"Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?" Musk posted to X early Sunday morning, accompanied by a video clip of podcast host Joe Rogan discussing left-wing protests in recent days.
A "Tesla Takedown" movement formed in recent days, with more than 200 protests planned on Saturday in the U.S., and another few hundred planned protests in Canada and Europe as part of the "global day of action." In the U.S. the protests slated for Saturday were promoted by actors, filmmakers, congressional legislators, academics and activists who led a "mass mobilizing call" last week to rally support, and described in the media as a "grassroots" effort to buck Musk and Trump, while working to tank Tesla's stock.
Tesla locations have faced violence in recent weeks as Musk and his DOGE team investigate federal agencies in search of government overspending, fraud and mismanagement, while critics accuse the Trump administration of creating an "oligarchy" by tapping the billionaire to help streamline federal government operations.
DOGE is a temporary cross-departmental organization that was established to slim down and streamline the federal government. The group will be dissolved on July 4, 2026.

"I know when something is AstroTurf. Fun fact: I was among the first reporters (if not first) to put the concept of ‘Astro Turf’ lobbying into the pages of the Wall Street Journal as an international trade reporter," former Wall Street Journal correspondent Asra Nomani posted to X after reporting on a Tesla protest last Saturday in Tysons, Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C.
"While local #TeslaTakedown protests may appear spontaneous and community-driven, they are the product of well-funded, tightly coordinated campaigns led by national political organizations like the Indivisible Project, http://MoveOn.org, and professional protest firms," Nomani continued.

Schwartz Gyorgy.
That’s been a given from the start.
They need to get their asses kicked. The $200 they get for showing up won’t be worth a busted nose.
Who is paying for the protestors room & board food ,bail money , that stuff adds up real quick. Find the assholes responsible & crucify them.
It’s been reported for days that 200 dealerships were targeted for protests.
Somebody’s running the show.
Should not be hard for Musk with all his money and technical expertise to find out exactly who is funding these terrorists. Then if he is a truly serious person, he will hire some experienced Sicilian security consultants.Such people are effective and remain very quiet.
“They all immediately left the minute it was 12:00 pm.”
Odd.
All riots and mass arsons are tied to the democrat party note last 40 years.
And this support may be funneled through NGOs funded by (or formerly funded by) USAID.
Anything that appears in the gaslight press is Astroturf.
Their sole mission is Communist propaganda.
Could be many in line to help with it Soros hate America first and many more.
Colleges and universities have became a training ground for them.
CRT DEI................................................
Duh. Trump and The Stupid Party do NOTHING, which effectively condones, and by extension, encourages further illegal behavior. This is not complicated.
Democrat Party street goons.
Again.
Are they back to printed signs? For a few weeks after Trump dropped the bomb on USAID I saw a lot of hand written signs, but I expect they should have the money laundry running again I’m even if Soros has to use his own money for a while.
The response I get is: “That’s not who we are.”
You don’t say.
Hey, no problem. Pam Blondie will get to the bottom of this in no time! Threats work miracles.
