Right-wing group led by Trump propagandist launches campaign against Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX
Fred Lambert - Nov. 22nd 2016

A right-wing propaganda group led by one of Donald Trump’s top propagandists recently launched a campaign called ‘Stop Elon From Failing Again’. According to their manifesto, the initiative aims to stop Elon Musk from “defrauding” American taxpayers through his companies, Tesla and SpaceX.

The effort is backed by conservative public relations specialists and Trump insiders that are funded by fossil fuel interests. Unsurprisingly, it is full of misinformation about Tesla, electric vehicles, and solar energy.

A new group could spend $10 million a year on the campaign.

Wat kost zo'n propagandafilmpje of desinformatiefilmpje tegen Tesla?


Millionaire launches campaign against Tesla in the most counterintuitive way possible
Fred Lambert - Apr. 18th 2017

Tesla has been under attacked before from people and organizations linked to the fossil fuel industry. For example, when an oil executive tried to impersonate CEO Elon Musk to get material information from Tesla or when a group linked to the industry launched the ‘Stop Elon From Failing Again’ campaign.

But for a change, we now learn of an activist environmentalist, or at least someone claiming to be, launching a somewhat similar anti-Tesla campaign.


You might remember the billboard asking Elon Musk to ‘dump Trump’ that showed up near Tesla Factory last month – a reference to Musk’s involvement in Trump’s advisory council, which resulted in a mild backlash from some Tesla fans.

At the time, we didn’t know who was financing the effort, but millionaire venture capitalist Doug Derwin has now confirmed that he is behind the campaign, which he is expanding with a $2 million investment that could go down in history as the most counterintuitive charity donation of all time.

Derwin describes himself as an environmentalist, which seems to be at the core of his dislike of Donald Trump who has been skeptical of global warming and has taken action against environmental protection since taking office.

But Derwin’s dislike of Trump extends to Elon Musk who he wants to see distance himself from the President. Prior to Derwin’s campaign, Musk already responded to critics about his role on the advisory council by saying that he thinks he can have a greater positive impact by actively advising the President than by staying on the sidelines. He wrote in a statement at the time:

“Advisory councils simply provide advice and attending does not mean that I agree with actions by the Administration. My goals are to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy and to help make humanity a multi-planet civilization, a consequence of which will be the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs and a more inspiring future for all. I understand the perspective of those who object to my attending this meeting, but I believe at this time that engaging on critical issues will on balance serve the greater good.”

Here’s where it gets interesting. If we assume that both Derwin and Musk are genuine about their goals, they would seem to agree about Tesla’s mission to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”. They only disagree about the way to do it when it comes to the president. Musk thinks advising Trump could help, while Derwin has no hope in Trump.

The thing is that the worst case scenario with Musk’s involvement with Trump is that he fails to influence him and Trump moves forward with more anti-environment policies, which would have happened anyway.

On the other hand, no matter what, Derwin’s anti-Tesla campaign is having a direct negative impact on Tesla’s mission, which again is supposedly aligned with Derwin’s views: to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

In an interview with Bloomberg, he described his plan:

“It’s just the start. Derwin, 59, is prepared to spend $2 million on Musk-Trump protests. He’s bought $500,000 worth of media, including ads that will run April 23 in the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News, and television ads that will appear during Meet The Press, Morning Joe and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. He’s going to set up information booths on college campuses in a bid to dissuade young engineers from working at Tesla or Space Exploration Technologies Corp., Musk’s rocket company. He’s going to offer to pay people who sent in deposits for the upcoming Tesla Model 3, if they cancel their orders. And he’s going to partner with anti-Trump groups in Silicon Valley to make the Musk attack part of their campaigns.”

Does it sound like someone trying to accelerate the advent of sustainable energy or someone who managed to misdirect his hatred for Trump to negatively affect a cause he cares about? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

This Man Is Spending Millions to Break Elon Musk's Trump Ties

Het is gewoon zijn historiek.

Dat het iets minder goddelijk verloopt dan zijn volgelingen wensen is gewoon een feit.

Zet de pro's en de contras gewoon eens op een rij.

De slechtste manier om geld te verdienen

Tesla zegt dat het vastbesloten is om zijn veiligheidsnormen te verbeteren. ‘Al zijn ongevallen onvermijdelijk, toch stelt Tesla zich ten doel om het aantal van nul ongevallen zo dicht mogelijk te benaderen en de veiligste auto*fabriek ter wereld te worden’, zegt de woordvoerder.

Het is al vaak gebleken dat Musk de neiging heeft om Mars te beloven en niet verder te komen dan de maan. Hij gaf zelf toe dat zijn elektrische-autobedrijf een gok was. In zijn woorden was het uit het niets opbouwen van een autofabriek waarschijnlijk ‘de slechtste manier om geld te verdienen. Echt waar’. Maar hij erkent ook dat ‘raketten misschien nog iets erger zijn’. ‘Op basis van het naar risico gewogen rendement moet een autobedrijf wel het stomste zijn wat je kunt beginnen.’

May 18, 2017
Elon Musk thinks the value of his electric carmaker, Tesla, has gotten out of control.

"I do believe this market cap is higher than we have any right to deserve," Musk was quoted as saying in an interview published in The Guardian on Thursday.



Tesla's (TSLA) stock has soared by more than 40% this year based on investor optimism about prospects for the company's first mass market car, the Model 3.

That's pushed Tesla's market capitalization above $50 billion, meaning the money-losing company is worth more than Ford (F) and General Motors (GM).

Tesla made about 84,000 cars last year, equivalent to just 1% of Ford or GM's annual sales.

Kaufprämie für moderne Diesel?

Seehofer: Alles offen.
Innerhalb der bayerischen Staatsregierung wird über die Forderung nach einer Kaufprämie für moderne Dieselautos diskutiert - aber nur als eine denkbare Maßnahme.

Ministerpräsident Horst Seehofer (CSU) stellte am Samstag klar, dass noch nichts entschieden sei. Nötig sei ein Gesamtkonzept, keine «isolierten Lösungen», sagte er zum Abschluss einer CSU-Klausur in der Oberpfalz.

Der «Spiegel» hatte zuvor berichtet, Seehofer wolle mit einer Kaufprämie den Absatz von Modellen fördern, die mit modernen Euro-6-Motoren ausgestattet sind. Laut einem Plan, der derzeit zwischen Staatskanzlei und Ministerien abgestimmt werde, solle es «starke Anreize zur Flottenerneuerung von Dieselfahrzeugen» geben.
