Rick Wilson banned from X for sharing provocative slogan

A controversial slogan, "Kill Tesla, Save The Country," has gained attention during protests against Elon Musk's Tesla company. Political consultant Rick Wilson claims he was banned from the platform X for 30 days after posting this slogan. He argues that the backlash from pro-Trump and pro-Musk users was an overreaction, as they failed to read the full context provided in a Substack link he shared. Wilson's ban has sparked discussions online, with many users sharing their thoughts on the slogan. Some support it as a statement against Tesla, while others criticize its logic. Posts on social media ranged from strong support of Wilson's view to sharp dismissals, describing the slogan as misguided or an incitement to violence. The phrase has become a rallying cry for critics of Musk. It reflects growing discontent with Tesla’s influence in politics, particularly during the Trump administration. Activists have taken to organizing protests at Tesla showrooms as part of the "Tesla Takedown" movement. Recently, charges of arson were brought against three protestors linked to these events. In response to the protests, Musk has labeled them as "deranged," suggesting they demonstrate a level of aggression from the left that surprised him. He emphasized that Tesla is a peaceful company and has always focused on positive contributions, while condemning the violent actions of the protestors.
