Priceless.
They knew all this was coming to a head this year. It's why the Cybersuck was burning while under the canopy at trumpy towers in las vegas.

Early organizers of some of the "Tesla Takedown" protests say the organization's goal is to hit Elon Musk where it hurts: his wealth. As protests surge and Tesla's stock plummets, even loyal investors are turning against the CEO, blaming his political ties for the company’s decline.
Fred McKinney loved his Tesla. He bought his first car—a Tesla Model 3—in November 2018 and describes himself as a Tesla evangelist. Over the last few months, he's come to regret it.
"It was a great car," McKinney, co-founder of the economic consulting company BJM Solutions, told Fortune. "And I wasn't just a casual Tesla owner, I was an evangelist for the vehicle and the company, and quite frankly, for Musk."
"I have remorse now about that because he's proven to be someone that doesn't deserve my support."
McKinney sold his Tesla in February, swapping it out for an alternative electric vehicle. He cites Musk's role in the Trump administration, especially his connection to the cost-cutting team DOGE, as the reason. "It was a political decision but also a moral decision," he said. "I see the damage that [DOGE] is doing to the fabric of our society."
McKinney didn't know he was part of a wider movement when he ditched the car.
"When I sold my car, the uprising that is now taking place around the world was probably in its infancy, and I didn't know anything about it, but I was comforted to see that others felt the same way," he said.
Over the last few months, protests against Tesla have erupted worldwide—some peaceful, while others have involved vandalism and arson. The efforts have caused the EV maker’s stock to plummet, tanked car sales, and angered investors.
Early organizers told Fortune the aim is to hit Musk where it hurts: his wealth.
