Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, March 09, 2025

Elon Musk, the cost-cutting billionaire in the Trump administration, has accused Democratic donors George Soros, Reid Hoffman and others of funding protests against his electric car company Tesla. In a post on X, the Tesla CEO claimed that an investigation has identified five groups, purportedly funded through ActBlue - a major Democratic fundraising platform - as orchestrators of these demonstrations. ActBlue, founded in 2004, is a key fundraising tool for Democratic candidates and causes. The protests against Tesla have intensified over the past weeks. Demonstrations have occurred at over 50 Tesla locations across the United States with slogans like "We need clean air, not another billionaire" and "Elon Musk has got to go."

Musk can't wrap his head around the idea that he is genuinely unpopular, much less hated.

An online petition calling on the Canadian government to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship is on track to become one of the most popular in the history of the House of Commons. The worst person in the world is also the most reviled miscreant on the planet.

An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla "protests": Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.

ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.

Aren't a couple of the people Musk lists dead?

Musk is blaming "Herbert Sandler," among others, for secretly financing the protests and Tesla dealerships over the last few weeks.

Sandler died in 2019.

I'll also note that ActBlue operates as a payment processor. None of these people have really funded ActBlue, although they have supported organizations that use ActBlue.

Patricia Bauman is also dead

That was exactly my thought and with that reference: Musk sees dead people eveywhere--on the Social Security rolls and behind the people protesting against him.

Elon Musk is a potato head. Absolute moron.

Oh, I can assure you, Mr. Musk, there are many millions of us who don't need one red cent to drive the disgust we hold for you.

I'm not saying the vandalism is acceptable, especially for Tesla owners who bought before learning what a horrible person you are, but it's still less repugnant than your warped and deeply dishonest soul.
