arrested in connection to both incidents, with court documents claiming fingerprints were identified on recovered glass bottles used for explosive devices, and the suspects car was identified in footage captured by a police car parked near the Tesla dealership a bit north of Salem. In Tigered, Oregon, there have been two incidents of gunshots

being fired at a Testa dealership just this month. A Tigered police press release reads quote for the second time in a week, Tigered police are investigating shots fired at a Tesla dealership. Early this morning, March thirteen, twenty twenty five, around four fifteen am, more than a dozen shots were fired at the dealership, causing extensive damage to cars and showroom windows. Unquote. There's also been a series of incidents

at a Tesla dealership in northern Colorado. A spree of anti musk graffiti and vandalism started in January, with Malotov cocktail style and scendiary devices found on the scene. On February seventh, police responded to a call about graffiti and possible arson at the dealership. A few days later, a security guard confronted an individual spray painting the front windows of the dealership, and on February twenty fourth, a suspect was arrested at the dealership allegedly in possession of bottles

and gasoline. She was charged. In late February, another person was arrested allegedly in connection to a similar, yet unrelated incident at the very same dealership in Loveland, Colorado. After Malotov cocktail style device was found burning between two Tesla vehicles on March seventh, rocks were also used to damage both the building and multiple cars. At around eleven pm. On Sunday Day, March ninth, four cyber trucks erupted into

flames at a Tesla parking lot in Seattle, Washington. On Monday, March seventeenth, two cyber trucks were set on fire at a dealership in Kansas City. Here's how local TV news reported the incident.

in Charge Spencer Evans. Evans said that while it was too early to call the attack in active terrorism, it had quote unquote some of the hallmarks and a potential political agenda unquote. Now this particular instant in Las Vegas really got to Elon Musk, who spent the rest of the day complaining on Twitter that Tesla has quote done nothing to deserve these evil attacks unquote. Attacks on Tesla

have not been contained to the United States. In early March twelve, Tesla's parked outside of a dealership in southern France were set ablaze, and outside Berlin, unknown persons set fire to a high voltage transmission line on a power pylon, cutting power to a massive Tesla manufacturing plant in Germany for multiple days. This follows a series of direct actions and a forest encampment where the Tesla gigafactory seeks to expand by leveling two hundred and fifty acres of forest.

The German forest encampment lasted nine months before being successfully raided by police this last November, with police destroying treehouses and trashing tents after the whole my heart goes out to use salute and subsequent endorsement of AfD. Musk's reputation

in Germany specifically is suffering steep decline. To quote the Washington Post quote, Tesla stock has fallen by more than thirty five percent since Trump's inauguration and last year the comp but he suffered its first annual sales drop in

more than a decade. In Germany, Tesla car sales plummeted by seventy six percent in February compared with a year earlier, according to figures released Wednesday, and some owners have expressed buyer's remorse over owning a car some now see as a symbol of far right politics, a stark departure from the environmental consciousness it was epitomized. And we'll talk more about how these protests are affecting Tesla's international reputation after this ad break. Okay, we're back.

When Elon's reputation gets damaged, so does Tesla's and vice versa. Tesla stock has been declining for nine consecutive weeks. JP Morgan analysts recently said that Tesla has lost so much value so quick that there really isn't any comparison. Quote. We struggle to think of anything analogous in the history of the automotive industry in which of brand has lost so much value so quickly unquote, and Forbes writes quote.

Last week, JP Morgan analysts described the recent melting of Tesla's perception, especially in pockets of the world in which Musk inserted himself into right wing politics, such as Germany. About fifty three percent of response to a CNN poll published last week said that they hold a negative opinion of Musk, compared to roughly thirty five percent with a positive view and eleven percent with no take unquote. Overseas, Tesla sales in general are way down, even as electric

vehicle purchasing is going up. New data from the European Automotive Manufacturers Association show that Tesla registrations in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK have dropped by forty five percent when you compare January twenty twenty four to January twenty twenty five. And this decline from Tesla comes as overall electric vehicle sales have increased thirty seven percent in the same January

twenty four to twenty five head to head comparison. China's own evs are surpassing Tesla in global production and sales in China, which is a huge EV market, and Chinese manufacturer BYD is on track to over take Tesla in global sales this year. And so if you consider the Tesla protests as a sort of public display of unhappiness with Tesla and Elon Musk, combined with all these other economic factors impacting the automaker, if these trends continue, Musk

and Tesla could be in real trouble. After the Las Vegas attack this Tuesday, Musk went onto Fox News to explain the situation as he sees it.

