Is it possible that you did not fully understand the reasons people were protesting at Tesla dealerships?

Perhaps the protests were less about Twitter than you may be assuming, and more about something else that happened much later than the Twitter acquisition?

They protested un-elected president Musk who will stay in power forever. Then he left his position exactly like communicated from the very start and people now think that they won, even tho they only annoyed tesla dealership employees and tesla owners.

You don’t think it got under Musks skin?

That was the point.

Many things do, mostly people on Twitter seem to get under his skin quite a lot lol.

If the goal was to "trigger" him I don't think the protests succeed in any meaningful way. Innocent Tesla owner where the primary victims followed by share holder, (damaged) property owners and people affected by insurances premiums due to the vandalism.

And then of course there are still a handful of people in jail for crimes committed in relation to the Tesla protest. Arguably not victims but still a negative effects that clear outweigh any perceived positive effect it all had on Musk.

How are Tesla sales doing
