Tesla facilities worldwide have been the target of protests objecting to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's influential role in the Trump administration. This weekend, organizers who have been leading peaceful protests in recent weeks are staging what they hope to be their biggest day yet.

As part of the "Tesla Takedown" campaign, hundreds of nonviolent demonstrations are planned to take place across the U.S. on Saturday. Organizers are calling it a "global day of action" with a goal of 500 protests worldwide.

Yeah right, NPR is non-partisan.

Defund them and let them start their own private entity.

Those “College educated white women”, who park their Tesla about 3 blocks away, will be there. They bought Tesla when they were woke, saving the planet, and now protest the company? Hoping their co-horts key their cars, while they’re marching. ROFL

Do you think they are burning new Teslas so they can sell their Used Teslas before the US Aid checks stop? What they going to buy, a GM or Ford product?

“Organizers are calling it a “global day of action”


Organizers? I thought this was a completely spontaneous reaction to ‘the nazi and the felon’. Does this mean the keying, the arsons are the result of planning? Who are these ‘organizers’?

Apparently there is a protest planned for the Tesla dealer in Meridian, Idaho. It’s supposed to rain all day, so we’ll see how that goes.

NPR working hard to fit “peaceful” and “nonviolent” into the story.

The flak is always heaviest over the target. If you’re noticing constant attacks coming at you from all sides, chances are you’re closer to success than you may think. Keep going, you’re almost there.

Last week I saw a Tesla driven by a “college educated white woman’ that had a sticker in the rear window that said “Tesla haters club”. I wouldn’t buy the car, but it is pleasing to see their anguish.

Since their USAID money dried up the rent-a-mobs and store-bought signs have disappeared, and all that is left is a few dozen geriatric tie-dyed dopers chanting silly slogans and waving illegible homemade signs.

Some Random Headlines

MSNBC: "The 'Takedown Tesla' Protests Spark Empty Outrage from Conservatives"
New York Times: "They Loved Their Teslas. Now They're Too Embarrassed to Drive Them"
Reuters: "Protesters Rally Against Elon Musk at Berlin Tesla Showroom"
ABC: "Activists Planning Peaceful Protest at Over 200 Tesla Showrooms"
MSNBC: "The Right’s Outrage about Tesla Protests Rings Especially Hollow"

Extreme-left fascist MSM ... bad as it ever was ...

Per Musk, complaining about the reductions and efficiencies being implemented by DOGE is the biggest tell of who has been involved in the ongoing federal government corruption. This says something about those promoting these protests including NPR who highlighted the protests.

Haven’t heard anything about these yet today, so they must be small, uninteresting and non-destructive.

I think they got warned off by Musk’s security comments.

We were out in DC a week or two ago and saw a lot of Tesla’s with anti-Elon stickers.
