In Elon Musk's Tesla backlash, his EV car company's profits have plunged 72%—and it's no mystery why. As Musk plays co-president with Trump, slashing federal programs and putting thousands out of work, the backlash is hitting his wallet hard.


In this fiery commentary, Bob Gatty breaks down why Americans are fed up with Musk’s ego-driven wrecking ball approach to governance—and why Tesla’s fall from grace is well-deserved. From falling sales and plummeting resale values to grassroots protests and nationwide anger, the electric vehicle icon is getting jolted by reality. It's true Tesla backlash.


Political activist Jennifer Cousins calls Musk a bigger threat to democracy than Trump. And in this episode, we explore what that means, and why so many Americans—even in Trump country—are cheering Tesla’s tumble.


🔥 Protest power is rising. ⚡ The EV movement is shifting. 💥 And we’ve got something to say about it.
