Greene accuses Crockett of 'terrorism' over protest

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has accused Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of 'terrorism' against Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla. This accusation follows a video conference that Crockett participated in, where she called for non-violent protests against Musk and his company on her birthday, March 29. Greene made her claims in a post on social media platform X. She criticized Crockett, saying that the Texas Democrat is 'organizing political violence and terrorism.' The video conference was titled 'Tesla Takedown Mass Call' and featured various activists discussing protests against Musk. In the video, Crockett stated her selfish reason for protesting was linked to her birthday wish to see Musk 'taken down.' The call drew attention not just for Crockett's comments but also for actor John Cusack, who joined the discussion. He expressed strong opposition to Musk, framing it as part of a broader political struggle. Crockett clarified during the call that she was promoting non-violent actions, despite Greene's portrayal of her words. Greene’s remarks have sparked discussions among Republicans, who are rallying against Crockett's planned protests. Protests against Tesla have been increasing, particularly since Musk took an active role in a government initiative under former President Trump. Activists have staged both violent and non-violent protests against Tesla, impacting the company’s reputation and stock price.
