Unhinged activists from the British political group “Led By Donkeys” took their anti-Tesla hate campaign to a disturbing new extreme—renting a tank to crush a Tesla in a stunt that dangerously normalizes political violence. This hate mirrors a broader wave of hostility toward Elon Musk’s company, fueled by leftist NGOs in the U.S., where some attacks on Tesla have already been classified as acts of domestic terrorism.
“Hey @elonmusk wanna see a WW2 veteran run over a Swasticar in a Sherman tank?” Led By Donkeys wrote on Musk’s X platform.
TANK vs TESLA

The crazed activists wrote in a separate X post: “We’ve crushed fascism before and we’ll crush it again”…
Led By Donkeys’ anti-Musk talking points are no different from those of far-left Democrats in the U.S. who waged a multi-month color revolution operation to shift public opinion about Musk because of his DOGE involvement but have largely failed. Without USAID funding, Democrats are just treading water.
The latest public records data in the UK shows that Led By Donkeys has four directors: Ben Stewart, James Sadri, Oliver Knowles, and Will Rose.
Forensic analysis of public records reveals a complex web of interconnected companies centered around the directors.
It’s not hard to create a profile on the group that calls Tesla vehicles “Swasticar.” You can see their hateful political leanings.
Also… surprise, surprise… the WW2 veteran in the video turns out to be an actor impersonating a deceased veteran:
Hey Led By Donkeys, why did you pay an actor to pretend to be this actual WW2 veteran who died in 2020?

Does his family know about this?
Do you feel good about stealing the legacy of a deceased hero for your cheap political theater? https://t.co/cgHDCsew81 pic.twitter.com/mqaJhlSOws

I wonder if that old geezer embraces the barbarians and savages swarming into Britain?
The ‘old geezer’ was a paid actor. A genuine veteran would not pull a stunt like this. In fact, he would be more likely to use the tank’s gun to blow the illegals’ boats out of the water – something out ultra left Marxist government would never dream of, sadly.
So…crushing a car already PAID FOR ????
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
More wacko leftists not realizing nazi’s were LEFT WING!!!!!
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Me thinks you should worry more about your country turning into a sharia law state!!! 🙂
Most decent people in the UK are worried about exactly that. There’s a tipping point coming. The Marxist government are already expecting riots this summer – they are busy clearing out jail cells instead of dealing with the reasons people will riot. I expect it’s going to be more than they can handle – luckily for our politicians, almost nobody has a gun in the UK.
