Trump also accused “radical left lunatics” of an “illegal and collusive” Tesla boycott as #TeslaTakedown protests surge.

    A bunch of terrorists storm the Capitol and try to end democracy; they get a pardon. Property damage on shitty cars? Terrorism.

    What does he call it when Tesla and Musk steal $43 million from the Canadian government in grants for EVs, they did that last weekend where it appeared that Tesla was selling a vehicle every 2 minutes to take advantage of an incentive plan for people buying EVs…

    I hope the Canadian government investigates and stops any payments and issues fines equal to what they stole.

    By the way, they probably did something similar to steal the election in the US, the republicans sure went pretty quiet really fast.

    I really think Americans need to stand up and dispose of their corrupt government.

    Given that this administration is now arresting and deporting people for speech, it will not take much for ‘vandalism is terrorism’ to become ‘speech is terrorism’ when it comes to Tesla. Coming up on this trajectory are: people getting arrested for boycotting Tesla, people getting arrested for posting memes about Tesla, people getting arrested for the hate crime of flipping off Tesla drivers, Tesla ownership as a protected class.

    Elon is such a loser. He built a fortune on government contracts, reselling carbon credits, and committing labor and SEC crimes. He then turned around and is dismantling the government that made all that possible, and is now relying on that government to shore up his failing market position and protect him from the buying public.

    Trump should negotiate with these terrorists. Give them 25% of dealerships, the US gets 50% of the remaining dealershil profits and make Musk thank Trump for this amazing deal because Musk doesn’t have the cards

    TIL it is illegal to not buy a Tesla. Is that just when I’m in the market for a car or all the time?

      Systemic violence doesn’t count silly

      Those people that are going to die are just lazy and they deserve it. They should’ve just pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and quit being poor before the funding was cut. /s

    What a filthy thing to call these lovely, flammable tourists! They are all about peace and love and occasionally bursting into flames near car batteries.
