Summary

Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.

He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.

Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks “domestic terrorism,” vowing arrests.

Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a “peaceful company,” saying “I’ve never done anything harmful.”

      I’m not saying perfection. That’s my last sentence. The fraud of by a small number of people is worth it if it means more people are helped.

      It doesn’t make sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent fraud of hundreds of dollars.

          Oh I totally agree.

          When I say efficiency, I’m talking about quickly providing service. I expect the USPS to be efficient in that they deliver the mail without sending something around the country pointlessly and that they deliver it quickly. Efficient in that appointments are easy to get. Efficient in that applications are processed in a timely fashion.

          I don’t want meaningless busy work or pointless paperwork. I honestly don’t think there is a lot of that anyway. These aren’t things that federal workers want or administrators would set up to purposely be obtuse. (Other than those purposely trying to sabotage agencies for privatization. But I’m good with my tax money going to more federal workers. Those people aren’t getting rich on their government salaries.
