Is this the war the liberals want now? Molotov cocktails, arson and graffiti: Tesla facilities attacked in wake of Elon Musk's role in the White House

[User]

This is the petty, vindictive intolerance we can expect from the political left now? Just pure criminal thuggery going on right now. 

Molotov cocktails, arson and graffiti: Tesla facilities attacked in wake of Elon Musk's role in the White House

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-violence-protest-elon-musk/

 

"Graffiti on a Tesla dealership sign. Molotov cocktails thrown in another dealership's lot. Tesla charging stations set on fire. Across the country, the electric vehicle company's facilities and vehicles are being hit with protests and violence over Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration."

[CdnFox]

That is some pretty stupid misdirected violence.

Elon musk is one of the owners of Tesla, he is not the only owner of Tesla. There are hundreds if not thousands of workers that rely on Tesla to feed their families that have done absolutely nothing wrong. There are millions of investors who have put money into in Tesla who have done nothing wrong and have no control over musk and will suffer.

Musk on the other hand is so rich that he could basically lose everything in Tesla and still be a happy little camper and a multi-billionaire. So you're not hurting him doing this.

Childish antics and silly signs are not what the moment calls for

When those in power will ignore democratic institutions and the court rulings, what other options exist?  
 

I heard a lot from conservatives about 2nd Amendment remedies and revolution as a solution to corrupt governments in America.  I guess this might be a test to see how viable those solutions might be?

 

If the Tesla trucks are the things burning, how do you tell if that’s arson or Tesla being Tesla?

An analysis published Thursday by the auto news website FuelArc found that, in their one year of existence, the approximately 34,000 Cybertrucks on the roads had five fire fatalities, giving them a fatality rate of 14.5 per 100,000 units. That’s 17 times the fatality rate of the Ford Pintos, whose famously flawed gas tank design on the car’s rear end led to 27 reported fire fatalities in its nine years on the road, resulting in a fatality rate of 0.85 per 100,000 units, according to FuelArc.

Muskrat is breaking the LAW.

By not getting Congressional approval for changes to Congressional appropriations, he's violating The Impound Control Act on Trump's behalf.

But you and your MAGA CULT, don't care about Muskrat CRIMES. 🤮

Tesla owns all the dealerships. Duh

Tesla owns and operates its own dealerships and service centers, rather than relying on a traditional independent dealership model like other car manufacturers. 

 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Direct-to-Consumer Model:

  Tesla operates its own showrooms and interacts directly with consumers over the internet and in company-owned stores, bypassing the traditional franchised dealer network. 

   
• Tesla-Owned Stores and Service Centers:

  Tesla owns and operates all of its stores and service centers, meaning the people working there are Tesla employees, not independent dealership employees.

As much as I dislike Musk and love to see him losing money, this is something I can't support. If I knew who did it, I would turn them in.

This kind of shit can go both ways.

So, yes, you support targeting others with politically motivated acts of criminal retribution. 

Except, you would be crying foul if it were being done to you.

That's sick. So the ends justify the means? Should they be allowed to kill people at Tesla dealerships? Is that what you want? Because these arson could cause that.

And where he is breaking the law, there are legal processes to hold him accountable. 

So, can you bring yourself to condemn these criminal acts against Tesla?

This is an absurd hypothetical that has nothing to do with anything here. 

And it is not you who gets to decide anything when you agree to anarchy mob violence, it is the mob who gets to decide for you what they feel you are guilty of.

all I will say is that this is not going to change anything. Cardboard signs, yelling, and such will not change the outcome.

Hence the need for revolution when government stops obeying laws.

It’s not a hypothetical.  Thats what’s happening.  When King and Queen Musk/Trump ignore court orders, revolution may ensue.

This is not a revolution. It is cowardly, criminal violence targeting his business over a petty political disagreement. 

If you really believe any of this nonsense, then pony up. Just a phony internet tough guy.

It may just fizzle out, but when the king and Queen ignore court orders, violence becomes necessary, or at least justified.

I don’t think foreigners should join the revolution directly.  I’ll smuggle medical supplies across the border, or whatever though. 
 

You’re welcome.

I’m not breaking the law. No violence will be done to me.  Thanks for your concern though.

You don't get to determine if you are breaking the law or not. No crying when violence is done to you. That determination is up to the mob.

Britain said things to that effect to Thomas Payne, I’m sure.  
 

I prefer listening to court orders, but those are rendered ineffective.  Revolution is next.

If they TRULY think Trump and Elon are Nazis, why would they be dumb enough to do stuff like open political violence to give him an excuse to deploy the national guard and police to deal with them and have his justice department begin locking up political opponents for very long terms? &nbsp
 

This is precisely what he would want
