Tesla Takedown

Yesterday, Saturday March 1, we were at a "Tesla Takedown" protest in San Antonio and met up with our friends from Blanco. We gathered with several hundred on the IH 10 service road in front of the Tesla showroom/dealership and protested from 2-4pm. This is an international movement to put pressure on Elon Musk where it hurts most. Our protest met with broad support from many passing by (honking, thumbs up, waving, etc.). See  Tesla Takedown Campaign and What to know about the #TeslaTakedown movement targeting Elon Musk and DOGE (Feb 28, 2025).

We do not agree with the chain saw tactics of an unelected billionaire, no mater what his intentions, empowered by Don the Con from Mara-Lardo with a pseudo department. DOGE is not empowered by Congress, Elon Musk is not a cabinet director reviewed and approved by the Senate, his minions in DOGE are not auditors — they're young hackers gleefully wrecking institutions built to protect the vulnerable. The auditors who were in place in the many agencies, the Inspector Generals, were put there by Congress to perform that role and have the ability and training to fill that role.  DOGE does not. The IGs were illegally fired by "He who cannot be named" without cause to give Musk and DOGE the room to do their damage. See The Significance of Firing Inspectors General: Explained (Jan 31, 2025).

This country is no longer a democracy, it's a Broligarchy of the filthy rich who care little for anyone other than themselves. The damage done will not be so easily undone. So much for "American Exceptionalism". For those who voted for this; we hope you're happy with what you got. What's the price of eggs?

We head home shortly, not a moment too soon. Apparently tariff wars begin Tuesday.
