Tesla vehicles vandalized across US since Musk began White House role

The three people shot by Rittenhouse in Kenosha. He was from out of state.

I'm not rehashing the Rittenhouse situation I provided an example of someone else who was shot and killed during the protests

 

[Hans Blaster]

and the shootings I was talking about were the actual assassinations of people in Portland by one of your guys

I forgot about that shooting. It's a solid argument against carrying guns everywhere. It leads to "settling disputes" rather violently.

And those weren't "my guys".

Three individuals are facing "serious charges" for allegedly using Molotov cocktails to set Tesla cars and charging stations on fire, the Justice Department announced Thursday.​

​

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”​

Utah governor warns Tesla vandals ‘We will arrest you’​

(Utah News Dispatch) Amid a spike in Tesla vandalism across the U.S. as Elon Musk oversees the new Department of Government Efficiency’s aggressive cuts to federal spending, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox had a biting message for Musk’s critics who resort to property damage.


“I would just say, you’re not helping your cause — at all,” Cox said during his monthly PBS Utah news conference on Thursday. “If you want to lose the popular opinion, just start setting people’s vehicles on fire. It’s inexcusable, it’s stupid, and it’s evil. And we will arrest you.”

Naw, if you throw Molotovs at cars, you get consequences.

In addition to numerous death threats - now they are vandalizing and destroying property.

Tesla vehicles vandalized across US since Musk began White House role​

Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations have been vandalized, suffered arson attacks and faced protests since the company's CEO Elon Musk began his work with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, leading to mass layoffs of federal workers, authorities said.​

​

Similarly, seven Tesla charging stations sustained heavy fire-related damage in Massachusetts on March 3, according to the Littleton Police Department. Officials determined the fires to be "deliberately" set, and the investigation is still ongoing to find the arsonist.​

​

Another incendiary event occurred in Colorado, where a woman was arrested on Feb. 27 after police caught her with explosives at a Tesla dealership, according to the Loveland Police Department. Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, was arrested after police launched an investigation following a series of vandalizations at the Tesla dealership​

Yeah this is terrible that these people are destroying innocent people’s property costing them several thousands of dollars because they don’t like Elon Musk. It’s just plain stupid to punish someone who has nothing to do with Elon’s political views.

 

[BNR32FAN]

The DoI has “life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness“, if the latter includes “property“, that’s fine, but property shouldn’t have “more rights” than human beings.

People are free to buys as many Teslas as they want/can afford, if other people damage them because of dislike for the company’s owner, then they also have the choice of owning a vehicle from a company whose Boss is less of a lightning-rod?

This might make sense if these attackers were only attacking Tesla models sold in 2025, but they’re not. So they’re attacking people who bought their car years before Elon Must ever got involved in politics.

 

[Lukaris]

At least the federal authorities won’t let repeat offenders back on the streets to commit more crime like many leftist manipulated metro law enforcement does.

The victims probably don't agree with Elon's political views either.
More likely they are eco friendly liberals.
I don't know many MAGA folks who drive EVs
Regardless I don't think you can change someone's political views by lighting their car on fire

US exports of criminals are looking up!

 

[Pommer]

No lament, maybe the US should move towards a more isolationist and self sustaining capability.

We don’t have all of the natural resources that we need and must rely on international trade to get them.
Going it alone is nihilistically suicidal.

If political anger always made sense we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

"It's a solid argument against carrying guns everywhere"

yeah that's all it is. Not an argument for like, maybe not being a psycho, or letting crazy people start riots?

I guess the solid argument against rape is not wearing a short skirt too right?

 

[BNR32FAN]

If political anger always made sense we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

I think most people get so hung up on arguing about this president said this or that president said that, that they seem to forget that both of them are idiots. Not that everything they do is going to be stupid but some of it will be.

The man insists on acting bizarrely mendaciously nearly every day and puts his customers at risk.

If Trump cared he’d do something about it. But he hasn’t.

"If she hadn't have worn that outfit she wouldn't have gotten raped "

 

[Bradskii]

The headlines should be
WORLD’S RICHEST MAN IS ‘THE REAL VICTIM’ HERE!”

My heart bleeds for him.

The guy was on Hannity's show a couple of days ago. Elon Musk mocked for ‘woe is me’ interview on Hannity

'I've never done anything harmful. I've always done productive things...'

Don't watch it if you've just eaten. You may lose your lunch.

I am honestly not sure where all the hatred for Elon comes from. It illustrates the cultish nature of the political left in this country (and others) that believes anyone who strays from left-wing orthodoxy is fundamentally evil and must be destroyed

Naomi Wolf
Russell Brand

and now Elon Musk

What crimes has Elon committed exactly? Someone on this forum says he "killed people" --which is totally unhinged and untrue. Others say he is some kind of Fascist--there is no evidence of that.

No one has to like Elon or agree with him on most things, but my opinion of him is no different now than 10 years ago.

And the tone of some is that with the fire bombings and vandalism that he is getting what he deserves. At least one person told me that he brought this on himself
