Musk pushes dumb lies about paid protesters as Tesla sales collapse

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During an earnings call with investors on Tuesday, billionaire Trump financier Elon Musk regurgitated a conspiracy theory about citizens who have been protesting him at Tesla dealerships.

“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized, they’re paid for,” Musk said. He went on to allege that the reason thousands have protested “is because they’re receiving fraudulent money” and are “recipients of wasteful largesse.”

The call was part of Musk’s efforts to reassure investors after Tesla announced extremely disappointing earnings. Tesla reported that it has earned $409 million in net income for the first quarter of 2025, down 71% from the same quarter last year.

The decline occurred as Musk took on a central role in President Donald Trump’s administration, pivoting from his role as a major donor to leading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE, which has no congressional authority, has interfered in multiple federal departments, creating chaos and firing thousands of long-serving civil employees and generating a backlash in the courts and public opinion.

You can get paid to do this? Where do I sign up? Still waiting for my George Soros check.

1. That crappola might float in the MAGA toilet bowl, but at a Tesla investor's meeting it'll sink right to the bottom.
