(without providing any evidence) Elon Musk claims Tesla demonstrators are somehow being paid via the government's 'waste

Elon Musk claims Tesla demonstrators are somehow being paid via the government’s ‘waste and fraud’ (Fortune)

• Without providing any evidence, Tesla CEO Elon Musk alleged the protests plaguing Tesla showrooms in the U.S. and Europe are due to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) eliminating financial fraud and not, as protestors have stated, due to his unelected high-profile role in government. He also claimed the protestors are getting paid for demonstrating against the electric vehicle maker, a point he has speculated on in the past.

For the muskrat’s info, I would have paid out of my own pocket for the opportunity to protest the motherscratcher. I guess I did, if you count the fuel to get there & back.

Most of the aristocracy got what it asked for after treating everyone else as disposable. People don’t like being disposable. They don’t like their children being disposable.
