TeslaTakedown (#TeslaTakedown) events occur nationwide. I put those in the MSP metro region on the nokings.kateva.org calendar.
The TeslaTakedowns are a legal and peaceful response to the catastrophe of Elon Musk. They are not a perfect response however. Tesla auto retailers and workers don't deserve to suffer for Musk's crimes. This is how I think about the movement.
What is Musk doing that threatens America, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Ukraine and pretty much everyone else not living under Putin?
1. Corruption: buying votes, conflicts of interest, funding Trump corruption
2. Breaking the constitution: Laws are for the little people, not for the Kings and Barons.
3. Breaking government: Careless and cruel destruction of American science, government services, and governance.
4. Putting Tesla dealers and workers in harms’ way.
Musk is unconstrained by the rules of government employment. The weakness of the American state means he has only one potential vulnerability; his wealth and influence decline when Tesla's share price falls. TeslaTakedown's goal is to reduce Musk's power. If Musk had a shred of honor and integrity he would compensate Tesla dealers for the harm he has brought them. If the Tesla board respected the company they would fire Musk.
We aren't protesting because Musk is a lousy person, a liar, a coward, a bully, and a crap father. We aren't protesting because Musk is without honor or integrity or compassion. We protest because Musk is causing great harm to America and to most of the world outside Russia and China.
