MUSK ACCUSES DEMOCRATIC DONORS GEORGE SOROS, REID HOFFMAN OF FUNDING TESLA PROTESTS

Mon 10 March 2025:

Elon Musk has accused a handful of Democratic billionaire backers, including George Soros and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, of funding the protests against his electric car company Tesla, claiming they are behind the disruptive demonstrations.

“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” Musk said on X on Saturday.

ActBlue, created in 2004, plays a vital role in Democratic fundraising, generating millions for Vice President Harris’ campaign and related causes.

Musk added: “ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix,” and stated that ActBlue is under investigation for allowing illegal foreign donations.

“This week, seven ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel. If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon,” he said.

The wave of attacks comes as Musk leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, where he has overseen deep reductions to the federal workforce.

Tesla cars have been vandalized and a woman was arrested on Feb. 24 for trying to set fire to a Tesla dealership in the US state of Colorado.

Last week, seven Tesla charging stations were torched in the state of Massachusetts.

Protests against Elon Musk have erupted globally, targeting Tesla showrooms, dealerships, and facilities.

The unrest stems from Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has slashed federal jobs and spending, sparking outrage over economic fallout and perceived overreach by an unelected billionaire.

Demonstrators, chanting slogans like “We need clean air, not another billionaire” and “Nobody voted for Elon Musk,” are upset by his political influence, controversial gestures—like one at Trump’s inauguration some likened to a Nazi salute—and his support for far-right groups in Europe.

Protests have turned violent at times, with vandalism, Molotov cocktails, and arrests reported across the U.S., from New York to California, and abroad in places like Lisbon.

The backlash has hit Tesla hard, with sales dropping as activists urge boycotts, aiming to hurt Musk financially and challenge his growing power.
