Stamford takes part in nationwide protest against Tesla, Elon Musk

> Around 100 people in Stamford peacefully took part in a nationwide #protest against #ElonMusk and his electric car company, Tesla, Sunday near a #Tesla service center on Commerce Road in #Stamford

> “It felt like if there was nothing in the area, then I should just just do it myself,” Barone said. “So, I’m thrilled with the turnout.” ctmirror.org/2025/03/19/stamfo

Protesters hold signs criticizing Elon Musk and his electric car company Tesla at a rally in Stamford on March 16, 2025. The protests are part of a nationwide campaign asking people to sell their Tesla vehicles or stock in the company in response to Musk's role in the federal government, including planned mass firings which have been challenged by court orders and scrutinized by critics. Credit: Eddy Martinez / Connecticut Public

Does the Foreign Emoluments Clause Apply to Elon Musk?

Musk has wide-ranging #business entanglements that could produce emoluments from foreign states.
lawfaremedia.org/article/does-

" #Musk should be bound by an important anti-corruption guardrail... Foreign Emoluments Clause...

Musk’s #Tesla is heavily reliant on #China ...

#SpaceX is actively negotiating... with the #Italian govt, & Musk’s #AI company... received investments from the #UAE & #Qatar ..."

Text from article(edited for length): The Foreign Emoluments Clause creates a broad prohibition on accepting emoluments, which—according to the first judge to interpret the term in a 2018 case against Trump (District of Columbia v. Trump)—include “any profit, gain, or advantage, of more than de minimis value, received by [the President], directly or indirectly” from foreign governments... Like Trump, Musk has wide-ranging business entanglements that could produce emoluments from foreign states. For example, Musk’s Tesla is heavily reliant on China—in recent years, Tesla received a $521 million loan from Chinese-state owned banks and a lower-than-standard corporate tax rate from the Shanghai government. Musk has met with prominent Chinese officials in various business dealings, and analysts have speculated that Musk’s lobbying in Congress was behind the decision to remove hostile provisions to China from a December 2024 bipartisan spending bill. Beyond China, Musk’s company SpaceX is actively negotiating a $1.5 billion deal with the Italian government, and Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has received investments from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the latter of which also helped finance his buyout of X, along with Saudi Arabia. Given this laundry list of foreign dealings, there is clearly the potential for Musk to receive further payments directly or indirectly from foreign governments.

Analysis: A Strike at the Heart of DOGE and Musk...

...With a Surprising Star Witness
davidpepper.substack.com/p/ana

"the surprising star witness...

Musk himself! With assists from #Trump & his press secretary.

It turns out, with their non-stop tweeting & trash-talking about what they’ve been doing... quotes from them turn out to be the best #evidence negating the DOJ’s desperate defense of DOGE’s #unconstitutional actions."

Headline and text from article: Headline: Analysis: A Strike at the Heart of DOGE and Musk... ...With a Surprising Star Witness by David Pepper Mar 19, 2025 Text: While it got attention for rebuffing attacks on U.S. AID, yesterday’s federal court decision did something far broader: it exposed the deep constitutional problems with DOGE, and Musk’s role leading its trail of destruction.

‘It’s a Heist’: Real Federal Auditors Are Horrified by DOGE

> DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like. Both asked to speak on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t permitted to speak to the press.

> “Honestly, comparing real auditing to what #DOGE is doing, there’s no comparison,” says one of the auditors who spoke to WIRED. “None of them are auditors.”

Elon Musk: "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." Feb. 28, 2025

Also #ElonMusk: “I always thought that Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy and caring, and yet they are burning down cars, firebombing dealerships, firing bullets into dealerships, smashing up Teslas.” Mar 18, 2025

I do not support violence as a form of protest, but it's deranged that Musk criticizes the left's empathy at the same time he expects it. The lack of self-awareness is shocking.
