Tesla facilities and vehicles across the US are facing protests and vandalism. The Tesla Takedown protests are said to be in response to the role of Tesla CEO Elon Musk in the cost-cutting task force Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Donald Trump administration. Some “Tesla Takedown” protests have also been destructive with fires intentionally set at Tesla showrooms and charging stations in Colorado and Massachusetts last week. There has also been a spike in Cybertruck vandalism across the US, and some car owners are defacing their own Teslas in protest of Musk. Violence against Tesla dealerships will be labeled domestic terrorism and perpetrators will “go through hell,” the US President Donald Trump said last week in a show of support for Elon Musk.
Now a man named Jackron — who describes himself as a former Globalist, Mechanical Engineer and Researcher — in his Twitter profile tagged Elon Musk and claimed that he infiltrated one of the protests at a Tesla dealership and got to know a few things. The things he wrote include how these Tesla protests are organised through Facebook groups. Along with the post he also shared a printed paper that he said is a copy of anti-Elon chants distributed among the protestors.
What Jackron wrote about Tesla protest and Elon Musk’s response
Tagging Elon Musk, Jacktron wrote, “Hi @elonmusk, Yesterday I had an informant infiltrate one of the protests at Tesla dealerships and they told her a few things:
1. These protests are only happening in contested congressional districts
2. They’re being funded by 501c4 charities being given dark money from Democrat politicians of these districts
3. They’re organized through facebook groups since 𝕏 is monitored by pro Elon people
Here is a copy of their prepared anti-Elon chants:
To this Elon Musk replied: “Interesting. Who is funding them?”
Earlier Elon Musk wrote a post ‘wondering’ why so much hate against him considering that his companies make great products and people love them. “My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls,” he wrote.
Donlad Trump’s warning to Tesla protestors
Last week, President Trump warned those engaging in arson and vandalism against Tesla. “Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you, and … you’re going to go through hell,” Trump said. “They’re harming a great American company,” Trump added.
In the past few days, Tesla’s market capitalization has more than halved since hitting an all-time high of $1.5 trillion on December 17, erasing most of the gains the stock made after Donald Trump won the US election in November.
