Anti-Musk Protests Erupt Across US as Protesters Attack Tesla Showrooms with Molotov Cocktails and Guns
Anti-Elon Musk demonstrations have erupted across the US with Left-wing protesters attacking Tesla showrooms with guns and Molotov cocktails. The Mail has the story.
Dozens of fired-up crowds assembled outside Tesla stores across the country on Saturday afternoon to protest against Musk’s efforts to slash Government spending and enact reforms. Demonstrations also erupted in London, Portugal, Malaysia and Iceland.
Roughly 250 activists were gathered outside a showroom in New York City, holding anti-Musk placards that read “Block Fascism Now” and “Musk Must Go” as they shouted “Elon Musk is not elected! Democracy must be protected!”
Five protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct at the Manhattan demonstration and one was taken into custody for resisting arrest, obstruction and violation of local law, the New York Daily News reported.
There have also been more than a dozen acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to police and local reports.
A Tesla showroom in Salem, Oregon, was shot at with an AR 15-style rifle in February. Suspected vandal Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, is also accused of causing major damage at the same store with Molotov cocktails in January.
Similarly, four Tesla cybertrucks were set ablaze overnight at a storage lot in Seattle’s industrial SoDo neighbourhood, KING-TV reported.
Officials say at least two vehicles were severely damaged in the fire. Seattle police are investigating if the blaze was an act of arson. …
Police say it is currently too early in the investigation to determine if the blaze was intentionally set.
The potential act of arson comes just days after suspected vandal Lansky was arrested in neighboring Oregon for attempting to destroy a Tesla dealership.
He allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at the showroom on January 20th, striking the dealership building and several vehicles and causing fires, Department of Justice court filings state.
Lansky then returned to the site on February 19th to fired multiple rounds into the building and at least one vehicle, federal prosecutors allege.
He was arrested last Tuesday and been charged with illegally possessing an unregistered destructive device. He was ordered detained pending further court proceedings.
Police in Oregon are also working with the FBI to investigate gunshots fired at a Tesla dealership in Tigard, outside Portland, last week.
Investigators believe at least seven shots were fired at around 1.46am Thursday, damaging three cars and shattering windows. One bullet went through an office wall and into a computer monitor. No one was injured in the shooting.
While the motivation for the attack has not been confirmed, Tigard police said they “are aware that other Tesla dealerships have been targeted across Oregon and the nation for political reasons”.

Yes he’s a bit of a prat with his autistic ways but he is basically just a child havng fun. For god’s sake let him have a bit of fun. It upsets me to hear of people being nasty to him. Same with Trump. I have no respect for either of these characters and yet I find it distressing if either of them are insulted.
Listen to his interview on Rogan. He knows more about rockets than NASA.
The first part on DOGE is also interesting. If you wanted to money to keep flowing, a photo would do, even a one he says that anyone could generate with AI
Lol – you can always tell the true protectors of democracy by the guns and molotov cocktails they carry 🙂
Musk was indeed not elected – he was appointed, by the President who was elected, and gets to appoint whoever he likes as an advisor. Other Presidential appointees are also not elected but are subject to Senate confirmation. Anyway, I think Musk’s likely role was pretty well publicised before the election so people who voted for Trump knew what they were getting.
Well I think the Leftards have redefined the word ‘democracy’, that’s for sure. They’re absolutely off their tits;
”Liberal women perform Nazi salutes in Paris to protest against Trump and Elon Musk, claiming they are ‘fascists.’
The women, performed the shocking salute, while having Swastika’s painted on their chests.”

Twitter has been experiencing a massive cyber attack coming in waves all day, so maybe these links won’t work.
Lefturds view democracy as when they win an election.
This just shows the complete silliness of the Unelected … ! meme. It’s no better here then when people refer or Ursula v. d. Layen who got nominated as head of the EC by representatives from elected governments and was appointed because the European Parliament voted in favour of that an unelected bureaucrat. We also have a real lot of unelected dustmen but that’s not considered a valid criticism in this case.
And Musk is cutting swathes of the unelected officials that people’s taxes pay for. Musk is not being paid and has made the valid point that no effort is made to run ‘garbage collection’ on redundant, irrelevant, outdated or wrong regulations and rules.
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. You can’t sit around all rational and try to discern the value of this regime. Its energy comed from the realm of the spirit the desperate cry for somethintg to slow down the decline of the west. Trump is a very clever person in that he attempts to embody the decay and to thereby mollify it.
Trump and Musk are upsetting all the right people. Just keep it up. The way these “hate won’t win” people keep showing themselves up is hilarious.
Democratic discourse at its finest — call someone a Nazi for absolutely no conceivable reason, throw home-made fire bombs, shoot at shops and vandalize them in other ways. Or shall we perhaps call that terrorism as it’s violent and clearly intended to terrorize perfectly random people who happen to work for someone whose political positions and actions a lot of other someones really dislike? But no, we all know extreme right-wing terrorists are an omnipresent danger while those firebombs are really just love letters in disguise.
These people are destined for the dustbin in the not too distant future simply because reality will become so much more extreme that these characters will seem like anachronisms. But in the meantime we should rejoice in the panic of the Anglo-Americans. They became so smug and so assured that they would endure forever and now they are being destroyed. The destruction of the social fabric and safety net is unfortunate but entirely neccesary. When the safety net is removed you and your family will learn how exposed you truly are.
You sound like these guys:
“To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. At least a weary populace can seek peace only in our offered Communist State, at last only Communism can resolve the problems of the masses.”

“If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore we must continue propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general and of teen-agers in particular.”

Activists shouted “Elon Musk is not elected! Democracy must be protected!”
American political toddlers, throwing their activism out of the pram, ignorant that the President can constitutionally appoint as an adviser whosoever he sees fit for the role (as do PMs appointing Chiefs of Staff, SPADs, etc, in this country).
Clear sign Colonel Musket is over the target. Continue bombardment.
And what do these people have to say about the scumbag Carney being appointed as Canadian PM with no public election. Nope. Nothing.
Imagine being unhappy at someone cutting government bloat.
Isn’t this the same behaviour of BLM and the Pro-Palestine/Islamic mobs? They are violent and intolerant collectivists and the very ones that will demand government coercion of the general population to align with their beliefs along with increased taxation to fund it all. All of them unelected.
Communists. Democracy is only important when their side is losing. Scum. Nazi-adjacent people. Nazis were socialists.
Yeah, crazy isn’t it, here’s somebody trying to ensure taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and that person attracts this level of oppobrium presumably from pro Palestine astroturfers.
Sickening really, except that nowadays people are smart enough to see past it.
Anybody going to mention Fauci if we’re talking unelected officials?
The unfortunate thing is that the Trump bromances are worth about as much as a Putin peace agreement, so poor Elon will find out pretty soon that he’s enduring this for nothing.
Paid actors. Who is paying them? The new admin will find out.
These are acts of terrorism. Those claiming Musk is unelected should look at our government and the vipers web of unelected quangos, I’d like to see these torched as being anti-democratic.
The Left are all about Intolerance in the name of tolerance. You would think that a company that makes electric cars supposedly to save the planet would be seen as a great thing by the left. But no. They look at who owns that company and see him attack their other leftist nonsense saving the planet is conveniently pushed aside as they do what they do best. Attack and Destroy.
Simulatenous “protests” in different locations. I see the Deep State at work.
Musk is suggesting (probably not without evidence) that the attackers on Tesla dealerships are paid. He points to ActBlue, the Democrat Party’s money gathering firm. Lots of media reports now about how ActBlue is collapsing probably due to criminal investigations. All a big mess.
