    A while back I saw a post on Shittit (Reddit) on r/fuckcars supporting “peaceful protestors” burning Tesla cars. Not only the OP but all the comments were supportive of it and encouraged that behaviour. I get the whole hating Musk thing, I hate him too. I started to see his real self when he did the bitcoin pump-and-dump in 2021, I lost a considerable amount of money because of him. Before that event I saw him kind of an revolutionary business man. Since that event I just him as a grifter lookong for new ways to earn more and more money. So anyway back to point, posts like this make the average joe who doesn’t know much about fuckcars movement think they are “extremists” advocating for violence against car owners and their vehicles. I hate Musk, but I don’t support and advocate for burning of innocent people’s hard earned car. Tesla is still considered a “premium car”, many people buy it on monthly installments. Imagine buying your dream car on installment and some random wacko set it on fire just because the guy behind the company started supporting the other party. Before the Trump-Musk relationship, Tesla used to be a “liberal” car since it was electric and liberals love EV’s. Deciding to turn against the car company you once loved and to the point to setting innocent people’s cars on fire is just ridiculous! And also, I saw a lot of “jealousy” and “sourness” towards car owners in r/fuckcars. Things like these made me avoid the whole movement.
