It's official: The percentage of Americans supporting Tesla Takedowns is about 75% based upon a scientific study of supportive horns, arm waves and thumbs up from drivers who passed the Tesla Tysons' dealership Saturday and showered their support upon the 100 or so demonstrators bemoaning swasticars and their architect, Elon Musk.
Fox News reported about 275 domestic protests and 500 across the world were lodged against Musk and Trump over the weekend.
I know the number of participants is growing because I attended for the first time Saturday and have plans to attend more.
A man (a security guard?) dressed all in black stood outside the Tesla entrance but nothing to fear since all was peaceful, and three Fairfax County police cars waited at the ready in case the situation changed.
Musk said Tesla protestors were "paid." Ha! He should know since he pays voters but paid we were not, reminding me of August 18, 1995 in Nashville when Newt Gingrich (with emphasis on the last syllable) put in an appearance at a Nashville bookstore to promote his new book, to be met by 200 protestors of whom I was one.
With my children I watched the local news later that night to learn that Gingrich said the protestors were paid $10 each.
My 11-year-old son looked at me and said, "But you weren't paid, Mom!" Of course not, I told him: "It's just another example of how politicians lie."
The Tesla Takedown movement grows with more demonstrations planned. Go to Indivisible or Tesla Takedown to learn more.
