TERROR: Rick Wilson is explicitly calling on Americans to “Kill Tesla, Save The Country,” urging direct attacks against the company explaining Tesla is Elon's weak spot. He portrays Tesla as a “bank for fascists” and a “goose-stepping hedge fund” financing Musk’s ambition to seize control of the US government, amass a trillion-dollar fortune, and crown himself Emperor of Mars. This isn’t political hyperbole—it’s a full-throated call to cripple a private enterprise under the guise of combating authoritarianism. The irony, of course, is lost on Wilson.

TERROR: Before targeting Tesla, Rick Wilson said that someone needed to "put a bullet in Donald Trump" to stop him. Now calling Trump and Elon Musk authoritarian dictators, his extreme rhetoric and call for an attack on Tesla are unhinged and dangerous.

IT’s time to prosecute this long-time TDS hater for advocating the killing of a sitting US President.

[Bikkuri]

The “donor” class are the ones that are destroying the country.

[Bullish]

Well, you can always trust the sage political advice of... What’s his name?

[Right_Wing_Madman]

I apologize for being so ignorant, but who is Rick Wilson?

[know.your.why]

If he really did say that bullet line regarding PDJT, why is this guy not in jail for advocating violence against a sitting president?

[know.your.why]

Something stinks.

Issuing a threat of harm is a Class 6 felony under some states’
criminal laws, carrying with it a penalty of 1-5 years in prison.

If that threat is terroristic in nature, with the intent to commit terrorism,
it is a Class 5 felony, w/ penalties of 1-10 years in prison if found guilty.

[Cobra64]

Bongino needs to arrest this creep.

[Cobra64]

Yup.

[Trump_Triumphant]

That guy needs to be in a jail cell.

[ballplayer]

Bald headed freak

[EVO X]

Bongino said he ran across him at an airport and he stunk to high heaven and needed a bath...

[LegendHasIt]

You are so brave Ricky; Inciting feeble minded lunatics to do your violence for you. If you really believe the violent propaganda you spout, why don’t you go do it yourself?

[Chicory]

According to Wikipedia, Rick Wilson is a 67yo guy who acquired a bad case of TDS in 2016, despite being a “Republican political consultant.”

Also, “He was later a strategist for the Evan McMullin presidential campaign.”

Never heard of either of them before!

[Secret Agent Man]

Fulfilling campaign promises == dictator

Not fulfilling campaign promises == libs would call him out for not doing them

Can’t win, may as well fulfill the promises

[Mark17]

I apologize for being so ignorant, but who is Rick Wilson?

Good question, but I have to ask, is the dude in jail, since I was under the impression that publicly threatening the president was illegal?

[Ann Archy]

WTH hasn't he been ARRESTED!! Are the SS afraid of his GAY COOTIES?

Truly an EVIL POS!

[FreedomPoster]

If you or I had said something similar about Biden, we would have been.

Rick Wilson is the poster boy for Trump Derangement Syndrome:

In 2018, Wilson released his first book, Everything Trump Touches Dies. The book reached number one on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list for a week.

Wilson's second book, Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump – and Democrats from Themselves, was published in January 2020.

In 2019, he co-founded The Lincoln Project, an anti Trump operation.

In 2020 Wilson called Trump supporters "part of the credulous boomer rube demo." and, "childless single men who masturbate to anime."
