The days of million-man (or woman) marches, usually bankrolled with taxpayer dollars funneled through now-defunct USAID, appear to be over, as their ability to sway national sentiment has diminished significantly. Still, these dark and corrupt NGOs receive monies from leftist billionaires, as we've previously reported. LoL: angry old white liberals Vince Langman @LangmanVince OMG, looks at this Tesla protest in Charlotte NC, it's all old white Karen's and their miserable low testosterone cucks 😂😂😂😂 https://x.com/i/status/1906083974583103509 Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital 🚨NEW: Joe Rogan calls out Democrats for paying people to show up to rallies and protest Tesla "For a lot of losers, a lot of people who don't have things going well in their life, and I've been a loser at many points in my life, if someone offered me $400 bucks to show up somewhere of course I'd go. I'd call people Hitler, I'd hold up that stupid sign, if you found me when I was 21, 100% I'd take that money. They were giving up $1000 bucks for people to protest Tesla. They had rules of engagement, are you organizing gangs? Are you paying money to people and telling them how to engage in violence? I thought this was peaceful protesting. I don't see many violent pro-Tesla people. So who is this violence for? The police?" https://x.com/i/status/1906074357002338466 Elon Musk @elonmusk · Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests? 🚨NEW: Joe Rogan calls out Democrats for paying people to show up to rallies and protest Tesla "For a lot of losers, a lot of people who don't have things going well in their life, and I've been a loser at many points in my life, if someone offered me $400 bucks to show up You asked who is funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests. I've got answers for you, after going onto the streets of northern Virginia for the local protests here, seeing familiar faces from the Virginia Democratic political machine and then following the money -- and the data. AstroTurf Protest Industry To your question, at latest count, as of 3/30, 5:30 AM: 🔴24 organizations and counting are funding and organizing the #TeslaTakedown protests and leading the very partisan propaganda campaign against Tesla, Tesla drivers, Tesla employees, Donald Trump and you. See below to see all 24 groups with their revenues, involvement, tax ID numbers and other info. 🔴These organizations have combined annual revenues of at least $124 MILLION and counting. 🔴 100% of the groups are aligned with the Democratic Party. At the protest on 3/29 at Tyco Road, in Tysons, Va., a photo I took of a "Virginia Democrats" sign in front of the Tesla dealership. 🔴 Most of these groups enjoy tax-deductible status as 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations, claiming they are "nonpartisan." A few have PACs. The organizations have not returned requests for comment. Database 🔴 You can see the raw data on 306 #TeslaTakedown protests in the database here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13MOGhdMPc- _lGGdEGkS0QVSayczGG7Z5rlk_LUxdCTk/edit?usp=sharing Back story I'm a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a propaganda expert and editor of the @DPearlProject , a journalism nonprofit named for my WSJ colleague and friend Daniel Pearl. Since Oct. 7th, I have been reporting on the anti-Jew, anti-America, anti-Israel protests and building a database, following the money. It numbers 2,000 groups now, and I am working on a web and mobile app for parents, policymakers, university administrators, law enforcement, the public and others. I went to the #TeslaTakedown protest a week ago Saturday on Tyco Road at the Tysons, Va., and saw familiar faces from Indivisible and the Fairfax County Democratic Party, shouting for you to be deported as they stood outside the Tesla dealership. I wondered too who is organizing and funding the protests nationwide. I got the protest details scraped from ActionNetwork and Mobilize, the two platforms aligned with the Democratic Party promoting the #TeslaTakedown protests, and built a public database of the groups behind the Tesla protest. AstroTurf, not "grassroots" 🔴 In an article for the @FairfaxTimes , I wrote about how the local protests in Tysons, are a window into how the protests are AstroTurf, not "grassroots." What this case reveals is the way that a multi-million dollar professional protest industry manufactures outrage in top-down political theater, agitprop, or agitation propaganda, and now criminal offenses. Here is the article: https://fairfaxtimes.com/articles/local- teslatakedown-reveals-grassroots-protests-are- astroturf/article_1c368d4d-708c-4074-b5fa-5eaf6a32ea97.html 🔴 Next step: I just got data on the April 5 #HandsOff protests and will be adding that data to the database. In addition, I am completing an analysis of the propaganda using the tools of natural language processing and content analysis. Why is this important to report on? Because defending principles of free enterprise and individual liberty in the U.S. means allowing people to buy whatever make of car they wish without fear of danger or harassment and allowing companies to do business without fear of danger or harassment. All, please let me know if you have any questions, ideas or recommendations.
