The Epic Battle of Musk Versus Alinsky

The appalling attacks on Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and “everything Elon Musk” are perpetrated in a manner intended to make people believe they are spontaneous and organic; an outpouring of righteous indignation by the American people against a dangerous common enemy. But just as with all the recent phony hysterics directed at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, they are nothing of the kind. Instead, they are the latest battlefront of a meticulously orchestrated and coordinated war that is being waged, not only against Musk and President Trump, but ultimately against every decent American who wants our Nation to be honorable, free, solvent, and Great once again. It is crucially important to understand the nature and significance of this attack. In so doing, the onslaught can not only be rebuffed, but eventually dismantled as a strategy.

In like manner with Hegseth, these leftist antics become entirely predictable, once their source is recognized and understood. Better still, a proper response can unmask them and render them thoroughly impotent, thereafter making them a liability to those ultimately behind them. And that’s the surest and quickest way to shut them down. For this to succeed, America needs to become fully acquainted with the dirty tricks and underhanded manipulations of Saul Alinsky, as outlined in his pivotal “Rules for Radicals.” Once leftists are properly discerned as morally debased pawns of an evil strategy, and not the shining paragons of “virtue” seeking to save America, they will lose the vast majority of the leverage they currently wield.

It may seem at times as if our side can only respond in every case by referencing Alinsky. And no doubt leftists will attempt to dismiss and deflect on that basis. However, this actually proves to be the “silver lining” of the situation, because such petty and transparent attacks are really all the left has in its arsenal. Consider, for starters, that Alinsky did not write “Rules for the Majority." He was not telling the people of our Nation how to embrace and advance a well-intentioned and honestly presented agenda that would usher in bliss and utopia. His were the dirty, underhanded tactics of an evil fringe that relies solely on the power of deceit, manipulation and intimidation to advance. Therefore leftists are compelled to revert to venom, lies, and when those don’t persuade, lawlessness and fear, because any honest scrutiny of their real intentions puts them instantly at a huge, often fatal disadvantage.

So, for starters, the phony sanctimony of their rants needs to be objectively considered. The core of their accusations against Musk are that he’s an unelected Nazi/Fascist whose only intent is to ruin and starve the elderly, by slashing their Medicare and Social Security. And on that basis, we are to accept their pronouncements that he is the personification of evil. In truth, by his efforts to identify all the fraud and corruption by which those programs are being robbed of literally billions of dollars annually, and trillions to date, Elon Musk will ultimately do more than anyone else ever has to save those failing programs.

Suddenly, the real reason behind the furor against Musk becomes evident. Working with his characteristic fierce determination to shut down the hemorrhaging from those programs, it is inescapable that the real enemies he has made are the criminally corrupt leaches who will no longer be able to enrich themselves by bleeding government coffers dry. The ranting lefties in the street are merely mindless (and often paid) pawns. Some are programmed mercenaries who reflexively do the bidding of their puppet masters. Those funding the attacks know that any mere millions they might have to expend for their current propaganda blitz pale in comparison to the billions they stand to gain if the despicable status quo can be maintained. It is they who ultimately need to be identified and brought fully to justice. Otherwise, the evil currently being directed at Musk and Tesla owners/dealerships will eventually become the “norm” for how America is “governed,” and how its future is determined.

Yet a brighter tomorrow awaits! Once Real America grasps that the “shaming” and denigration of Tesla owners and dealerships, ugly as it all may be, is merely more of the same from the left, and represents the inevitable outworking of a truly ugly ideology, those targeted by it are exonerated from leftist accusations and condemnation. So despite the current Brownshirt aggression and denigration, Tesla owners have no reason whatsoever to be ashamed. It’s the left that is a total disgrace and embarrassment, and in truth always has been.

At this point, it is most critical that Musk does not attempt in any way to try to prove to leftists that he really isn’t the bad guy they claim he is. That’s a defensive response, which will only serve to “validate” their mendacity and energize them. Rather, he must relentlessly continue to call out the scams he’s uncovering, and spotlight the fact that their anger is directed at what they will lose if he succeeds. No less significant is the fact that every dollar they hope to steal comes from the pockets of the American taxpayer. For this reason, it is imperative that his message be delivered not to the leftists, but to the American people. In this manner he can and must make leftists and their tantrums the topic of discussion, not any of the particulars of their lies and hypocrisy.

The situation is far from hopeless. The Alinsky Strategy has an “Achilles’ Heel.” It is simply that these manipulations only work on those who allow it. This is true for every honorable person involved, from President Trump and Elon Musk, right down to the common citizen who owns a Tesla vehicle. Stand up to leftists, and refuse to be “shamed” or otherwise put onto the defensive by their grandstanding and accusations, and their attacks lose all impact. Moreover, a resolute stance against them, when accompanied by a blunt exposition of what their malignant efforts really represent, points the spotlight right back at the vile nature of the leftist accusers, their hypocrisy, and their litany of lies. At that point, any further accusations or attacks return directly to the attacker and become a decisive liability to them.
