Liberals across the country are occupying Tesla dealerships, vandalizing Teslas, buying them only to destroy them, boycotting the company, and flooding social media with their hate for Elon Musk. Ironically, their relentless attacks on Tesla are undermining their own push for electric vehicles. In fact, they now seem to be expending more energy hating Elon Musk than advocating for their so-called climate crisis.
An AI analysis of mainstream media headlines and online discussion forums reveals a sharp decline in climate crisis discussions and coverage, accompanied by a significant surge in anti-Elon Musk rhetoric.
In the first quarter of 2025, backlash against Elon Musk intensified, largely due to his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump. This discontent has fueled the nationwide “TeslaTakedown” movement, which encourages Tesla owners to sell their vehicles and investors to divest from the company’s stock in an effort to weaken Musk’s political influence.
Protests have erupted across multiple cities, targeting Tesla dealerships. On March 16, 2025, demonstrators gathered outside the Houston-Westchase Tesla dealership, expressing their opposition to Musk’s political involvement.
In Chicago, protesters held signs with slogans like “Make mine a Tesla Model NEIN!” and “Ugly a– Nazi car,” reflecting their dissatisfaction with his stance.
Meanwhile, in Delray Beach, Florida, activists braved activated sprinklers outside a Tesla dealership, carrying signs that read, “Get out of DOGE on your Tesla” and “Elon, who elected you?”
As the movement gains momentum, its supporters stay focused on financially undermining Musk and his enterprises, forgetting their previously strong commitment to the climate hoax.
A Google search analysis as of March 17, 2025, highlights a shift in public and media focus. This year, searches for “Elon Musk” reached approximately 28 million results, surpassing “Climate Crisis”, which had 25 million results.
A review of major media outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post further illustrates this shift. In early 2024, both publications prioritized climate-related topics, with extensive coverage of international climate agreements, environmental policies, and global warming. Mentions of Elon Musk were mostly tied to his business ventures, such as Tesla and SpaceX. However, as 2025 progressed, media attention increasingly centered on Musk, particularly regarding his political involvement, marking a notable change in editorial priorities.
By early 2025, however, media attention on Musk increased significantly, particularly regarding his political engagements and influence on government policies. The New York Times published editorials scrutinizing his role in government efficiency initiatives, while The Washington Post detailed his substantial political donations and growing influence within the Trump administration.
An AI analysis of online discussion forums and social media platforms similarly reveals a significant shift from promoting electric vehicles (EVs) to criticizing Elon Musk. This trend is evident across various platforms, including social media, forums, and news outlets, where discussions that once centered on EV adoption and climate advocacy are now increasingly focused on Musk’s political affiliations and their perceived impact on environmental policies.
Engagement in EV-related discussions has declined noticeably. On platforms like Reddit’s r/electricvehicles, users report lower participation compared to previous months, reflecting waning interest or a shift in focus.
Environmental organizations and advocacy groups have also redirected their attention toward Musk. Over 100 groups, including Greenpeace, have announced their departure from Musk-owned platforms. This shift is further reflected in broader platform migration trends—following Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X), nearly half of environmentally oriented users stopped using the platform.
The pattern among those leaving Twitter follows a familiar cycle—they first post on Twitter detailing their hatred for Musk and why they are leaving, and then, after settling on a new platform, they repeat the same message about leaving Twitter and their disdain for Musk. Ironically, those who hate Musk seem to talk about him the most.
A sentiment analysis of georeferenced tweets found that positive tweets about Musk have dropped to just 24.4%, meaning over 75% of all mentions are negative. In other words, those who despise him are discussing him three times more than his supporters. And of course, while they are writing about how much they hate Musk, they are neglecting to lose their head about a small increase in temperature, thousands of miles away.
Environmental forums and social media spaces that once focused on climate discussions are now increasingly directing their energy toward criticizing Elon Musk, marking a shift in priorities among environmental advocates. While conversations about climate change and green initiatives continue, there is a clear trend of Musk bashing.
It seems Musk has made liberals so mad that they’re backing off electric cars.
Now, we just need a solar manufacturer to do something that enrages them, and next, a recycling guy—maybe if they believed the inventor of the paper straw was a Nazi, they’d finally drop that one. Or if the creator of paper bags came out in favor of auditing government departments for waste, we might just get to use plastic again.
