Trump supporter attempts to RAM Tesla protesters at Palm Beach, FL showroom

Leave a comment

On the 22nd of March, TeslaTakedown activists deployed to showrooms all over the US for another round of protests aimed at starving out Elon Musk. One of these protests was in West Palm Beach, FL.

During the protest, Trump supporter Andrew Dutl attempted to ram down protesters, jumping his black SUV onto the sidewalk as the protesters were not in the street. He missed all of them as everyone including elders sucessfully jumped or scrambled to safety. He then stopped his car and got out.

Someone called the cops.When Dutil heard the sirens he got back in his SUV and fled but it was too late. Police cruisers quickly chased him down and persuaded or forced him to stop. He was arrested and a booking photo identified him. A social media search on his name identified him as a member of a pro-Trump group and also a Veteran. Many progressive and middle of the road vets are furious about this, especially given that Musk and DOGE are after their VA benefits. Someone yelled “traitor!” as he got back in his SUV and attempted to flee before being chased down.

It is also being reported that Andrew Dutil’s current job (until he gets fired that is) is working at the same Tesla showroom!

Arlington, VA—At about 12:30 on Saturday afternoon about 20 arrived early and circled up nearby the Arlington Tesla dealership to discuss safety and security of the ongoing weekend boycott rally which was to begin at 2 pm. The main organizers of Third Act of Virginia asked participants to agree with a thumbs up of a short list of positive behaviors that would keep the boycott action inclusive, safe, and non-confrontational towards Tesla customers. They discussed deescalation as a method of diffusing tensions during conflict.

Arlington Virginia—On week five of the Tesla Takedown protests one could be led to believe a block party was in full swing outside the Tesla dealership in Arlington, Virginia. Many went with their signs and banners but some brought sound systems with playlists and boomed the line with resistance dance music. And the music was in the right key of freedom to dance. Someone even brought a case of Budweiser nonalcoholic energy drinks in the classic aluminum cans.

The community got a large share of favorability ratings from passersby honking their support and thumbs up for the block long protest line. The protesters were near capacity on the sidewalk outside the dealership. One woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty. A man wore a brown shirt and pants with Elon Musk references symbolizing Hitler’s Nazi Germany. See video.

DC area gets Tesla protests at Rockville, Arlington, Georgetown, and Tyson’s Corner showrooms

Leave a comment

Operation #TeslaTakedown continues in the Washington DC area. This time around, four Tesla showrooms got protests in a single day. Video is of the Rockville protest.

Note from the presence of US flags that the Tesla protests are attracting people from far beyond the “usual protest circles” populated by ourselves. NOBODY voted for Elon Musk, and things like trying to cut off Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare don’t just touch the “3ed rail of US politics,” they grab it firmly with both hands.

Orlando Tesla showroom gets protest on International Women’s Day

Leave a comment

As the racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic Trump/Musk regime attempt to consolidate power, protesters deployed all over the US for Internatonal Women’s Day.

One of these protests took place at Orlando’s Tesla showroom on Jonn Young Parkway. While larger protests were held in downtown areas elsewhere in Florida, Tesla is a high-value strategic target that would normally do a lot of business on a Saturday around Noon.

Tesla like Twitter was not created or built up in any way by Elon Musk. Rather, he bought up other people’s hard work and is now destroying the company, forcing the boycott by using Tesla revenues to subsidize his Fascist politics and campaign of destruction of services in the US.

We must boycott Tesla until Musk lets go of it and divests, or until they go out of business. Don’t feed the Fascists!

DEMS hold Tesla protest in Clermont (Lake County), FL

Tesla protests are popping up everywhere as Tesla stock crashes and burns. In Germany Tesla sales are now down 75%.

Even the Democrats have taken up the task of protesting at Tesla showrooms. On the sixth of March, they organized a protest in Florida’s rural Lake County, at the Tesla showroom in Clermont.

The Tesla campaign is nothing less than the public boot stepping on Elon Musk’s economic air hose.

DC Area Tesla Protests Grow, Tap Rage Towards Elon Musk

Leave a comment

Washington DC—Saturday marked the third week of Tesla protests in the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DC-MD-VA) area as the protests outside Tesla dealerships continued growing and spreading across the country. The protests reflect the extent of the rage many feel towards mega-billionaire Elon Musk for his role in the takeover and takedown of vital Federal agencies and functions. Protesters are urging car owners to sell their Teslas or boycott the electric car company altogether. They are calling their actions Tesla Takedown in response to Musk’s Federal Government takedown.

The fact that there are so many drivers honking their horns in support of the protesters shows that many who are not themselves directly involved in the protests support the cvil actions because they feel the same way as those on the sidewalks holding signs and banners, and chanting from bullhorns.

Reportback from DC and Arlington TeslaTakedown protests

Leave a comment

The 15th of February was a national day of protests against Elon Musk and DOGE at Tesla showrooms. Two of these protests were in the DC area: one in Arlington, VA and one in DC’s Georgetown.

Someone had a “Boycott Tesla” sign. On the Geortetown sidewalks someone chalked “Fascist in the mirror are closer than they appear, and someone chalked up “You want a Swasticar?”

What Musk needs to be asking is “you want fries with that?”
