Press release 12th July 2025

OilSabs sabotage Musk for support of drill baby drill facism.

Today 4 different Telsa dealerships in Bristol, Dartford, Exeter, and Park Royal London, containing approximately 150 Telsa vehicles, have been sabotaged by the OilSabs campaign. The Telsa cars, owned by Musk, were by targeted by drilling the tyres and scratching the paint work.

Though his support of Trump election campaign and the far right across Europe, via his own immense wealth and control over one of the world’s largest social media platforms, X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk has contributed more to the burning of fossil fuels than nearly any other person in the last 12 months.

This is the second action taken by the OilSabs campaign, the first being the sabotage of 3 Landrover dealerships. In targeting Tesla today OilSabs are targeting Elon Musk.

Musk, the richest man in the world, spent over $290 million of his own money to get Donald Trump elected [1]. Musk also changed the algorithm of X (formerly Twitter) to boost the reach of his pro-Trump tweets at a critical moment in Trump’s election campaign [2]. The election of “drill baby drill” Donald Trump, is a catastrophic blow as we approach irreversible climate tipping points. As Telsa’s shares rebound [3] we need to keep up the pressure, billionaires cannot be allowed to supercharge the fossil fuel death project that plunges ordinary people into a crisis that they didn’t cause.

OilSabs, is a nonviolent, covert, sabotage campaign with a single goal: to sabotage fossil fuel systems in the United Kingdom until they no long function.

Quotes

Sab One – 51 Father of two

“We need to understand the link between the enrichment of billionaires and the continued fossil fuel regime. The structures Elon Musk supports are the same ones that cause the cost of living crisis, the genocide in Palestine, and the global genocide of climate breakdown. Billionaire owned media platforms like X cannot be allowed the control they have of our democracy.”

Sab Two – 24 Student

“Musk’s lies and disinformation, spread on X, and his enormous wealth have helped put a genocide enabling, climate change denying, fascist into the most powerful position on the planet.”

Sab Three – 36 Care Worker

“As we sail past irreverable climate tipping points, as we watch thousands of children being killed in Palestine, as we descend into tech authoritarianism, that last thing we need is the leader of the ‘free world’ to drill baby drill.”

Sab Four – 28 Hospitality Worker

“Musk bought Twitter and has used it to kill the truth. No-one has done more to destroy humanity than him in the last year.”
