So Saturday was the day that the radical leftists came out to throw their ‘Tesla Takedown” tantrum protests around the country.
Tesla has done nothing to them; yet they’re not shy about saying they are trying to tank the company and getting Elon Musk out of the government with DOGE. They don’t care about who they might hurt in the process, including the Tesla dealers, owners, and workers.
The protesters in New York City even held up a sign that said “Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy” in a truly threatening and delusional comment. They even had cut-out cardboard Teslas a couple of people wore, with fake flames on them. They were of a piece too: mostly old, mostly women, and with those eyes.

There were some interesting moments as people tried to talk to the protesters in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia.
Listen as this man explains to one of the protesters that he’s voted Democrat for 25 years but after everything he’s seen, including things like this, he’s never going to vote Democrat again.
“I’d rather not vote than vote Democrat at this point. And I’ve voted Democrat for 25 years! So what does that tell you?” he said. This is what they don’t get; they are alienating people, including Democrats, with how extreme they are being.
Many of the Tesla owners being attacked are/were Democrats, and this has opened up a window in their minds into their side.
But what was also pretty cool was all the counter-protesters who came out in “Stand with Tesla” or “Tesla Shield” actions to protect Tesla, and to stand with Elon Musk at locations around the country.
They held up “Thank you, Elon!” and Trump signs in Paramus, New Jersey, to the many honks of approval from folks passing by on Route 17. They showed up first before the protesters; one X account claimed they had many more people.
The supporters who came out at the Tesla in Sacramento even brought out donuts for the folks inside. Now, that was nice.
One of the best takes was from this lady in Ohio, who held a sign thanking Elon and “Big Balls” (one of the DOGE crew). She said she was in the market for a car, and all this is now convincing her to pull the lever for a Tesla because they are “the most American made car.”
Good for her and the rest of the folks, standing up for what’s right.
Elon Musk and DOGE are bringing much-needed accountability to our out-of-control bureaucracy as they take a chainsaw to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
