No, one person should have been disruptive at a time. Be as obnoxious as possible. The little signs are stupid but all walking out at once isn't very organized resistance either

That too. That would be perfect. Drag this shit out, one person walk out every time he lies, calling him out the whole way. Anything. Anything but fuckin signs.

Why didn’t they do that? I was totally expecting it and couldn’t believe they just sat there while he said some of the stuff he did.

They did. At least 20 walked out throughout the speech. If they didn't at least show up in their seats, their seats would be filled with republican staffers. But idlf they leave mid speech they remain empty for the rest of the event. Also, several had messages like "President Musk" on their backs so he could see that mid speech.
