Elon Musk is fingering George Soros, the right's latest version of the Rothschild "Jewish people with money rule the world" conspiracy for the protests against Tesla which have tanked the company's stock.
For the past decade, MAGA has been screaming at any company that supports anything left of reactionary to "stay out of politics." For the past two years, they've gone on a concerted effort at coercion that has resulted in companies dropping DEI initiatives. Musk was right at the forefront of bullying companies into doing this.
So why is Musk upset that people are now targeting Tesla for his shitty politics?
A few years ago, in a pique of rage over masking and social distancing, Musk moved Tesla's headquarters out of California, the state that let him build his businesses and was responsible for most of his success, to Texas, a state which wouldn't even let him sell Teslas in its borders out of fear that mass adoption of electric vehicles would crash Texas's petroleum-dependent economy. He continued to shit all over his biggest customer base on the West Coast and in the Northeast from his new home in Austin while pandering to people who hate electric vehicles. Now he's mad that his customers have had enough. Maybe he should have stayed out of politics?
Make it make sense.
