Elon Musk Claims Conspiracy Behind Tesla Protests, Evidence Lacking

President Trump expressed his support for Elon Musk amid plummeting Tesla sales and increasing protests against the company, announcing his intent to purchase a new Tesla. Musk, who has faced backlash for his controversial government role and budget cuts, claimed that protests against Tesla are funded by Democratic groups through ActBlue, although reports indicate there is no evidence supporting his allegations. Critics argue that the decline in Tesla's sales and stock prices is directly linked to Musk's political actions and public persona, which have made the brand less appealing. Protests, including vandalism at Tesla properties, have been organized under the banner 'Tesla Takedown,' calling for boycotts of the brand. While Musk blames external factors for the protests, many believe that his own decisions and behavior are the primary causes of Tesla's current turmoil. As the situation evolves, Musk's popularity remains low among the general public, complicating his response to the backlash.
