What Propaganda JOE's latest reveal of anti-Musk activists tells us
HOPE not hate are involved
Today you may have spotted Propaganda JOE announcing a new protest by the group âEveryone Hates Elonâ:
It truly is amazing how Politics JOE/ Novara Media are always on the scene to catch these stories before anyone else (see below for more context):
How do they do it?! We mere mortal journalists can only marvel at their skillsâŚ
On the last occasion Propaganda JOE covered anti-Musk activists, one of its journalists - Ava-Santina - kindly told me that âPeople vs Elonâ and âEveryone Hates Elonâ are âthe same group of activistsâ.
Long story short, this info helps clarify the groups behind âEveryone Hates Elonâ - because theyâve listed themselves on Instagram and the website âPeopleVsElonâ. These are:
Hope Not Hate
Everyday Racism
People vs Profiteers
Rainbow Migration
Women 4 Refugee Women
You can see more here in an Instagram post by Hope Not Hate:
Are some of these groups taxpayer funded, you may wonder?
Well, Women 4 Refugee Women has had ÂŁ3,980 in government grants - so technically yes! Maybe not the largest amount, but itâs the principle that counts.
Moreover, Hope Not Hateâs charitable wing received ÂŁ140k from taxpayers between 2019-20, and it uses such funds for its private wing (the one that goes around lobbying), so again - technically yes.
Otherwise:
Everyday Racism was incorporated as Community Interest Company (CIC) in June 2024 and hasnât filed a return yet.
People vs Profiteers was registered as a company in July 2024 and hasnât filed a return yet. I doubt either of these are taxpayer funded.
And lastly thereâs Rainbow Migration, which once received ÂŁ500 from the DCMS, but largely isnât taxpayer funded. Even so, it has received funding from organisations that have received taxpayer funding - such as The Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Barrow Cadbury Trust.
Below you can see the colossal amounts its received from different trusts, as well as it having had hundreds of thousands from The National Lottery Community Fund:
Another reason not to buy a National Lottery ticket.
In summary, organisations that have had taxpayer funding are behind some of the anti-Musk operations.
But most of their capital comes from private sources (see Rainbow Migrationâs accounts below), raising questions about their fundersâ goals. Clearly the NGO sector is being weaponised for political and even business aims (ie. hurting Tesla shares) by people with deep pockets.
To add, there are even more involved in the anti-Musk campaigns, including Led by Donkeys and German activists. It really is a tangled web and thereâs no easy way for me to explain whodunnit (that may even be the point - that itâs near-impossible to keep track of whoâs up to mischief).
Worst of all, Propaganda JOEâs post suggested weâre in in for EVEN more from these well-funded activists:
