Between Tesla shares falling 30% in one month, losing billions due to alienating Carlos Slim, saying he is afraid for his safety, and almost crying mid-interview over his companies imploding, it’s clear that the pushback is taking a heavy toll on Elon.
Judging by Trump’s need to promote Tesla and tell his cabinet that “they control their agencies, not Elon Musk,” the latter is clearly seen as a weak link by the current administration, and is most likely costing them countless supporters due to the mass layoffs.
This is absolutely crucial! Musk is currently the biggest threat to democracy, not Trump. Trump is an idiot who failed to steal the 2020 election. Musk has access to sensitive systems, including, in Trump’s own words, “those vote counting computers.” We need to capitalize on the public discontent and drive a wedge between him and the current administration. If we manage to have him fired before mid-terms, we have big hopes. Else, there’s no guaranteeing anything, including that the next election won’t be stolen.
There are several ways to achieve our goal:
- Make the message clear. Protest signs and slogans asking to uphold democracy fall on deaf ears because they seem vague, preachy, and infantile. Protest signs and slogans demanding this man be fired and his cabal dismantled are clear and forceful. Hell, we could even put a DOGE spin on it. “Want to remove waste? REMOVE ELON MUSK!”
- Delete Twitter. I understand some of us want to break the echo chamber, but that website is a lost cause. The lower the number of users, the less powerful he feels, the less advertisers care about him.
- Keep things constant. Don’t protest or boycott for a day and then stop. Keep up the pressure, escalate it. That’s how their attention is grabbed.
- Keep things peaceful. Yes, it sounds lame, but what we need right now is absolutely not for Elon to “get Luigi’d.” Something like that would only grant him martyrdom in the eyes of MAGA and give Trump the opportunity to crack down on freedoms through the pretext of “security.” Don’t attack; let him fail on his own, and pressure his collaborators to estrange him.
