One Twitter user dismissed the effort as "akili ya omena," others have asked Miguna to sell his Tesla, but his supporters insist on giving him a hero's welcome for championing freedom, advocating for democracy and fighting injustice. Miguna has defended the organizers, calling them "people of integrity."
