#OccupyTesla
PROTESTS! SIT-INS! OCCUPY TESLA!
Like SpaceX rockets, protests against Tesla have exploded across the country. Folks in NYC and outside London launched the first sit-ins of a Tesla showroom!
To stop Trump, Musk, and the Dark MAGA fascist coup attempt, we need a nationwide and globally coordinated movement. We also need to rapidly expand our tactics to include mass sit-ins and the occupation of entire Tesla showrooms, like we’re seeing on college campuses in support of Palestine. To help us in this fight, we created the #OccupyTesla website, complete with a Toolbox of how-to guides.
Musk’s power is in Tesla’s Stock Price. To stop DOGE, we need that price to fall. JP Morgan thinks that it’s stock price of over $260 is WAY too high and that $120 is closer to reality, which means it can easily be made to fall by 55% or more.
Musk has used as much as half of his Tesla shares as collateral on loans when he bought Twitter. He’s lost so much money as the Tesla stock price has fallen. So he had to have his xAI company buy Twitter to bail out his sinking corporate ship. If the Tesla stock price keeps falling, it could bring his whole corporate empire down on top of him.
The fascist assault will only be defeated when our movements are able to bring the entire economy to a grinding halt through mass protests, sit-ins, and general strikes. That’s the only way wanna-be American Caesar “hair plugs” Elon Musk and wanna-be Hitler “spray tan” Trump will be stopped.

THEY DESTROY DEMOCRACY
WE BUILD A DEMOCRATIC
REVOLUTION AGAINST FASCISM
Musk, Trump, and their Dark MAGA fascist movement want to destroy the government and what little actual democracy remains. They won’t stop until they've become another wanna-be master race. They desire nothing less than to be our ubermensch overlords, to make us all their slaves, until they can replace us with AI and robots, then they’ll leave us to die or exterminate us outright. We must not let that happen.
They are genocidal colonizers. If we do not stop them, then our future will look more and more like what Palestine looks like today. The genocide in Palestine is but foreshadowing the violence coming for all of us if we do not stand up and fight back right now!
To stop them, each protest at Tesla must act as a rallying point for communities to come together, like the movement to counter ICE raids and deportations. In places like Detroit, they’re building local democratic assemblies as spaces to plan community defense against ICE, and how to stop fascism overall.
We need the outdoor protests at Tesla to be coupled with sit-ins (sit-down protests) inside too. For the more adventurous, occupying a showroom wouldn’t be out of the question either, like Hind’s Hall at Columbia. If going inside doesn’t work or doesn’t make sense where you’re at, perhaps the street itself can be occupied. Car caravans anyone? As the rallying cry says: “Shut It Down for Palestine!”
We need to expand democratic assemblies in every community AND every workplace to defend against and defeat the fascist coup attempt unfolding before our eyes. As a critical part of that, we need to build democracy within the movement against DOGE. We need to be building democracy within all our movements.
To bring democracy to our loosely organized movement, we need every community involved in this struggle to form an assembly, in order to coordinate their actions at Telsa. It’s time for a revolution against fascism, and a democratic assembly in every community and workplace is a key part of how we get there.
They destroy democracy. We build a democratic revolution against fascism! Now, what about Tesla workers, especially in the factories?
WORKERS DEMOCRACY INSIDE TESLA: STRIKE, OCCUPY, AND TAKE IT OVER!
We need to be organizing Tesla workers into this movement. Its factories are known for harsh and unsafe working conditions. Tesla has been aggressively anti-union and fights against workers’ free speech rights, especially if that free speech goes against Musk, their wanna-be God-Emperor.
By linking Tesla protests, sit-ins, occupations, etc. with an organized movement inside Tesla factories, we can stop DOGE! We can shut down their full frontal fascist assault! To do this, we need to help build workers democracy inside the factories and get workers to strike with us.
Forming a workers assembly can act as a starting point to create a union, at Tesla and anywhere else. But its true power comes from empowering workers to make decisions democratically, without the bosses, without the owners.
Like all capitalists, Musk and his minions in management need workers, but workers don’t need them. Workers should democratically control production themselves. They should control all of Tesla and every other workplace. Democratic worker assemblies are how this happens.
That’s what real democracy is all about! To defeat their assault on democracy, we need to expand it everywhere!
Musk makes promises of 401k and higher wages to stop workers from unionizing, but his whole Ponzi scheme is unraveling. Tesla’s new business model is Dark MAGA and that ship is sinking. Those working in Tesla factories will be among the first replaced by robots.
It’s time to strike, occupy, and take over Tesla before Dark MAGA has destroyed it all!
