1. Tesla stock is tanking.

(Barron's, 2/12/25) "Coming into Wednesday trading, Tesla stock dropped for five consecutive trading days, losing about 16% in the process. Shares are down about 23% since the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration and about 32% from a record closing high of almost $480 in mid-December."

[Auggie]

2. Shareholders should be whining. Will Mush listen to them?

[Initech]

7. No, he's just going to keep robbing them stupid.

I hope to see that asshole broke and penniless one day.

[NJCher]

11. broke, penniless

AND IN PRISON!!!

[Initech]

14. I'd personally like to see him shot into space on one of his shitty rockets!

And make it a one way trip!

[coprolite]

16. Keel hauled by one of his spaceships

[DBoon]

26. I'd rather see him forced to mine emeralds in South Africa

[Norrrm]

30. Rura Penthe

[txwhitedove]

35. Ha, had to look it up, fictional penal colony island from 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Excellent.

[BidenRocks]

58. Recently, a Klingon penal colony.

The prisoners mine Dilithium.

[LiberalArkie]

12. Musk, I believe has controlling share.

[Bengus81]

59. He owns 13% and his brother owns some.

Right now though he'll always have the usual sycophants that will ride it down and not say a word.

[LiberalArkie]

61. He must have sold off a lot. Of course he is not one that I have ever paid that must attention to.

Just another Ken Lay to me

[ShazzieB]

17. Thrilled to hear it!

[CoopersDad]

3. How much of Eloon's absurd wealth depends on his 20% of Tesla stock?

I'm all for the protest, but dollars to donuts he's not worried one bit because he's so massively wealthy without Tesla.

[dalton99a]

4. About 60%

[slightlv]

15. Between government contracts on Teslas and rockets,

I really, really, really want to see him bankrupt... but it'll never happen. These kinds of people just keep on going, making money hand over fist because they don't care who gets hurt in the process. They're the most important person in and to the world, in their minds. Besides, push comes to shove, he'll just steal another idea, buy that company, and start the grift all over again. It's all he knows. Like trump, he's never had a real creative intelligent thought of his own. No wonder they make such good bedfellows. They're not even the flip sides of the same coin. They ARE the coin, together.

[ybbor]

5. Same happened in Ann Arbor

I don’t have photos, but there were folks picketing the dealership here today, as well.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Call them "swastikars". He really hates that. Good to see the pics. Thanks

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Does he actually hate that? He doesn't try to hide his proclivities.

So I’m thinking he may not actually hate it that much.

[Attilatheblond]

19. True, but he seems to hate being called out on the reality of his proclivities.

[3Hotdogs]

8. I challenge the message on the third photo.

[NJCher]

9. I like

"Who buys cars from a Nazi?"



Three cheers for the protesters!!

[Pinback]

20. They're all good, but the one that really cracked me up was

simply “UGLY TRUCKS.” Ugh, those things are truly awful.

I’ve seen a couple of those monstrosities on the street, and they look like cheap special effects from 1960s Dr. Who episodes. I hear they’re selling like cold soggy hotcakes. No wonder he tried to sell them to the govt. as “armored vehicles.”

[et tu]

41. but if he

sells them to trump usa, they may
be modified and used as 'deterrents'
for protesters- chilling

[Initech]

13. Thank you Austin!

[Attilatheblond]

18. Damn, this may be the one time I regret using the Make Trump Kittens again browser app

and I added Elon to the program. All I see are really sweet kitties. Some kind soul give me a clue as to what the graphics are?

[ShazzieB]

24. They are all of people holding up signs outside Tesla stores.

4 from Austin, TX, and one from Minneapolis. Signs include:

DON'T BUY SWASTICARS
----------------

MUSK
TAKE YOUR EVIL HANDS
OFF MY 70 YEARS OF
DEMOCRACY
----------------

WHO BUYS CARS FROM A NAZI?
-----------------

STOP
DUDES
OUT TO
GUT
EVERYTHING

[Attilatheblond]

28. Many thanks, ShazzieB

Not sure why the app blocked those photos out.

[ShazzieB]

21. I love this!

The signs are brilliant! One of the guys in the Minneapolis pic has one that says "DON'T BUY SWASTICARS."

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. I love it,

exercising their 1st Amendment right.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. My youngest went by the two Tesla dealerships in my county and there were no protests

I am keeping an eye out for protests for her to go to

[Aussie105]

25. It's a FIRESALE!

Everything in the country must go, while it still has value!

Both Trump and Musk are assuming their 'income' is immutable.

Wait until Trump's tax base shrinks because people are getting fired and the economy is going downhill, and Musk's Tesla shares become worthless.

. . . then again, some preventative action to stop the economy from sliding into the abyss altogether, might be preferable.
Let Tesla die, but save the economy!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. I LOVE IT!!!

[Meowmee]

29. Good for them 👏🏻👏🏻

I wish we had been able to go today at the one near us, I was not feeling well. If they have another one, I will try to go. I was debating on what to put on a sign. I think M is a Nazi, etc., and other stuff.

[Blue Owl]

31. K&R

[MichMan]

32. Any reports of any being set on fire?

One of the protesters is carrying a sign saying "Burn a Tesla Save Democracy"

[Blue Owl]

44. Give them a minute and they'll do it themselves

[Initech]

33. Thank you protestors!

[pattyloutwo]

34. Elon gave this hacker

your social security number. Great sign, Seattle guy. Thanks for posting the photos!

[Starbeach]

36. Thanks for Posting

Great post with all these pics.

[mdmc]

37. thank you for some good news

KR

[mdbl]

38. Does anyone think he cares?

[Peregrine Took]

39. For those who bought one before realizing what a terrible person he is - they should put a sign on thier car

apologizing to the world for their error in judgement.. A PROMINENT SIGN.

[dalton99a]

40. +1. Anyone buying a new Tesla today is almost certainly a Nazi

There are better options on the market

[Justice matters.]

48. Seeing his cultist followers on x...

They are PROUD of being Fascists (although they have no idea it's Fascism).

[iluvtennis]

42. Love, love, love it 😍 Every protest/bit of resistance helps.

[progree]

43. DOGE - Dangerous Oligarchs Grab Everything (on one of the signs)/nt

[pandr32]

45. I love it!

Go team Democracy!

[Dan]

46. Not advocating, but waiting for the days (like the sixties)

When things go BOOM in the night.

[keepthemhonestO]

47. This is

Very encouraging, thank you for all the pictures.

[mwooldri]

49. Need to treat Tesla stores...

... like anti abortion activists treat Planned Parenthood and other "abortion clinics".

And any other Musky smelling business.

[kimbutgar]

51. Thank you for posting

Everytime I pass the Tesla lot where I live I flip it off the dealership. One of the workers saw me once and flipped me back and I laughed !

[dalton99a]

52. Having Tesla on your resume is not exactly a positive

It means you were a slave or a fool

[AllaN01Bear]

53. ding.

[OverBurn]

54. I read an article about a guy with a Tesla truck, said he was selling cause everyone was flipping him the bird. Ha Ha

[ReRe]

55. Don't ya just love Democracy?!

Thanks for all this wonderful protest all over our land!

MUSK: Go Home: TO HELL!

[malaise]

56. Most excellent

Rec

[Cha]

57. WOW.. Bless the Protestors!! TY

[TommieMommy]

60. Wow 👍 nice protest. Musk has ruined his reputation

[BadgerMom]

62. Yesterday afternoon in Camarillo, CA I saw the protest as I traveled on the 101.

No photos because we came up on it unexpectedly, but we honked and waved as we passed.
