The first protest against the Musk administration outside the Tesla showroom in Dedham, on Feb. 15, had just a handful of demonstrators.
Today's Tesla Takedown had at least a couple hundred people, starting at the Lenscrafter parking lot on the other side of the Legacy Place entrance, stretched past the Hooters and only ended at the further Tesla driveway, the one where Bed, Bath & Beyond used to be.
Note to any attorneys general who might be reading this: The protesters were exercising what are still, at least technically for now, their First Amendment rights. They were peaceful as they held their signs and chanted things such as "Deport Musk! Send him to Mars!" and "Felonies matter! Lock up Trump!"
And they kept clear of Tesla's two driveways, so this guy in a Cybertruck could pull in for servicing or charging or just to commune with fellow owners of rolling raccoon habitats:
Loads of passing motorists honked in support - including one guy in a gray Tesla turning out of Legacy Place. In my time there, I only heard one hater, a woman pulling out of Legacy Place towards 128 who started yelling "Get the fuck out of ..." but I and a couple of protesters standing on the island in the middle of the road didn't get to here where we were supposed to get the fuck out of as she accelerated away.
More protesters:
Guy has a bone to pick with Musk:
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Has the MA AG been going after protesters recently? In my experience, it's been local police and the county DA.
I think he's referring to Pam

Because the Massachusetts AG, Andrea Campbell, is busy fighting the federal government and is not threatening to put Tesla protesters in prison.
No reason for any AG to be involved

Sad thing is it doesn't lower

Sad thing is it doesn't lower prices and get my job back. And I may be speaking for a large population.
So the answer is?

Remember when the election was about the price of eggs and getting American jobs back?
Whatever happened with that?
Funny thing about the eggs

Trump has decided to allow egg imports to increase supply and lower prices. I'm no economist, but it seems like this free trade thing might have some real upsides.
What do you suggest?

Since you seem to be an expert in effective grassroots movements, we all await your sage advice on what people can do that does work.

I do enjoy a dumb protest. 15 seconds after I pass I already forgot it though.
Sounds like...

since Musk is the prime destroyer of government services and liberties, and fosters corruption.
His power rests on his wealth, and his wealth rests on the price of Tesla stock. If the protesters force him out of government, that's a win.
That does not apply to individual Tesla owners, who could have bought their car for virtuous reasons.
