still figuring out car bombs....
In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents βterrorismβ and said the company βjust makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.β
OK buddy.
The cars suck, but he's right that the company hasn't done anything to deserve this. He's the one who chose to make himself the face of Tesla, though, so however people feel about him, they'll feel about any business he owns.
Terrorism, though? Hardly. It's protest. He's the one doing terrorism by dismantling the government.
The cars are poorly designed to the point of being dangerous. They deserve it a little.
Terrorism, though? Hardly.
Pretty much the definition of terrorism. Doesn't necessarily make it wrong.
That's what was so terrifying about the Patriot Act for so long.
Violent, criminal acts
Property damage is not violence and nonviolent protests are not terrorism. They will claim it is. They are lying.

Yes, but that definition also defines... basically all the most heinous things that Trump and those around him have done in the last... 5 years, lets say? ... as terrorism.
Remember CPAC, 2022?
... kinda speaks for itself.

The board needs to remove Elon today.
yep. I don't get why they haven't. He's tanking their shit badly.
They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.

We know that Teslas sometimes just catch fire on their own.
We also know that sometimes Tesla drivers will set their cars on fire themselves on purpose. Because of that...
We also know that Elon has a backdoor into all Teslas.
Now ask yourself which is more likely, the woke liberal crybabies actually causing violence or a drug addled and politically embattled CEO of a company that lost 50% of its value in the past 3 months creating a false flag to villainize the left and get insurance to cover damage to the vehicles he can't sell?
/s (kind of)
Didnt the Nazi party burn down the Reichstag and blame it on the other party?

Given Elons history, it's definitely possible.

Oh no. Anyway..
I have never, and will never, see anyone vandalize a Tesla. π
I didn't see nuffin
I have zero evidence Musk ordered the Tesla vandalism. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how surprised I'd be to find out he had.

Man, if I had the poor luck/foresight to have purchased a Tesla earlier, I would be driving like the politest mofo in existence these days.
Can't believe the Insurrection Act is gonna be used because of homie's swasticars
"Resist" is a tired slogan of the paid-to-lose Democrats, and the last time I saw it surface as "angry-Leftist vandalism" in pluto-fash corporate media propaganda, it turned out to be a Republican trying to cover up insurance fraud. They are too incurious to understand the difference between antifa and liberals.
Kool-aid-drinking Tesla dealers are losing their shirts because Glorious Leader locked them into bad contracts and is now poisoning the brand; they have AMPLE incentive to destroy their own property and play victim.
As a reminder, Tesla is "direct to consumer" and the "dealership" is corporate owned!
So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it's a conspiracy by them.
But that's what they'd say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

I don't care who burns 'em. So long as they're burnt.
