Elon Musk has called the terror attacks against Tesla owners and drivers “psycho” and promised the organizers and funders “will be found and prosecuted.”
Conservative activist Asra Nomani has compiled a list of 24 Democrat organizations with a budget of $124 million that are behind the #TeslaTakedown campaign of terrorist violence.
Most of these groups claim tax-deductible status as “nonpartisan,” even though they are 100% Democrat-aligned—a possible violation of federal law.
“While the local #TeslaTakedown protest may appear spontaneous and community-driven, it is the product of a well-funded, tightly coordinated campaign led by national political organizations like the Indivisible Project, MoveOn.org, and professional protest firms,” Asra Nomani wrote for Fairfax County Times.
Asra Nomani is a former Wall Street Journal reporter and propaganda expert for the Daniel Pearl Project, who has compiled a database of 2,000 so-called “Non”-Governmental Organizations and Democrat activist groups.
Nomani attended #TeslaTakedown protests in Virginia where she recognized “familiar faces” from Indivisible and the Fairfax County Democratic Party.
She scraped the protest details from ActionNetwork and Mobilize, two platforms promoting the #TeslaTakedown protests aligned with the Democrat Party, and “built a public database of the groups behind the Tesla protest,” Nomani writes.
Her research revealed a “multi-million dollar professional protest industry” that “manufactures outrage in top-down political theater, agitprop, or agitation propaganda, and now criminal offenses,” she wrote on X.
