Keep calm, everyone. Non-violent actions scare the wealthy and threaten their financial worth. And the wealthy know it.
Thousands protest outside Tesla dealerships during global day of action (Truthout)
***
People were out protesting at Tesla dealerships all across the world yesterday, March 29th. Beautiful thing. #TeslaTakedown is an ongoing effort and I hope it succeeds.
I hope the world figures out how to destroy Elon Musk’s net worth and bring down his financial house of bullshit cards with a thundering roar.
You know…looking again at what I just wrote, money can’t really “roar” and definitely not in “thundering” ways—not in those dramatic types of ways that the good ole boys at Project 2025 boast about, anyway. At the end of the day, it’s just paper and numbers entered into some kind of ledger somewhere, the entirety of it backed up by people’s good faith.
Unfortunately, one of our monetary system’s inherent flaws stems from that good faith. Nefarious, self-serving interests can exploit the masses’ set of expectations and twist a collective desire for a civil society so this desire serves a narrow agenda that does not take into account the well-being of the population at large.
But then again, that’s the joy of being white, amirite?
World: the USA at the end of March, 2025 feels like a Reichstag Fire and a Fyre Festival had a kid. The Titan sub crash, the ’80s T&A flick Porky’s, the Powell Manifesto, and Kyle Rittenhouse are a mix of metaphors. Yeah, I don’t get it, either.
We trickle-down-economics-loving humans inject money with all sorts of attributes that are not inherent, pretend that money provides some kind of superpower to a privileged few who know how to wield it. We let ourselves assume that those who hoard money do so because they have everyone’s best interests in mind when the reality is the exact opposite and, deep down, every single one of us knows this fact.
Hey, Elon Musk got nicknamed “Phony Stark” for a reason.
As all of this eventually stabilizes and the good trouble team wins out, I hope Apartheid Clyde remains physically unscathed, but ends up financially destroyed. To express it in financial terms, I hope he gets burned. His Nazi salutes are 100% sincere, in that cheeky-dudebro, joking kind of way.
Don’t burn his cars, America. Burn his money instead.
And if he’s working for Putin, like some people believe, jail him.

I write fiction and have two dark comedies available, Fearkiller (Volume 1) and Notes from Trillionaire Island: Fearkiller (Volume 2), as well as Revolutionizer Alpha, the first book in a sci-fi series. I also wrote a story about God. It was weird, but then I decided to make the story and its sequel free. And all of the sudden, it didn’t seem as weird. Writing about God is much less weird when you write about God without charging money for it. Here’s my professional site, my trade. Follow me on Medium.
