      This is the main thing that’s linked on the Tesla Takedown website


      They are also are people talking about local events on Bluesky. For instance

      There’s some degree of presence on Mastodon, like here’s one group that someone made

    Hundreds? Guys, that is pathetic. Look at Belgrade and learn how a protest is done.

    Fight!

      Regardless of your intentions, comments like this unfortunately just make people less likely to turn out at future protest. You don’t get millions on the street all at once. It takes time to build and that energy is building. Pessimism that nothing is enough isn’t helpful

      This hundreds in just one city, as part of ongoing movements nationwide where people are just starting to learn it exists. There have also been many others today each with hundreds. This is not a concentrated protest. It takes time to get there

        I see your good intentions but you don’t have the time to wait for that momentum to build up

        Unless you are expecting to fight out of concentration camps and militarized cities

          Then join and get to work making them larger. They grow exponentially. Even if you’re not in the US, there are Tesla Takedown protests outside of the US that can still affect Elon Musk

          Get to work organizing and building up protests. You want rapid growth, help the effort! None of us have to be bystanders

          Here are some upcoming Tesla Takedowns along with guides on how to organize them around if none are around you

            I’m Canadian… I’m busy learning civil defense and stacking up on non perishables

            And yes, I have participated in the Tesla protests here

          Someone is feeling hyperbolic today.

            Isn’t trump going hard against free speech?

            designating common vandalism against tesla as domestic terrorism?

            defunding universities which do not crack down on students?

            I think you are feeling a bit optimistic

            ps: do you still think I’m exaggerating??
