If you organize or participate in #TeslaTakeDown protests you may have gotten an email from @indivisibleteam about fashy “counterprotesters” showing up at these events! If you are new to protesting or organizing, this may be very alarming, but here are some things you can do to help keep everyone safe.

This little dude damn near licked me to death at the #TeslaTakedown protest last weekend, but that's about it for being accosted.
There's a Tesla Takedown in the 32804 (College Park) Orlando

@lauren Elmo is saving #FreeSpeech by killing it!
This is bribery! Musk is paying people for political power and for Tesla dealerships to be allowed in Wisconsin. (WI Law is no manufacturer-owned dealerships are allowed.)

Join the Global Day of Protest! March 29th!
A few days ago I sold my 2015 Tesla Model S and bought an Ioniq 5. Sure, I bought the Tesla with good intentions far before he was maliciously crazy, but one can only coast by on that thin morality for so long in this post-salute world. #TeslaTakedown
It took a few days but internet sleuths were able to identify the man in the video...

When the crowd of protesters accused the Tesla customer of supporting a Nazi and possibly being one, the man replied "Yeah!" and did the deed.
The man goes on to explain the reason he is buying a Tesla is specifically due to the anti-fasicst protests and to support Musk.
Original footage of the encounter was uploaded to YouTube.
Stuck for inspiration for what to wear, or what sign to bring, to your Saturday #TeslaTakedown protest? We got a hashtag for that! #teslatakedownart
During last weekend's Tesla Takedown protests, a Tesla customer was seen exiting a Kansas Tesla dealership to do multiple Nazi salutes in front of a cybertruck.
The Nazicar loving Nazi then tried to get protesting soccer moms with their kids to fight him while claiming to be a former US military service member.
Eventually a woman, presumably his wife, was seen dragging the hate filled Tesla customer back into the dealership.
A word on "pro-Tesla" counter protests.
Over the last few weeks, we've heard from from hosts and attendees who are nervous about counter protests and considering changing their plans.
First: we hear you! If you decide that you need to make a change, we support you. But...

Let's bring some more of this energy to London on Saturday!

I wrote about speaking on the #TeslaTakedown livestream, how nice it is to not use X anymore, and a bit of Laura Loomer-inspired harassment https://micahflee.com/join-a-tesla-protest-this-saturday-as-part-of-the-global-day-of-action/
I disagree with the author's framing:
Damaging cars and buildings is not violence. They are not 'hurt' and can be repaired or replaced.
"some instances of violence have been reported against Tesla vehicles and dealerships."
Do you live in the #UK? Do you want to tell Elon and Donald to go fuck themselves?
