Actor John Cusack made unhinged remarks about tech CEO Elon Musk during a recent a #TeslaTakedown Mass Mobilizing Call.
During the call, the 58-year-old “Grosse Pointe Blank” actor went on a tirade against Musk, leveling a series of insane accusations and wild insults.
“These are unprecedented times of mass criminality,” Cusack claimed. “Like Trump, Musk is a pathological liar. He’s a criminal. He’s a sociopath and a ghoul.”
“I mean those terms very precisely because who else would use his own child as a sympathy prop while literally taking starving aid from people all over the world?” He dramatically questioned.
Actor & Blue Anon spox @johncusack says @elonmusk twice made a “Sieg Heil Nazi salute” & is literally killing people by helping cut govt spending.
He says by accessing Treasury Dept. “metadata,” Musk knows everything people like Cusack are searching for on the internet.

“He’s literally killing people. People are going to die because of this madness,” the aging celebrity added. “He’s a man who threw 80,000 people out of the VA indiscriminately.”
Cusack also painted a grim picture of the political landscape, telling listeners on the call that the United States is increasingly becoming an “oligarchic country that’s fascist and becoming more fascist every day. And that means people are going to die. And it’s going to get as ugly as we can think.”
The “Tesla Takedown” movement has been growing in recent months, as activists target the company as part of a larger campaign against Musk.
“Honk if you hate Elon Musk!”
A new campaign group – #TeslaTakedown – are protesting outside Tesla showrooms around the world today
They’re calling on people to sell their Teslas, dump their stock, & join the protest⁰

The movement has been linked to numerous acts of vandalism, including damage to individual Tesla vehicles and Tesla showrooms, even though its organizers insist they are engaging in “peaceful protest.”
The group’s website calls on activists to disrupt Tesla business operations, urging participants to “take action at Tesla showrooms everywhere.”
The website also encourages Tesla owners to part ways with their vehicles and stock, stating, “Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy.”
“The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us — not politicians, not the media,” the website adds.

The movement accuses Musk of orchestrating an “illegal coup” and claims he is using his wealth to “destroy our democracy.”
The group’s website has designated March 29 as a “global day of action,” with demonstrations scheduled across multiple countries, including the United States.
Although organizers insist that their protests are nonviolent, incidents of property destruction and targeted attacks against Tesla continue to surface.
In one particularly alarming case, a man in Las Vegas was arrested after allegedly setting multiple Tesla vehicles on fire with Molotov cocktails before firing gunshots at the burning cars.
Authorities charged 36-year-old Paul Hyon Kim with 15 counts, including arson and destruction of property exceeding $5,000.
Video footage captured the moment when a row of Tesla vehicles went up in flames at a dealership, and investigators also discovered that the word “resist” had been spray-painted on the building’s door.
Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren commented on the case, saying, “This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility. We do believe that it is isolated at this time.”
Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans issued a warning against such actions, stating, “There’s nothing courageous about firebombing and terrorizing your local community. At the end of the day, you and you alone will face the prison sentence.”
Another disturbing incident occurred in Texas, where a man deliberately rammed an ATV into a Tesla and went on to damage two additional vehicles in an insane rampage.
A heavyset man in Texarkana, Texas was arrested on March 25 after allegedly starting a Tesla vandalism spree using a mini four-wheeler outside an all-you-can-eat buffet.

According to the Texarkana Police Department, surveillance footage captured 33-year-old Demarqeyun Cox intentionally driving an ATV at full speed into a Tesla outside of a restaurant.
Authorities later linked him to additional acts of Tesla vandalism, including incidents at a Lowe’s parking lot and a Genesis Prime Care location.
When police apprehended Cox, he initially provided a false name. Officers later discovered that he had scratched the word “Elon” into at least two vehicles.
Cox was charged with felony criminal mischief and failure to identify, with additional charges pending. His bond was set at $105,000 at the Bi-State Justice Center Jail in Texarkana.
While anti-Tesla activists escalate their campaign, Tesla remains at the forefront of technological advancement.
On Wednesday, the company showcased its humanoid robots at an event on Capitol Hill that highlighted key American manufacturers leading in robotics.
The two Tesla Optimus robots drew significant attention, captivating onlookers as they performed various gestures, including a Richard Nixon-like pose with two fingers raised on each hand.

Representative Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., praised Tesla’s contributions to robotics and innovation, saying, “The Tesla robots could have unbelievable applications. Maybe in agriculture — a lot of our farmers are going out of business, can’t compete labor-wise, right?”
“You get a couple of robots that can actually do very detailed farm work and drive the labor costs down, we’ll save the American farmer,” he added.
Gimenez also criticized Democrats for their attacks on Musk and Tesla, remarking that their opposition has reached an extreme level.
“Some people have taken things to an extreme,” he said. “There is no need for putting down something that is advancing American technology and is going to be beneficial for America.”
