Everyone has an explanation for the Tesla protests and violence, but it seems few people have it right. This has nothing to do with Elon Musk or Tesla.
This is a confrontation over the future of government in the United States of America.
There are more than 1 million NGOs operating in the United States, and most were set up to receive donations from foundations, corporations, or the federal government. These funding sources have a common purpose: to grow the federal government and fulfill the aspirations of the Democrat Party and a Marxist state.
Once one understands the nefarious purpose of the typical NGO, the purpose of the Tesla protest is obvious. Electric cars, environmental control of hydrocarbon energy, the preposterous climate change campaign and its “existential threat” to the nation goes away like the light when you flip the switch.
The devotees of climate change were all Musk fans until he suggested the federal government was overweight and he aligned himself with Donald Trump.
Instantly, these people became a raging rent-a-mob who depend upon government checks, do not hold a 9-to-5 job and are only motivated by the threats from Marxist politicians that their entitlement benefits are threatened.
Elon Musk could have discovered a cure for cancers, or rescued our stranded astronauts, and it is of no consequence if he tries to shave one thin dime off the federal government. The link to these NGO operators is political. An NGO executive is a six-figure advocate for a government cause. In government, he is employed in federal agency management. Out of government, he is available to testify before Congress, issue press releases and advocate for more government, bigger government and more powerful government. He earns six figures without breaking a sweat. He makes nothing, but is expensive to maintain.
The abuse is not just focused on domestic issues. Dozens of “strategic studies” and global institutes operate slick websites and employ public relations experts to advocate for the United States military to protect the world, while manipulating nations and national governments to do some really dumb things.
If Elon Musk advocated for a guaranteed annual income of $50,000 for every American adult, in or out of jail, would Tesla be the target of all this angst? For years Democrats, as part of every national political campaign, claimed the Republicans wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare. To hell with truth and logic, just get AARP to scare the elderly into voting Democrat. Barack Obama abandoned the elderly, opting to go racist and sexist. But the formula did not change. That is precisely the tactic being used against Elon Musk. Tesla is included in the fray because it is the way to hurt Musk. Inadvertently, the left is saying to hell with climate change. We want bigger government. As an aside, it also is rejecting the idea of laws that govern our behavior.
This is another “day of outrage” by the outrageous, a revolutionary movement seeking to grow the federal government into a monster where all decisions are collective, where all decisions are made by the government. If you doubt that, try and build a home in California. Elon Musk is destroying the myth of a benevolent federal government, and the bureaucrats will have none of it.
There is one simple solution that would restore freedom and order in America. Restore individualism by freeing people from the burdens of the welfare state and re-emphasize Christian morality and beliefs.
