In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”
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.
Good. Let them drown with their sinking ship. They enabled his power grab in the first place and decided something as perverted and absurd as granting a single man $60 billion. Let this be a lesson in history books.
I think Elon would have been better off if Trump lost. I dunno though. He bought Twitter for 44 billion, and that seems to have let him buy the presidency for a mere 200 million. So maybe it’s money well spent.
Even if they do, protests and boycotts need to continue past it. A lot of his wealth is in Tesla stock, and he’s going to benefit from the shadows if the public moves on and TSLA recovers.
OK buddy.
“Evil attacks”, like we’re killing puppies, or something.
It’s vandalism against machines, and the only victim here is the insurance companies.
Leave the puppy killing to the expert, Kristi Noem.
It’s not terrorism. They were just peacefully touring the dealerships. Just like January 6. Peacefully touring.

This is terrorism. Storming the capitol is clearly not.
The cars are poorly designed to the point of being dangerous. They deserve it a little.
The board needs to remove Elon today.
the board are his handpicked toadies that have him a bonus despite tesla losing money
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.

Sigh. Fuck Elon. I hope the piece of shit goes bankrupt. Probably wont happen though :/
If trump had lost the election, he would be in jail and Elon would have been destroyed. Instead, we got… this.

yup. It’s a sad state of affairs right now :/
Did that actually get paid out? Last I heard the judge said no, multiple times.
Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.
the honeymoon from the election is just wearing off.
