‘We’re Going After Them’: Musk Threatens Those Who Criticize Tesla
Car company has been sinking since billionaire owner has been in administration
Billionaire Elon Musk is threatening anyone who criticizes his company, Tesla.
Musk has seen the fortunes of his electric vehicle manufacturer sink this year as consumers worldwide recoil from his work disrupting the US government.
Tesla dealerships across the United States have been targeted for protests, by those angry that Musk has been working closely with Donald Trump to dismantle entire functions of the federal government.
Most protests against Musk’s company have been peaceful, with a few scattered incidents of violence and property damage at Tesla dealerships.
Consumers are turning away from purchasing Tesla vehicles. The company’s share fell to 9.6 percent last month, the lowest it has registered in February for five years. Europeans also are staying away from Tesla in droves, where sales have fallen nearly 50 percent.
The company’s stock has dropped nearly 30 percent this year, since Musk began his high-profile work for Trump. Musk has been publicly flirting with far-right neo-Nazi groups and stunningly performed Nazi salutes at Trump’s inauguration.
Tesla is the main source of Musk’s wealth, and with that wealth in jeopardy, he’s threatening anyone who speaks out against the company, and is using the sporadic incidents at Tesla locations as his pretext to do so.
Musk blames those few who committed violence against Tesla dealerships on people listening to “propaganda from the far-left.”
“The real problem is not the people — it’s not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership. It’s the people who are pushing the propaganda that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here and we’re going to go after them,” he said this week in an interview with Fox News. “And the president’s made it clear. We’re going to go after them. The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them.”
