“I can’t walk past the TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” lamented Elon Musk.
“At least ten Tesla dealerships, charging stations and facilities have been hit by vandals,” a Friday NBC News article explains, “many of whom have lit cars on fire, while a growing collection of videos posted to social media have shown people defacing and damaging Tesla vehicles.”
NBC’s estimate may rest on a Fox News report that actually listed ten Tesla dealerships and charging stations by name and location.
“Some of the most prominent incidents have been reported in left-leaning cities in the Pacific Northwest,” asserts the Associated Press, “like Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, where anti-Trump and anti-Musk sentiment runs high.”
These appear to be “spontaneous” eruptions of hatred towards Elon Musk, whose DOGE task force has loudly proclaimed major cuts to “waste, fraud and abuse” in the federal government.
“The Hamilton police in Ontario announced that over 80 Tesla vehicles were damaged in a vandalism attack at a Tesla service center,” a Canadian news source reports.
“US Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Thursday that three defendants accused of vandalism targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla electric vehicle company could face up to 20 years in prison,” adds the BBC.
“Bondi said the damage to Tesla cars, dealerships and charging stations was ‘domestic terrorism.’
“Arrests and charges against the three suspects were previously announced by prosecutors.”
Musk is the electric automobile company’s largest shareholder, at 5.3 percent, but investment firms own no small amount of Tesla stock, and the hit in price hurts more people than Mr. Musk himself. “‘Hang onto your stock,’ Elon Musk tells Tesla workers,” explains the Financial Times, and “urges vandals to ‘stop being psycho,’” but does anyone expect programed leftist saboteurs to “stop being psycho”? Really?
Paul Jacob’s commentary on the uprising of saboteurs appeared at this website on Wednesday.
