Elon Turns Tables, Drops Video of 'Crazy Stalker' Wearing Antifa Suit
2022-12-16
More on this story from yesterday.
[REDSTATE] I wrote on Wednesday about a person who was allegedly trying to stalk Elon Musk and his family. According to Musk, the person blocked his family’s car, thinking Elon was in it, and climbed on the hood of the car. Musk’s toddler son was in the car.

But it turns out that Musk’s people managed to turn the tables on the stalker. They not only got a great video of the inside of the alleged stalker’s car, but they also got a license plate. Musk is sharing that on Twitter, asking people if they can identify the guy. You may notice something about the way the man is dressed.


Musk said this was the guy who jumped on the hood of the car his little son was in.

The person is dressed like Antifa. The benefit of dressing in black with Antifa is that if you are involved in criminal activity in a riot, the police can’t properly identify you because you look like everyone else. The problem here, of course, is that if you are in your car, and someone grabs your license plate, then that dressing in black doesn’t help you much. Maybe all dressing like this does is reveal your likely politics. Not bright, unless it isn’t a car that can be traced back to him in any way. What looks like hand sanitizer in the car also says something as well — again that suggests the person is on the left side of the political spectrum and/or maybe has a health question.

But not a smart move from whoever this guy is to do something to a man with more than 120 million Twitter followers. The video posted by Musk on his Twitter account now has 8.4 million views as of this writing. Chances this guy gets nailed soon if he hasn’t been already? I’m going to guess that he isn’t going to last out the day without being identified.

The real question, if this is in California, is whether this guy will suffer any consequences at all for his actions.

Musk said he was going to be upping his security. As we reported, he also suspended the accounts that had been doxxing him in real time and noted that he would be pursuing action against Jack Sweeney, who was involved in the ElonJet account that tracked him.

#15  Hand sanitizer? Try Astroglide.

#14  Safe bet that Musk has a Tier 1 security crew. A few days ago I was looking at the LinkedIn profile of a former operator I know. Said he’d recently started work in the Austin Tesla plant as a production associate. Uh huh.

#12  Seems like there would be a core group of military discharged for vaccine refusal that would be hirable for security assignments.

#11  In Cali, who do you think would be charged with a crime in such an incident?

#10  Why didn't the driver gas and run the asshole over? May be time to hire armed security.

Woo. You know what they say about "there's no such thing as bad publicity..."

#7  Elon's team knew everything about this guy before the video was posted. Lots of signaling going on here.

#6  The dude was on the hood of the car!
That's 3-4 feet from the driver.
Was it a bullet-proof windshield?

#5  No billionaire I and I've never had any confidence in the law. But even in my rural torpor I believe I could locate several robust lads and an equal number of rod subs. You may get them all, but you can absolutely take one off the field and dramatically enough to give the rest pause.

#4  Somebody give him the starrynights or ##in onion address. In case he already doesn't have it. He could use a double layer proxy to contract it. If you have so much money and still your family is endangered you're putting a foolish amount of confidence in the law.

Noticed
How new, fresh looking the ANTI-FA person's clothing and gloves were. Like the outfit was just purchased.

How the bottle of hand sanitizer nozzle is turned towards the passenger seat, not the drivers. Was there another person nearby filming the Bodyguards responses?

Plus, given Social Media's documented ability to track IMEI and filter on the type of phone used, this will get interesting.

Looking at the Blog and Social Media comments being posted by people claiming/playing the part of Generation AB-norm. Just about all were using the storyline, pointing out Musk's possible violation of his own TWITTER EUA. Instead of the fact, that the Attacker(s) almost harmed innocent Musk Family members and risked getting their butts capped.

Summary:
I am leaning either more towards a DC Swamp Warning,and/ or a kidnapping practice run, than a Click-bait staged incident.
