Elon and the Tesla backlash

Front Burner

About this episode

Across the world an anti-Tesla campaign has been growing since Elon Musk began his work dismantling U.S. government institutions, and meddling in other country’s democracies. 


The protests, dubbed “Trash Tesla,” are seeing regular folks and former customers selling their cars, dumping stock and picketing dealerships. Others are torching Tesla vehicles.


As a result the U.S. attorney general says they’re looking into the incidents as potential domestic terrorism.


Today on the show, Wired writer Carlton Reid is joining us to talk about his reporting on the Tesla backlash.
