JenniferThe Tesla protests are working. I'm going to one Saturday if there aren't tornados. Gift article. Yesterday’s White House stunt had all the hallmarks of Trump corruption, but there was something else, too—an air of desperation. It was a tacit admission that the protests are working and that Musk and Trump are rattled enough by current sentiment that they’re willing to turn the South Lawn into a showroom. Watching Musk clam up on Fox Business or quietly idle next to Trump in front of the White House, it’s even easier than normal to see past Musk’s trademark bullshitting and bluster. These moments make clear that this time, Musk has wagered the only thing he can’t easily buy back—the very myth he created for himself. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coup</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/TeslaTakedown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeslaTakedown</a> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/elon-musk-human-meme-stock/682023/?gift=paXrzEeXszI291OZnrY90lhbWOFaig_fnMxjwW5lPjY&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/elon-musk-human-meme-stock/682023/?gift=paXrzEeXszI291OZnrY90lhbWOFaig_fnMxjwW5lPjY&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share</a>
