Activists known as the Troublemakers recently gathered in Seattle to listen to Tesla's earnings call, marking a unique publicity tactic for climate advocacy. Emily Johnston, a leader in the group, noted the campaign’s increasing attention and impact against Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk. During the call, Musk referenced the protests, asserting they were organized and funded, suggesting the demonstrators were motivated by past government support. This confrontation highlights the growing activism around climate issues and the scrutiny facing business practices linked to environmental concerns.
Now, the protests you'll see out there, they're very organized, they're paid for. [...] they had once received 'wasteful largesse' from the federal government.
This whole campaign has been just a magnet for attention,
It's an unlikely coalition that's been hyping Tesla's stock slide since its launch.
In more than a decade of climate organizing, it was the first time Emily Johnston, one of the group's leaders, had attended a happy hour to listen to a company's quarterly earnings call.
