You don’t have to “sign up”. You can just scroll down a bit to the “Find A Protest Now” button, or click the direct link I provided above.

ETA, you don’t even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.

    I highly recommend not visiting this website, but if you absolutely should please use Tor. The log collection policy of this website is unknown and god forbid somehow the logs are obtained it could be used against you.

      This is good advice. Thoth here’s a thought. Most people around here know about tor and VPNs and http proxies and whatever else. And even without that probably in general leave a more anonymous footprint on the web. I’m betting there are millions of “normies” visiting that site from their phones following FB or X (lol) or IG or TikTok links. (Which would be the same phones they will have on them when they attend one of these protests. ) But I’m betting there’s millions of visitors. Trump can’t even deport millions of people, much as he’d like to claim. If they start arresting millions for visiting a website (not that they’d have anywhere to put them) that would certainly have people rioting in the streets.

      The admin running the site is blocking access from Tor.

      Error: Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.

      Edit: I just sent them an email to the address on their WhoIs registration asking them to allow Tor. Email is 8hugsrrg2j7xebd@proxy.dreamhost.com, I encourage you to do the same.

      Or this is all a honeypot and we’re all fucked. Yippee!

    YSK - You can find a Tesla protest near you by making a sign and looking for the closest Tesla Service Center/Dealer…

    We had one here in my small suburb town a couple of days ago. I was surprised, and pleased to see it. There were only about 50 people, but there was 50 people.

      There’s a million things you could do with that. The musk of kleptocracy? I dunno.

      Or you could do a bunch of other Elon refences - Don’t buy from klepto-guy, gimme a Model FU, Elon owes a horse by now, etc.

      Elongated Muskrat is currently sabotaging democracy. This is one of the few ways we can deliver consequences for his actions.

              There was nothing about your comment indicating it was something Trump said. He says a thousand dumbass things every day. Nobody can keep track of it all. You shouldn’t expect everyone to have had all the same experiences you’ve had. A comment like that really requires a /s to signal that you’re not being serious.

                It’s genuinely not my problem if you aren’t able to discern reality from sarcasm. Take personal responsibility for your own mistakes. Telling other people off because you made a mistake just makes you look silly. I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are.

      Tesla is sort of a public-facing proxy for Musk’s wealth, and is becoming a lightning rod.

      It’s not so much about practicality, but desperation and an opportunity to send a message.

      Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.

          Yup. If Tesla goes down, he won’t be able to take out loans as easily anymore and might need to sell assets for liquid cash.

          Clearly you have better ideas of what we can do. That’s awesome! Get out there and start organizing people to implement your superior plan! 💪

              You’re still not talking about your better idea. We’re all ears. Don’t hold back. What do you think we should do instead?

                  These are not things individuals can do this weekend. These all require the actions of the politicians that are owned by the billionaires that don’t want these changes. What are your great ideas that individual citizens can implement right now?

                  Ah yes! Get idea! Just completely change the system! Why didn’t WE think of that!

                  Good show! I’ll call everyone today and tell them that these protests are completely stupid and we have a better idea now

          At the very least, it has to slightly annoy him. But likely also has a psychological effect. Will it make him suddenly decide not to be an asshole? Probably not. But it may spin him further out of control, to where he starts making even stupider decisions until he finally fucks with the wrong people or the wrong stuff and then really finds out.

          His other companies aren’t valued as highly.

          The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn’t public so we don’t actually know if it makes money or it’s as shitty as all his other companies.

          Without Tesla he’ll have real trouble getting loans… or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he’s not self-made and relies on free money from the government.
