1/ A thread on how to take down Elon Musk and Tesla. Yes, the protests are terrific and highly useful in creating public awareness & dissuading would-be buyers. I salute the magnificent people organizing them & attending them. But let's discuss another line of attack that can be VERY POTENT.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer. Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

It's so absurd that it's hard to take seriously, but the way Trump is treating Canada -- the centuries-old closest ally of the country he ostensibly runs -- is just despicably evil. And too many people who watched too much South Park at too young an age think it's hilarious.

I'm no politician, but there's not a representative in this country who couldn't find a bright, young, patriotic federal employee from their district who got the buzz saw from Musk and Trump. Get them on camera. Make these job losses personal, ya know.

When I was working on Ludicrous in 2016, a source told me "Elon Musk isn't a Silicon Valley guy. We like flat, collaborative organizations. He's a South African, he wants his companies run like slave plantations." People forget the Valley wasn't always like this. Tech doesn't have to be like this.

This is great, but we knew Tesla's Europe sales would go down. Not a lot of suspense there. The real battleground is the US. Don't get comfy because the Europeans are doing their part, we need to get out there and make sure Tesla's US sales see this kind of double digit decline too! #TeslaTakedown

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

You know, this problem could just solve itself: President Trump, furious about delays in the construction of two new Air Force One jets, has empowered Elon Musk to explore drastic options to prod Boeing to deliver them sooner.
