This is a smart approach. Targeted, easy to identify, and they have locations all across North America. I don't want to see violence or vandalism, just people making it clear that it cannot be business as usual for Tesla while Musk is proactively dismantling a democracy.

As for boycotts: not buying a Tesla is an easy enough sacrifice when they already have a reputation that is less than stellar, and there are now a number competing electric cars to choose from.

Finally, since Musk has also spoken in favour of the US annexation of Canada, and is permitting X to be used to influence and undermine our coming election, I'm surprised Canadian locations have not also been targeted for protest. I look forward to the next time Tesla sales stats are released here: I would imagine driving a Tesla around in Canada is not particularly fun at the moment.

If you “don’t want to see” Battle over the MASS MUDER VIOLENCE and THEFT the TotalitarianFascist, CAPITALIST CLASS has (intentional spelling pun alert) REIGNED DOWN ON ThePeople of this Generation since the 70s, then, like most Americans, you must be wholly EDUCATION-DEPRIVED regarding

the COST paid for YOUR BENEFIT of the legislated, 40-Hour Work Week, your 8-Hour Work Day, and your Child Labor Laws, as well as the Power of SOLIDARITY of Union Strikes, diligently prepared for in, times of peaceful employment, by the compounding interest of MUTUAL-AID STRIKE-FUND UNION DUES~ in a previously secure banking system, over which “President” MUSK’s UnConstitutional, phoney “government efficiency” board NOW HAS TOTAL CONtrol.

▪️Not to mention the media silence of the MULTITUDE of explosive disasters caused by the TNT VOLATILITY throughout ALL PHASES of Lithium Ion Battery construction, transport, storage and recycling.

The ANALYSIS Section is particularly compelling

Thanks for that link. I’m just learning about these volatile batteries recently. I’m told it’s new and deficient technology—not ready for retail—and I can’t believe Tesla uses these dangerous batteries without greater public scrutiny. Media silence indeed.

Tesla is a tainted product, and now, we’re under contract to buy $400 MILLION worth of the Swasticar armored truck for the state department. They need them to protect THEM from US, and that is not hard to imagine how that will play out. Violence is inevitable. They’ve already planned for it, so better today than when they’re fully prepared with robot security in place.

I love this post, especially the section at the end, offering information about particular action opportunities. Bravo!

I wanted to respond particularly to the section on labor participation and mobilization. I wrote two years ago about the opportunity for the labor movement to play a critical role and forcing an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza. While the labor movement has recently grown more mobilized, it remains both marginalized (especially by Trump’s effective neutralization of the NLRB), and also co-opted by the Democratic Party, despite its allegiance to Wall Street and the Pentagon. https://open.substack.com/pub/shahidbuttar/p/we-the-people-can-unplug-the-war?r=97w99&utm_medium=ios

If you plan to install solar panels, avoid Tesla inverters as well. Their tech has not kept up with advances in solar panel tech. Mt system blew through two Tesla inverters before they tweaked an inverter to make it work. I lost three months of solar generation.

Right on. I also propose that we stop calling him ‘the world’s richest man’ and instead call him ‘the world’s greediest parasite’. Billionaires are parasites. To call them rich is to play into the fantasy that creates the foundations of their power. No consensus, no power.

Yes, it is! Thank you!

And it's time to take down the grifter technoking, too.

Did you know about his grandpa, his dad, his apartheid emerald mine?

Do you know who his backers are?

Do you know he got his vision for Mars from Wehrner Von Braun?

Why are they splitting their strength? Both groups should be demonstrating on one day. We have to be smarter in how these things are organized.

Local leadership initiative is needed. You have what you need to make it happen at your closest Tesla. 🙏🏽

There's one tesla on my block. Its owner also has a Harris/Walz sign in their yard. Yes, still.

So...that's awkward.

There also are actions across Europe and the sales have crashed in multiple countries. I truly hope Germans will take note of what happened in the US, and the consequences of Musk meddling, before voting next week

Thought you should know: I just tried subscribing … I pressed the “subscribe” option and the little thingy that goes round and round when it’s trying to connect, has been doing so for at least five minutes!

Are others having THIS ISSUE? Are you being Blocked? Or am I being Blocked?… Seriously!

It IS unnerving… to say the least. Thanks for any suggestions.
