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.
he almost cried on fox the other day.
I didn't see nuffin
Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷♂️
"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.

Gasoline powered vehicles have to be sold through dealerships, but of course Musk doesn't like to follow the law and nobody stops him. Just like how 'ride shares' pretended to be sharing rides but were just cabs with extra steps.
What…? Lots of vehicles are sold online without dealerships, where’s this an actual rule, let alone a law?
The laws are by state. You cannot buy a Tesla at a dealership in states where the law forbids it. They sell them online only in those states. That's what happens when states don't update laws.
I don't care who burns 'em. So long as they're burnt.
Very fucking GOOD.
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.
Tough shit.
