I'm an ocean lifeguard. Anyone in the L.A. area have an event that would enjoyone of our iconic red trucks, a couple of lifeguards, a booth, and a few hours of us explaining junior guards, beach safety, and how to become a full-fledged ocean lifeguard for the best agency in the world? Let me know!

Great protest at the Tesla dealer today! Bigger turnout and more consistent honks of support from passerby. On the way back I saw a dickhead woman with a Cybertruck parked in front of a hydrant, getting a ticket, and she was yelling at the meter maid, but everyone was cheering and it was delicious

Sell your Tesla! I attended a protest last week and will go again tomorrow and I like yelling this at people driving them. I also have been flyering them when I spot one parked in my hood and it feels so good

9. The entire myth of Musk’s genius and power is predicated on his “net worth” — which is NOT a net worth. It’s just a perception of the value of his companies. The cars already suck. Change the perception of Tesla and his market cap tanks—and eventually his “genius” and aura and power tank too.

If you’re a rich liberal who hates Elon Musk but still drive a Tesla: what are you doing? You can afford to sell at a loss and get another car. Take a fucking stand here, no matter how much you like the car.
