Summary

Tesla facilities have faced multiple attacks, including arson, shootings, and vandalism, amid backlash against Elon Musk’s political role.

Since being appointed by Trump to lead DOGE, Musk has overseen deep federal workforce cuts and sparked public outrage.

Police report no direct links between attacks, but incidents include Molotov cocktails in Colorado, arson at charging stations near Boston, and gunfire at an Oregon dealership.

Tesla sales and Musk’s net worth have sharply declined. Experts warn cultural backlash may force Musk to step down from his government position.

    Vandalism? You mean like Musk is doing to America?

    Fire with fire.

    Fuck Tesla.

    Fuck Musk.

    I thought I was stuck in my Tesla until September, but I called today and was able to negotiate an early release that doesn’t require too much out of pocket.

    I’m done. Fuck this shit stain. Will never buy Tesla again despite my last 2 vehicles being Tesla and being a referral for two other purchases.

    I am now campaigning against. I don’t care if the company collapsed at this point.

      I don’t care if the company collapsed at this point.

      I care. I want it to collapse, leading to a debt cascade that wipes out all the rest of Musk’s holdings. Then I want Musk’s world to collapse on him.

      Currently researching available alternatives to my 2018 Model 3 as well. I don’t really care about the luxury aspect, which is where most EVs are. The big US auto makers still make terrible vehicles after decades, so I definitely don’t trust their quality with first or second generation technologies. I’d rather trust a completely new venture based around the tech than legacy auto.

          Was looking to get into something a bit bigger. Would have gotten a Model Y if they had been on the radar at the time I got my Model 3, but that was years later. I’m pretty tall and getting tired of having to drop down into a car.

          Been looking at the Hyundai and Polestar options mostly.

            The KIA EV9 is pretty reasonably priced for what you get. As far as I can tell it’s the only EV with a functional 3rd row that isn’t exclusively in the luxury category.

        I’m currently looking at Rivian or Lucid, despite their own evil ties, it is just a temporary lesser evil (for now).

    If you’re an “innocent employee” don’t absorb this shit for Elon. Realize that your place of employment causes you increased likelihood of personal injury and GTFO.

    Tesla facilities face wave of attacks as Elon Musk delves into politics

    I love good news!

      delves into politics

      Not ‘constantly promotes fascism’? No ‘attacks basic safety nets’? Not gonna mention the whole ‘defunding organizations investigating his companies through illegally created oversight departments’? I guess we’re gonna ignore he’s not elected, obviously has dirt on Trump, and holy fuck do I want to punch his face.

      Headlines these days always seem to softball it for these bastards.

    I strongly suspect the people doing this would much rather be going after Elon and DOGE directly, but it’s an issue of access or security, so they’re doing this as the next best thing.

    It’s heartening, really, that this is happening. It strongly signals an appetite for more targeted anti-government action.

    I hope this happens to everything in that piece of shit’s life. Losing everything is well deserved for this narcissistic monster.
