Bolivia Coup

In July of 2020, Elon responded to online criticism on Twitter: “You know what wasnt in the best interest of people? the U.S. government organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there,” with a shocking tweet:

“We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.”

Only a week before the coup, the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, canceled a 2018 deal with ACISA, a German company that makes electric car batteries from Lithium.[1] This partnership’s ambition was to produce batteries for Tesla, one of ACISA’s clients,[2][3] by opening to ACISA & Tesla the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in southwestern Bolivia, home to an estimated 50-70% of the world’s lithium.

Despite having won the most votes [4] by November 10th, 2019, Morales was forced to resign by an unelected anti-Indigenous fascist coup government[5][6][7] which received covert support from the U.S. Military[8], and soon fled to Mexico.[9]
