Musk posted, for example, a TikTok of a man showing off the design and features of a Tesla Model Y.

Unsurprisingly, Musk has disparaged Tesla Takedown as something astroturfed by wealthy liberals (and conflated the peaceful movement with attacks in which suspected arsonists threw Molotov cocktails at dealerships).

Responding to a post about how actress Alyssa Milano had traded in her Tesla for an electric vehicle from VW, Musk wrote, “Alyssa Milano loves Hitler.”

Where it came to positive content about Tesla, it appears that no X account is too obscure for Musk to boost.

“All the protests and stories of vandalism to @Tesla service centers and harassment of Tesla owners is insane!”

An accompanying image showed the Tesla logo and the slogan “Stand With Tesla.”

Musk reposted it to his massive audience, but the sentiment didn’t prevent him from losing $23 billion the following day. »
