"Guess who showed up to defend #Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.
As #Musk continues to tear through the federal government, and Tesla’s stock price continues to plummet, the organizers of the Tesla Takedown movement have pledged to continue to protest, with the movement now reaching other parts of the world as well." #TeslaTakedown

... importantly, there is, in my view, no discrepancy on a strategic (intent) level:
a) #Musk's primary goal is, as you know, to transform #humanity into a #MultiplanetarySpecies. Colonizing the closest possible habitable planet (#Mars, #Terraforming) is indispensable for this lifty aim. That will cost the global economy billions of dollars for many years, that will then be missing for feeding the poor...
Best picture so far that describes the current situation in the White House

" #Wisconsin's attorney general on Sunday asked the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to stop billionaire #Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters, an appeal that came hours before #Trump's ally planned the giveaway at an evening rally.
An appeals court on Saturday rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law prohibiting giving anything of value in exchange for a vote" abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/wi…

Just a worthwhile reminder for #TeslaTakedown folks: #Tesla was never a real car company under #Musk. It was always an unprofitable grift propped up by massive government subsidies. The bubble was always going to pop at some point. It's always been vulnerable. There will never be robot taxis, or robots, or any of the other bullshit he's always promised to pump up the hype. That was always a lie.
The work you're doing is great and important, and you will win. Elon will find more ways to dump money into Tesla to prop up the stock, but, in the end, it will collapse. Tesla should have died a long time ago. You are attacking the only thing Tesla has: image. Keep going, you will win.

#Musk goes on another nat sec field trip
"Elon Musk is set to visit the Central Intelligence Agency on Monday, the latest stop on a tour through the US government’s spy apparatus that’s provoked alarm from some Democrats and intelligence experts."
Money is pouring into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election so fast that political observers now believe it is likely to reach $100 million by Tuesday, election day.
Already, it has become the costliest judicial race in U.S. history.

#EdwardCoristine is among the most visible members of the #DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.
Past reporting had focused on his youth - he is 19 - and his chosen nickname of "#BigBalls," which became a pop culture punchline. #Musk has championed the teen on his social media site X, telling his followers last month that "Big Balls is awesome."
Exclusive: #DOGE staffer, '#BigBalls', provided tech support to #cybercrime ring, records show
The best-known member of Elon #Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data & #cyberstalking an #FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.
Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:
“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” he said. “I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.”