the Trump administration. And compared to protesting the government, Tesla is a soft target, with cars and dealerships all across the country, not just in state capitals or in Washington, d C. Whereas government facilities are typically hard targets by

both being less accessible and more protected. JP Morgan Analysts wrote, quote, mister Musk's work with the Department of Government Efficiency has proven controversial domestically, and while as many members of the political right may be pleased as those on the left are displeased. The effect on Tesla sales seems nevertheless negative. Unquote. Musk is certainly trying to make the best of it by tapping into the previous, sleep untapped ev markets of

mega conservatives. And though the Tesla brand is gaining popularity amongst conservatives, that demographic is just far less likely than liberals to actually switch from a gas to electric car. Still, the President and conservative media have been doing a lot of free Tesla commercials. Last week, Sean Hannity announced on air that he would be buying a Tesla.

hundred miles without a charge. And I don't drive enough to go further than four hundred miles, So I'm good. And maybe it's just a gesture on my part, and I like it. I like new technology, but it's just a way of saying, you know, look what they're doing to this guy.

short of domestic terrorism unquote. Musk just can't seem to understand that tons of regular people really hate him now, and instead has to invent some grand conspiracy against him. Here's how he explained it on Fox News.

I've only done productive things. So I think we just have a deranged It's there's there's some kind of mental illness thing going on here, because this doesn't make any sense. Yeah, and I think there are larger forces at work as well. I mean, I don't know who's finding it and who's coordinating, because this is this is crazy. I've never seen anything like this.

number of cyber trucks were torched in Seattle. Democrats are becoming increasingly more desperate and violent unquote people, and Musk's replies posted about how protesters are being paid by quote Democrat fundraising platform Act Blue, which is funded by Soros unquote. Act Blue seems to be the right's new favorite conspiracy topic. From claiming that you said was illegally laundering money to Democrats through Act Blue, and now that Act Blue itself

has the ability to funnel money to activist groups. Act Blue doesn't give away money or directly fund anything. It's a donation based platform for registered organizations. This is like saying go fundme paid for your top surgery. No people donated on a fundraising platform. But nevertheless, this claim is going gangbusters on X the Everything app and being boosted

by Musk and his associates. A popular right wing politics account on X called insurrection Barbie posted that quote attacks on the Tesla dealerships, which have been linked to the Indivisible Project, a left of stalin ngo that organizes street protests for the Democratic Party with shady prepaid debit cards that they run through Act Blue, are committing economic terrorism meant to tank Tesla's stock and drive a wedge between

Musk and Trump. Unquote. Elon himself has claimed that a mysterious investigation quote unquote has found quote five Act Blue funded groups responsible for the Tesla protests, Troublemakers, Disruption, Project, Rise and Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America. Act Blue funders include George Soros Reed Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bowman, and Leah Hunt Hendrix. If you know anything

about this, please post in the replies. Thanks Elon unquote. Now, the main organizations behind the Tesla takedown protests, two activist groups called the Troublemakers and the Disruption Project, don't even fundraise on Act Blue that they have no affiliation, but that hasn't stopped Elon from targeting specific activists and accusing them of committing crimes simply for organizing pickets outside stores.

Meanwhile invoking the old antisemitic George Soros conspiracy as Elon himself has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to right wing politicians this past year and has threatened to primary any Republican Congressman who doesn't cave on Trump's agenda. So anyway, that is what's happening with Tesla derangement sin ndrome all across the country and even the world. Every day it feels like we are getting closer and closer to the cool zone. See you on the other side, It could happen.
