Shut down the Tesla volcano group! : Stop on power supply
We sabotaged Tesla today. Because Tesla in Grünau eats up earth, resources, people, labor and spits out 6,000 SUVs, killer machines and monster trucks per week. Our gift for March 8th is to shut down Tesla.
Because the complete destruction of the Gigafactory and with it the sawing off of “technofascists” like Elend Musk are a step on the path to liberation from patriarchy.
The Gigafactory has become known for its extreme conditions of exploitation. The factory contaminates the groundwater and uses huge amounts of the already scarce drinking water resource for its products.
Without any scruples, the state of Brandenburg-Berlin is being cut off for Tesla. The critics in the waterworks, the residents, the eco-activists are silenced. Numbers are embellished. Laws bent. deceived people. A large part of the population around Grünheide rejects the Gigafactory because of water theft and gentrification.
The protest and resistance are still unbroken. And it grows, because there are more than one reason. In addition to the dirty battery factory, Tesla now wants to expand its factory site by another 100 hectares, including for a freight station. An expansion of the storage and logistics areas directly at the factory (including the possibility of intensive rail logistics) should help stabilize supply chains and production. This is currently being affected because deliveries from the forced labor camps in China cannot take the direct route through the Red Sea. The Brandenburg Ministry of Economics is eating out of Tesla's hands, despite many reasons for refusing any approval. The only important thing is that Brandenburg is a thriving business location.
Tesla is a symbol of “green capitalism” and a totalitarian technological attack on society. The myth of green growth is just a dirty ideological magic trick to close ranks against criticism domestically. One suggests a way out of the climate catastrophe. But “green capitalism” stands for colonialism, land grabbing and an exacerbation of the climate crisis!
The lithium batteries come from toxic mines in Chile and devour other rare metals, causing misery and destruction for the people in the mining areas. The battery factory in Grünheide near Berlin requires the rare raw material lithium, which is also mined in Bolivia, for example. To enforce lithium mining in Bolivia, Musk puts his cards on the table: “We will stage a coup if we want,” commenting on the indigenous resistance to mining. Mineral resources are being ripped from the earth under brutal conditions. The “green deal” is just the expansion of economic growth without limits. In Portugal, too, the rural population is resisting the forced mining of lithium.
Just as the earth is used and violated every day, Tesla does the same with people. And lets forced laborers all over the world, such as Uyghur people in China, work for themselves (like VW does), which the racist Chinese regime serves the company for its production. Even in Grünheide, the working conditions are considered catastrophic. Just recently, a works council member of IG Metall in Grünheide was dismissed. Despite a yellow works council installed by Tesla, the conditions in the factory are leaked to the outside world. In order to improve accident statistics, people are taken to the hospital by taxi instead of an emergency call and ambulance. Internal opponents will be terminated and if they defend themselves legally, they will be forced into a legal settlement. The compensation then serves as a muzzle, for example by threatening contractual penalties to stifle public discussion of racist dismissal. The sacked person has to keep his mouth shut for the money - that's the calculation.
The totalitarian technological attack then looks like this. A Tesla vehicle is a surveillance device in public spaces. It is equipped with high-resolution cameras from Samsung all around. Samsung is a company that is a leader in weapons technology, among other things. According to the manufacturer, the cameras record up to 250 meters. In “guard mode” they film everything around the vehicle and guarantee that the driver is monitored even while driving. The driver is already a free, integral part of the Telsa universe and a guinea pig. The artificial intelligence will register every movement and every mistake of the driver and monetize it in order to train the autonomous driving software with the data.
Tesla is militarizing the streets. His moving tanks are weapons of war. The car as a weapon. The street the battlefield. Tesla has now released 856 hp instead of 9mm: “If you get into a fight with other cars, you will win,” says Elend Musk.
A Tesla is a status symbol, statement and propaganda at the same time: for contempt for humanity, limitless destruction through “progress” and an imperial, patriarchal way of life.
Anyone who buys an SUV is most likely a supporter of an imperial way of life who wants to benefit from the madness until the bitter end. A scrapped Tesla shouldn't be missing from every activist's secret poetry album. No Tesla in the world should be safe from our flaming rage. Every Tesla that burns sabotages the imperial way of life and effectively destroys the ever-tightening network of seamless, smart surveillance of every expression of human life.
Armies use Tesla's Starlink satellite system in their wars. Like in Ukraine. Russia's army also accesses Starlink satellite terminals from third countries to carry out attacks. Israel also uses the Starlink satellite system for murder in Gaza. Tesla's Starlink infrastructure is a military actor. Rolled up like a pearl necklace made of garbage, they plow through the sky to make the surveillance total.
Let's talk about a man who will turn to dust even if he would rather be immortal: Elend Musk.
For men like him, the swear word that could accurately describe their arrogance, contempt for humanity and anti-social greed for power and recognition has not yet been invented.
He makes no secret of his chauvinism. His propaganda platform X is the means to an end. Here he gathers supporters of an imperial way of life. This is where the anti-Semites, anti-feminists, authoritarians, chauvinists, fascists and supporters of hatred against “foreigners” make sure. Here they organize themselves with their elitist view of the world and as masters. Here the Aryans of the AfD meet their peers.
When Elend Musk cheers the anti-feminist and neoliberal president of Argentina on X, it is because men are forming an alliance. There is no shyness in this regard, they have decided to stand on the side of deadly masculinism and leave a trail of blood behind them, like a man-eating monster.
Elend Musk is the new type of neoliberal and patriarchal, neo-colonial predatory capitalist of this century who uses different means than the exploiters before him in the last century. It is an invasive zeitgeist that uses the self-manufactured economic crises of exploitation to attack the next destruction. He is only following in the prepared brown footsteps of other patriarchal pioneers. The “car manufacturer” Henry Ford was already an admirer of the Nazis with their “Volkswagen” and their efficient organization of industry.
The factory in Wolfsburg was operated on the backs of forced laborers. Every German should be able to get a Volkswagen so that they can either drive a car or a tank on the new highway. Ford, inspired by the efficiency of German work organization, transferred the ideas to his empire in the USA. The attack on the workers and the economization of exploitation also became known as “Fordism”.
This included work organization and assembly line work – mass production with simultaneous mass consumption of cars. The model, also known as Taylorism, was also a class struggle from above. Elend Musk combines the invasive technological possibilities of our time with his mysogynistic worldview, patriarchal extremism and the totalitarian attitude typical of his caste. As a “car manufacturer” he stands as a revenant in historical tradition. In keeping with the times, he acts as a “technofascist”.
