Watch: NYC 'Takedown' Protesters Flaunt Disturbing Signs About Violence to Teslas

Leftists were engaging in "Tesla Takedown" protests across the country on Saturday.

One of the biggest ones was in New York City, where they had a march to the Tesla showroom location. This is kind of funny; if you check the signs, it looks like they pulled them out of the warehouse from prior protests from AIDS to abortion. They did have a "Death by 1000 Musk Cuts" sign, though.

Warning for graphic language in videos:

NYC- Hundreds of masked protesters holding a “Death by 1000 Musk Cuts” sign are currently marching toward a Tesla showroom in New York City.

The folks at these protests keep repeating versions of the old leftist chants I've heard for decades from whoever they're currently mad at who "has got to go!" to "This is what democracy looks like." They can't even come up with new material, they just recycle from every other leftist protest.

No, democracy -- as in the vote of the people -- spoke in November and it "looks like" the American people voted to have President Donald Trump with Elon Musk to help clean up the fraud and waste throughout the government.

They got to the Tesla location and there were police out front to protect the building.

They had a sign saying "Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy," as well as other reported placards with burning the EVs. They also accused the Tesla owners of driving "Swasticars." This sure looks like encouraging violence to me. Paging the FBI.

Of course, none of the people engaging in terrorism against Tesla are "saving democracy." First, "democracy" isn't in danger from Tesla or Elon Musk. Second, burning a Tesla does absolutely nothing other than prove you are a fool and you are likely to get smacked with some big-time charges. The fact that they envision themselves as the noble people in this equation is the truly deluded thing here.

I guess they forgot about how electric vehicles like Tesla were "saving the planet," and you had to buy them to virtue signal to show you cared.

Do they know that if they damage a Tesla, they're probably giving money to the company because then people have to go get their vehicles repaired? Meanwhile the people who do attack the cars don't seem to care that they're hurting people with these actions who now have to pay for costly fixes, many of whom are probably Democrats.

Another sign was also very concerning that said "Elon keeps asking for 5 bullet points" and has a heart with "Luigi" in it, the name of the man accused of killing the healthcare CEO in Manhattan. They also chanted to "tax the rich" and lay down in the street. One hero takes a few minutes to tell one of them how broken they are.

This was also the protest where those Democratic politicians I wrote about earlier were supposed to attend.

But I don't see any reports of them being there so far.

Elon Musk and DOGE are bringing much-needed accountability to our out-of-control bureaucracy as they take a chainsaw to rampant waste, fraud, and abuse.
