He\u2019s a criminal. He\u2019s a sociopath and a ghoul.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cI mean those terms very precisely because who else would use his own child as a sympathy prop while literally taking starving aid from people all over the world,\u201d he continued. \u201cHe\u2019s literally killing people. People are going to die because of this madness. He\u2019s a man who threw 80,000 people out of the VA indiscriminately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Cusack next told those on the call that we\u2019re in an \u201coligarchic country that\u2019s fascist and becoming more fascist every day. And that means people are going to die. And it\u2019s going to get as ugly as we can think.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Actor &amp; Blue Anon spox <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/johncusack?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@johncusack<\/a> says <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@elonmusk<\/a> twice made a \u201cSieg Heil Nazi salute\u201d &amp; is literally killing people by helping cut govt spending. <\/p>\n<p>He says by accessing Treasury Dept. \u201cmetadata,\u201d Musk knows everything people like Cusack are searching for on the internet. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusk\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pPKh1uEIkP\">pic.twitter.com\/pPKh1uEIkP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1902750491668337130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 20, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The \u201cTesla Takedown\u201d movement has been gaining traction as individuals attack the company as a form of protesting against Musk.

Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher. No one is coming to save us \u2014 not politicians, not the media.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Celebrities and politicians have been publicly denouncing Tesla since the election and have been trading in their vehicles. Meanwhile, President Trump bought a Tesla earlier this month to support the automaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cI\u2019m going to buy, because number one, it\u2019s a great product. As good as it gets. Number two, because this man [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this, and I think he has been treated unfairly,\u201d Trump <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/technology\/5188929-trump-buys-tesla-vehicle-musk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">told<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> reporters outside the White House earlier in March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cI mean, nobody else has a car company started up in the last 30 years that\u2019s been successful, I don\u2019t think so,\u201d Trump told reporters recently. \u201cBut because he\u2019s finding all sorts of terrible things that have taken place against our country, we want to penalize him in an economic sense. And I just think that\u2019s very unfair. So I just wanted to make a statement.
