Actor John Cusack joined a #TeslaTakedown Mass Mobilizing Call on Wednesday to express his opinion about Elon Musk, whom the actor claims is “literally killing people.”
The 58-year-old “Say Anything” star also hit Musk with a string of other insults during his time on the call. “These are unprecedented times of mass criminality,” Cusack said. “Like Trump, Musk is a pathological liar. He’s a criminal. He’s a sociopath and a ghoul.”
“I mean those terms very precisely because who else would use his own child as a sympathy prop while literally taking starving aid from people all over the world,” he continued. “He’s literally killing people. People are going to die because of this madness. He’s a man who threw 80,000 people out of the VA indiscriminately.”
Cusack next told those on the call that we’re in an “oligarchic country that’s fascist and becoming more fascist every day. And that means people are going to die. And it&#8217;s going to get as ugly as we can think.”

The “Tesla Takedown” movement has been gaining traction as individuals attack the company as a form of protesting against Musk. There have been multiple incidents of vandalism for individual vehicles, plus protest events and damage done to Tesla showrooms despite the group describing itself as a “peaceful protest group.”
The group instructs would-be activists to “take action at Tesla showrooms everywhere” via their <a href="https://www.teslatakedown.com/">website</a>. 
“Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines,” it says. “Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us — not politicians, not the media.”
Celebrities and politicians have been publicly denouncing Tesla since the election and have been trading in their vehicles. Meanwhile, President Trump bought a Tesla earlier this month to support the automaker.
“I’m going to buy, because number one, it’s a great product. As good as it gets. Number two, because this man [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this, and I think he has been treated unfairly,” Trump <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5188929-trump-buys-tesla-vehicle-musk/">told</a> reporters outside the White House earlier in March. 
“I mean, nobody else has a car company started up in the last 30 years that’s been successful, I don’t think so,” Trump told reporters recently. “But because he’s finding all sorts of terrible things that have taken place against our country, we want to penalize him in an economic sense. And I just think that’s very unfair. So I just wanted to make a statement. I’m going to buy one now.”
