Elon Musk has called a report of Antifa wanting to set Tesla on fire “worrying”. The CEO of Tesla responded to a Rebel News CTA screenshots report. Andy Ngô, editor-in-chief of ThePost Millennial, shared screenshots of calls to action from the now-suspended Twitter account @AshRedacted. The account posted links to Tesla locations and encouraged followers to add their own.
“Tonight in Portland!” Every city, every village! Show up at your local Tesla dealerships to protest Elon Musk! a screenshot read with a photo of a burning Tesla. Ngô noted that extremists wanted revenge on Elon Musk for suspending their Twitter accounts.
As revenge for @Elon Musk suspend the accounts of violent extremists on Twitter, #Antifa in Portland organize arson against @You’re here pitches tonight.
It’s just a drop in the ocean of years of violent organizing on Twitter. https://t.co/UXTWORonjJ https://t.co/n8B5Z4K08C pic.twitter.com/GrWjwdLqPV

Twitter’s new CEO banned a pro-Palestinian terror group that actively promoted and celebrated violence against Jews. The account, noted Ian Miles Cheong, has been active since 2021.
Cheong added that he hoped more could be done to quell the violence, and Elon Musk agreed that the violence was “not acceptable”. In another answer to Ngô, Elon Musk said: “Incitement to violence will result in account suspension.”
Ngô then asked for advice to report the violations. “I’ve been reporting on specific accounts for years and almost all of them stick. Last year, Antifa used Twitter to order comrades to assault me after I ran into a hotel following a violent beating in the street.
“It is a disturbing and very concerning story that Twitter took no action, despite a clear violation of the ToS. Report in this thread for now“replied the new CEO of Twitter. Following Elon Musk’s invitation to users to report in this thread, several Twitter users shared screenshots, tips and calls to action.
After Ngô reported @Crimethinc as an “Antifa collective” that makes riot guides and texts to radicalize people, that account was later suspended. “They claimed a number of attacks and gave instructions on how to form cells, what riot gear to bring, etc.” Ngo tweeted.

Elon Musk has cracked down on hate speech on Twitter and recently announced that hate speech has dropped by a third from pre-peak levels.
Update:
It has been brought to our attention by Bonnie Norman that a report by Seth Abramson has revealed that neo-Nazis are launching a nationwide campaign to leverage Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter to distort the American left.
Johnna, are you aware that there’s a huge effort going on to convince Elon that the left is attacking him and it looks like he’s falling for it? https://t.co/oHPHGqkClu

In his report, Abramson states that according to a cursory review of the neo-Nazi campaign, what they want Elon Musk to do is rid Twitter of its influential black, Jewish, pro-labor, female and LGBTQIA+ users. as well as the Democratic politicians representing the interests of these groups. Abramson pointed to a list of targeted individuals that includes former US President Barack Obama and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The ACLU, to which Elon Musk is one of the main donors ofwas also on this list.
Disclosure: Johnna is a shareholder of $TSLA and believes in Tesla’s mission.
