Whales, polar bears and penguins, better start watching your backs. You’re on your own. The eco-terrorists have lost their piggybank.
Until Elon removed the blinders, we never knew that the hoards of crazed “protestors” were funded by us via our taxes through a series of cut outs to “dark money” operatives.
