I have zero evidence Musk ordered the Tesla vandalism. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how surprised I'd be to find out he had.

Great way to get rid of rotting inventory and recoup costs through insurance.

I'd be surprised if he did. He sees Teslas as an extension of himself. Which is why it's so very effective at upsetting him whenever people do stuff like this.

Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷‍♂️

Don't destroy Tesla cars, destroy the brand. Destroying Teslas means there's fewer Teslas and that makes them more valuable/reduces the flooding of the market caused by people selling their cars. The goal is to annihilate Elon's purchasing power to stop him from using it to implementing fascist governments around the world.

"Resist" is a tired slogan of the paid-to-lose Democrats, and the last time I saw it surface as "angry-Leftist vandalism" in pluto-fash corporate media propaganda, it turned out to be a Republican trying to cover up insurance fraud. They are too incurious to understand the difference between antifa and liberals.

Kool-aid-drinking Tesla dealers are losing their shirts because Glorious Leader locked them into bad contracts and is now poisoning the brand; they have AMPLE incentive to destroy their own property and play victim.

As a reminder, Tesla is "direct to consumer" and the "dealership" is corporate owned!

So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it's a conspiracy by them.

But that's what they'd say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

I don't care who burns 'em. So long as they're burnt.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago

Very fucking GOOD.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

Oh no anyway…

As a someone from Kansas City I want to say, this is who we are.

Surely it was a glitch that set the Teslas on fire themselves and no one was involved.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Tough shit.
