Quick Hit:

A website called “Dogequest” has reportedly published the personal details of Tesla owners nationwide, exposing names, addresses, and phone numbers on an interactive map. The site, which appears to be targeting Tesla drivers due to CEO Elon Musk’s ties with the Trump administration, also features a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. The operators claim they will only remove personal information if the individual provides proof they have sold their Tesla.

Key Details:

• The website “Dogequest” reportedly doxes Tesla owners and employees of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), listing personal information and Tesla dealership locations.
• The site encourages vandalism of Tesla vehicles, stating it supports “creative expressions of protest.”
• Recent incidents include vandalism at Tesla dealerships, gunfire attacks in Oregon, and harassment of Cybertruck owners.

Diving Deeper:

The emergence of “Dogequest” comes amid rising hostility toward Tesla owners and dealerships, a trend that has escalated following Elon Musk’s high-profile role in the Trump administration. According to a report, the website exposes the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla drivers across the United States while using a Molotov cocktail cursor—a clear symbol of violent intent.

Beyond targeting individual Tesla owners, the site also reveals locations of Tesla dealerships and supercharger stations. One section of the website appears to endorse vandalism, stating that those looking to attack a Tesla “don’t need a map” to do so. This rhetoric coincides with increasing reports of Tesla-related attacks, including a woman arrested for throwing an incendiary device at a dealership in Loveland, Colorado, and multiple Tesla locations in Oregon being targeted by gunfire.

Musk’s leadership in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) appears to be a driving factor behind this anti-Tesla movement. 404 Media confirmed that some individuals listed on the site are verified Tesla owners or vocal supporters of Musk, though not all entries have been authenticated. The website also reportedly doxes DOGE employees, though the legitimacy of those claims is unclear.

Legal experts suggest that while doxing itself does not violate a specific federal law, it can lead to criminal charges under harassment, stalking, or invasion of privacy statutes. The Justice Department has not issued a formal statement on the matter, but given the escalating violence against Tesla owners and dealerships, federal authorities may be forced to take action.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s stock continues to struggle, dipping another 6% in early trading on Tuesday. Shares have now fallen more than 50% from their post-election high, raising concerns about the company’s stability amid this wave of anti-Tesla sentiment.

Quick Hit:

The latest corporate boycott targeting companies rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is set to begin this week, with Nestlé in the crosshairs. Unlike previous boycotts of Amazon and Target, which focused on avoiding specific retailers, this campaign urges consumers to boycott hundreds of household products from March 21 to March 28. Other major companies, including Walmart, McDonald’s, and General Mills, are also slated for boycotts in the coming months.

Key Details:

• The Nestlé boycott runs from March 21 to March 28 and encourages avoiding products like Cheerios, KitKat, Purina pet food, and DiGiorno frozen pizza.

• The movement follows the rollback of DEI policies by several major corporations after President Donald Trump’s call to eliminate DEI at the federal level.

• Additional boycotts are planned for Walmart, McDonald’s, and Amazon, with an “economic blackout” scheduled for April 18.

Diving Deeper:

The push for boycotts against Nestlé and other corporations stems from a broader activist response to changes in corporate policies following President Donald Trump’s directive to rescind DEI initiatives at the federal level. Many companies, including Amazon, Target, and Walmart, have scaled back or eliminated their DEI programs, prompting backlash from activist groups.

While past boycotts targeted specific retailers—such as avoiding Amazon purchases or skipping Target shopping trips—the Nestlé boycott is structured differently. Consumers are being asked to avoid a wide range of products, from Coffee-Mate creamers to Stouffer’s frozen meals and Perrier sparkling water. This more expansive approach seeks to impact Nestlé’s bottom line across multiple product categories, rather than just limiting consumer spending at a particular store.

This campaign is part of a broader wave of organized economic boycotts. A 40-day boycott of Target was launched last week, intentionally aligning with Lent, a religious period of fasting leading up to Easter. Additionally, Amazon is facing another boycott in May following one that concluded recently.

Nestlé is far from the last target. Activists have mapped out additional boycotts for General Mills (April 21-28), McDonald’s (June 24-30), and an Independence Day boycott on July 4. These efforts appear to be designed for maximum financial pressure, with coordinated economic “blackouts” meant to disrupt revenue streams at key moments throughout the year.

As these corporate boycotts continue, companies may be forced to decide between maintaining DEI initiatives to appease activists or rolling them back to avoid alienating a different segment of their customer base. With President Trump advocating against DEI policies, businesses that comply with his agenda may find themselves the target of an increasingly organized opposition.
