Musk Blames Soros, Hoffman for Tesla protests
Citing an investigation Musk pointed fingers at Democratic donors, ActBlue organisation, Democratic Socialists of America and other Democratic-affiliated groups for being behind recent protests against Tesla.
Elon Musk now blames fellow billionaires George Soros, Reid Hoffman and the ActBlue fundraising organisation over recent protests targeting his firm Tesla, citing an “investigation”—though it’s unclear what investigation he’s referencing.
In a post on X today morning, Musk pointed fingers at Democratic donors, including Soros and Hoffman, as well as the ActBlue organisation, Democratic Socialists of America and other Democratic-affiliated groups for being behind recent protests against Tesla.
The post read, "An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla 'protests': Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.
"ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-endrix.
"ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel."
And, at the end of his message, he sought responses from people in the know: "If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon."
Musk’s latest post comes one day after he said, “Something stinks about ActBlue,” in a Ppost on X, which was in response to a user posting about seven ActBlue senior officials resigning at the end of February.
Tesla has been targeted by protesters angry at Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s effort to slash jobs across the federal government. On Saturday, multiple protesters were arrested outside of a New York City Tesla dealership, some of whom chanted: “We need clean air, not another billionaire,” the New York Post reported. Earlier this week, about 350 protesters chanted, “Elon Musk has got to go,” outside of a Tesla dealership in Portland, Oregon.
