Elon Musk accuses Seattle protest organizer of crimes
Elon Musk has accused Valerie Costa, a Seattle community organizer, of committing crimes related to protests against Tesla. Costa, who co-founded the environmental group Troublemakers, denies any connection to the claims Musk made on social media. Following Musk's accusations, Costa received threatening messages from his supporters, prompting her to take safety precautions. She has sought legal advice and created a safety plan with her roommates. The protests, part of the Tesla Takedown movement, aim to undermine Tesla's value and challenge Musk's influence on government policies. Costa emphasizes the importance of protecting the right to protest amid rising tensions.
