- Massive billboards proclaiming ‘Send them to Mars … while we party on Earth’ flank a crushed Tesla carrying the license plate ‘FASCISM’ beneath a shipping container.
- The activist collective warned that Silicon Valley’s interplanetary ambitions risk distracting from urgent efforts to protect Earth and said Glastonbury remains a vital space for dissent.
