You don’t have to “sign up”. You can just scroll down a bit to the “Find A Protest Now” button, or click the direct link I provided above.
ETA, you don’t even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.
I highly recommend not visiting this website, but if you absolutely should please use Tor. The log collection policy of this website is unknown and god forbid somehow the logs are obtained it could be used against you.
The admin running the site is blocking access from Tor.
Error: Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.
Edit: I just sent them an email to the address on their WhoIs registration asking them to allow Tor. Email is 8hugsrrg2j7xebd@proxy.dreamhost.com, I encourage you to do the same.
Or this is all a honeypot and we’re all fucked. Yippee!
This is good advice. Thoth here’s a thought. Most people around here know about tor and VPNs and http proxies and whatever else. And even without that probably in general leave a more anonymous footprint on the web. I’m betting there are millions of “normies” visiting that site from their phones following FB or X (lol) or IG or TikTok links. (Which would be the same phones they will have on them when they attend one of these protests. ) But I’m betting there’s millions of visitors. Trump can’t even deport millions of people, much as he’d like to claim. If they start arresting millions for visiting a website (not that they’d have anywhere to put them) that would certainly have people rioting in the streets.
And then the paramilitary rounds up the rioters and they get locked in concentration camps too.
Everyone should always be using Tor for any activism.
We had one here in my small suburb town a couple of days ago. I was surprised, and pleased to see it. There were only about 50 people, but there was 50 people.
I wonder how many people are shorting Tesla 🤔
YSK - You can find a Tesla protest near you by making a sign and looking for the closest Tesla Service Center/Dealer…
I don’t need a clever sign but I want one. How do I work in a “musky odor” pun
There’s a million things you could do with that. The musk of kleptocracy? I dunno.
Or you could do a bunch of other Elon refences - Don’t buy from klepto-guy, gimme a Model FU, Elon owes a horse by now, etc.
Sick! There is one less than 10 minutes away from me on Saturday!!! Im happy about this.
Lmao, there likely isn’t a Tesla dealership within 5 hrs of me.
You can check at the site

Elongated Muskrat is currently sabotaging democracy. This is one of the few ways we can deliver consequences for his actions.
Isn’t boycotting Tesla illegal?
Edit: no one here keeps up with the news haha
LOL, wut? Where on earth did you get that idea? It’ll be illegal if the fascists get their way and take over, but we’re not there yet. This is one way we can help to stop that from happening.
It’s something trump said.
Ah ha. Thanks. That definitely needed a /s in this context.
Haha so rather than check out what your president says you just flame whoever informs you. Thanks for this 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There was nothing about your comment indicating it was something Trump said. He says a thousand dumbass things every day. Nobody can keep track of it all. You shouldn’t expect everyone to have had all the same experiences you’ve had. A comment like that really requires a /s to signal that you’re not being serious.

It’s genuinely not my problem if you aren’t able to discern reality from sarcasm. Take personal responsibility for your own mistakes. Telling other people off because you made a mistake just makes you look silly. I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are.

See, that doesn’t need a /s. Sometimes sarcasm is obvious in written form. Sometimes it’s not.
You mean Tesler?
You’re very right. My bad. I got confused because everything was computer.

You are thinking far to linearly. Think of this as a guerilla tactics to take advantage of media focus and what would happen if Musk crashed out.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Not all of us have the means to overthrow a government. We do have the means to make buying a Tesla as embarrassing and as difficult as possible.
If you want to help fund a government overthrow, I suggest that you work with the embassy for your country in the US to help make that change.

Feel free to organize your own superior plan. I look forward to contributing to whatever effective measures you have in mind.
We obviously know it’s broken. The far right has control of every branch of the government, tell us how new laws are passed when there are no checks and balances?
And yes, before its stated, i know a lot of blame is on the left who didn’t codify shit when they had the chance, that’s the past, that doesn’t help us now.
Clearly you have better ideas of what we can do. That’s awesome! Get out there and start organizing people to implement your superior plan! 💪
Tesla is sort of a public-facing proxy for Musk’s wealth, and is becoming a lightning rod.
It’s not so much about practicality, but desperation and an opportunity to send a message.
Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don’t generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.
He’s also desperate now that Tesla is losing massive amount of its value too
Yup. If Tesla goes down, he won’t be able to take out loans as easily anymore and might need to sell assets for liquid cash.

You’re still not talking about your better idea. We’re all ears. Don’t hold back. What do you think we should do instead?

These are not things individuals can do this weekend. These all require the actions of the politicians that are owned by the billionaires that don’t want these changes. What are your great ideas that individual citizens can implement right now?
Ah yes! Get idea! Just completely change the system! Why didn’t WE think of that!
Good show! I’ll call everyone today and tell them that these protests are completely stupid and we have a better idea now
At the very least, it has to slightly annoy him. But likely also has a psychological effect. Will it make him suddenly decide not to be an asshole? Probably not. But it may spin him further out of control, to where he starts making even stupider decisions until he finally fucks with the wrong people or the wrong stuff and then really finds out.
It’s better than doing nothing. It can reduce his influence as he won’t have as much wealth available to buy politicians.
Whats your plan? Sit and complain that people are desperate on Lemmy? How does that help?

The problem is we are all choosing to do things with our time that aren’t perfectly efficient. These comments aren’t going to change anything, yet we’re still making them. Actions being perfect is not the goal. Actions that get people motivated is.
I wouldn’t usually go and tell you that you’re not doing anything useful by commenting, but since that’s what you’re doing I think it’s important. Either stop dismissing people taking these actions or recognize that you’re wasting your time too. Stop implying that they should stop. They’re doing far more than you or I are right now.
deleted by creator
No, I meant you’re wasting your time posting on Lemmy in general. We aren’t going to accomplish anything posting on here. Just as we’re wasting our time, they may be also. They’re doing a lot more than we are.
His other companies aren’t valued as highly.
The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn’t public so we don’t actually know if it makes money or it’s as shitty as all his other companies.
Without Tesla he’ll have real trouble getting loans… or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he’s not self-made and relies on free money from the government.
deleted by creator
Maybe you missed mine.
Musk is the First Buddy and the “richest” man on Earth. Trump basically has him running the government with his doggy department.
If Tesla goes down, he might go down with it. Trump would drop him in an instant - “sorry honey, you’re no longer HOT!” That doesn’t abolish all billionaires, obviously, but it solves an acutely troublesome one.

You’re awfully combative for someone “just asking a question”.
