Musk slams ‘puppetmasters’ after protesters struggle to explain why they call Trump a ‘fascist’ in viral vid

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and a staunch Trump ally, recently took to social media to slam the alleged “puppetmasters” behind the anti-Trump protesters who took to the streets over the weekend. Musk criticized the organizers of the protests, claiming that the protesters themselves were merely pawns in a larger political game.

In a post on X, Musk shared a viral video that showed protesters struggling to explain why they believed President Trump was a “fascist.” The footage, captured by political strategist Ted Goodman in Washington, D.C., showed protesters stumbling over their words when asked to provide evidence of Trump’s alleged fascism.

One protester in the video claimed that Trump was a “convicted felon,” while another mentioned that he was “trying to control the media.” When pressed for more specific examples, the protesters seemed to struggle to articulate their reasons for labeling Trump as a fascist.

Musk pointed out that the protesters appeared to be following a script, as they were unable to provide coherent arguments for their beliefs. He suggested that the real issue lay with the organizers of the protests, who were manipulating and exploiting the participants for their own political agenda.

The video, which garnered over 12 million views on X, highlighted the disconnect between the protesters and the messages they were promoting. Many of the protesters were seen holding signs with slogans denouncing the Trump administration, but when asked to explain their reasoning, they faltered.

The protests over the weekend were part of a larger nationwide movement that saw over 1,200 demonstrations taking place across the country. Critics of the administration gathered to protest a range of issues, including government efficiency, tariffs, federal layoffs, and immigration reform.

The protests come on the heels of similar demonstrations targeting Tesla, the electric car company led by Elon Musk. Critics of Musk have accused him of aligning with the Trump administration and have called for boycotts and protests against Tesla.

In response to the anti-Tesla protests, Musk questioned the motives of the organizers and speculated about who was funding the demonstrations. He suggested that the protests may have been orchestrated by outside forces with ulterior motives.

As the protests continue to unfold, the debate over their authenticity and the motivations behind them rages on. Musk’s criticism of the alleged “puppetmasters” behind the protests highlights the complexities of political activism in an increasingly polarized society.
