Today at a #teslatakedown counterprotest in Meridian, Idaho, David Pettinger, a far right conspiracy theorist and attempted media personality, came to defend the Tesla dealership while dressed as Hitler.
@BASH
That's so funny 'cause it visually reads like he's protesting Elon.
@katrinakatrinka yeah, it's weird! The shirt is an Old State Saloon Elon Musk shirt. The Tesla defense was put on by Old State Saloon. He's with the pro-Tesla people!
@BASH
The thing is, people standing around Tesla dealerships...
I mean, Tesla protesters, cops, Tesla supporters, they all send the same message:
If you buy this very expensive asset, it will be a target.
Very few people want to pay for the "privilege" of anticipating having to deal with that in their day-to-day lives. So, they're not going to buy.
@BASH This is funny as hell. If he hadn't showed up, it would have been worth faking this with a visit to a costume shop. He worked for us without realizing he was doing so
@LukefromDC totally, it's for a bit they were doing. I think they feel like whatever joke they try to make from it will be funnier than the damage it does to Tesla but I'm not so sure there's a way to pull that off.
@BASH
So if Elon's gesture wasn't a Nazi salute, why do all the Nazis think it was?
@BASH ewww. Seriously. That's gross.
@BASH He'll have a great story to tell at Elder's Quorum tomorrow...
Fucking Meridian.
@BASH Umm????
