Soros Millions Fund Anti-Musk Campaign
Liberal billionaire George Soros has funneled $7.6 million to one of five organizations accused of targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla with coordinated protests and vandalism. The financial connection was revealed as Tesla properties faced increasing acts of violence and destruction across the country.
Musk himself identified the culprits in a social media post, stating: “An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.” The tech mogul’s accusations point to a coordinated leftist campaign against his business empire.
The Indivisible Project emerged as a primary recipient of Soros money, having taken in millions through his Open Society Foundations. This group coordinates with other radical left-wing organizations to protest against Musk and his companies. It raises substantial funds through affiliated political action committees.
Organized Attacks Against Tesla
Tesla properties have suffered various forms of vandalism, including arson, graffiti, and other destructive acts with clear political motivations. The attacks appear to be strategically planned across multiple locations. Donald Trump said the thugs will “go through hell” and be labeled domestic terrorists.
The Disruption Project is another organization implicated in the anti-Tesla campaign. It provides protest training and promotes a “Tesla Takedown” initiative. Their connection to Action Network, a leftist digital organizing platform, also suggests widespread coordination.
Additionally, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), with its sizeable membership base, has allied with the Indivisible Project to organize protests against Tesla.
Congressional Investigation Launched
House Speaker Mike Johnson has initiated a congressional investigation into the attacks, involving both the Department of Justice and FBI. Johnson expressed his support for Musk, stating: “The heroic work of @elonmusk has so panicked the radical Left that they’re now calling him ‘racist'(?!) and engaging in domestic terrorism to attack Tesla owners and their vehicles!”
The Open Society Foundations attempted to distance itself from the actions of its funded groups, claiming: “We do not direct, coordinate, or dictate the strategies or activities of the organizations we support.”
Rise & Resist and Troublemakers, two other organizations identified by Musk, actively participate in “Tesla Takedown” events while citing environmental concern as justification. Despite reported financial difficulties, these groups continue their campaign against Tesla, raising questions about their ongoing sources of funding.
