What’s the Real Target of the Assault on Tesla?
American Thinker ^ | 3 Apr, 2025 | Scott S. Powell

Posted on 04/03/2025 4:47:10 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal -- positions with large support among people on the Left side of the political spectrum. For many, owning a Tesla is a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the world and save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla car owners be targeted for destruction? And who are these radical property destroyers?

If the American people have learned anything in the last ten or fifteen years -- particularly highlighted by the $2 billion destruction of national urban properties that came about after the police detention death of George Floyd in May of 2020 -- it is that destructive riots are not organically spontaneous.

The trigger events for riots are understood and sometimes planned well in advance. Once the trigger event happens, the riot plan gets executed and implemented. Militant activist rioters -- many being members of BLM and Antifa -- can be mobilized and bussed to target areas, paid as much as $300 a day from various NGOs, to engage in protest, obstructionism, and property destruction. Other evidence that the 2020 riots were planned and managed could be clearly observed in the strategic delivery of pallets of bricks in many of the targeted cities for the purpose of facilitating the breaking of windows and looting.

With the deterioration of law and order in urban America, which has also been planned, and with very few rioters arrested and sentenced to jail time in 2020

From what I have read, Elon Musk only owns 15% of Tesla. And I’m sure the Tesla dealerships are insured as well as the owners. So it’s the insurance companies that are really taking the hit economically. And Tesla owners, being mostly democrat are going to think twice next time they vote. Democrats targeting democrats. It doesn’t get much crazier.

It has been reported that the mobs at Tesla dealers are largely composed of unpaid boomer protesters. Key evidence is that they know how to dance the electric slide. Intelligence officers concluded that German tanks carrying empty gas drums at the battle of the bulge indicated that the German army was low on gas. Boomer mobs indicate that the left is low on money. I predict the Musk/Tesla terrorist campaign will sputter to a end. Not to mention Democrats are losing the PR campaign.

They’re making an example.

By destroying Elon Musk, they’ll demonstrate what happens to anyone who supports President Trump.

“unscrupulous, unprincipled and unrestricted”

Uncivilized, inhuman destroyers v builders. When the law and the jury box fail, one can go to the ammo box to put these criminals in the pine box. Their puppet masters are difficult to reach and destroy.

“The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscupulous who. wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder.

the law has been used to Destry its own objective; it has been applied to annihilating the justice it was supposed to maintain.”

Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850 The Law

Be prepared.

The peaceful existence of non-Democrats?

And Musk.

And Trump.

Small detail. Tesla owns the showrooms and service centers, but otherwise you are correct.

To this day, where the pallets full of bricks came from has never been looked into.

It was only so much because no one was attempting to stop them.

President Trump announced yesterday that Musk will be stepping down. The Tesla board asked Musk to leave DOGE.

If true, the radical left has won again.

If Musk doesn’t step down, the insane left will start shooting down Falcon rockets with MANPADs.

Yes, Tesla owns the dealerships and service centers. I heard the insurance companies are contemplating raising their rates on Tesla vehicles. Seems they grab at any opportunity to screw their customers. Proportionately, there haven’t been that many Teslas destroyed. I have to think there are tens of thousands of them here. Should be backing law enforcement instead.

there can be no peaceful existence with liberal activists anymore than one could have a rational discussion with a liberal.

I think Musk owns less than 15%. Somewhere around 12.5% is what I recall. And Tesla doesn’t have dealerships. They have showrooms. They sell the cars direct, Teslas are ordered and delivered. In the early days you had to wait a little while but now they are mass produced and can be delivered quickly. Just pick the color and the tires. Most other options are add-ons or software updates.

But yes I’m sure the showrooms are insured to some degree or another.

With USAID shut down and the drug trafficking money taking a hit thanks to Trump’s more secure border, the CIA is short on cash to pay it’s mob of low-IQ domestic terrorists/color revolutionaries.

I respectfully disagree.
Did you really think Musk was going to do this for four years?
This was always a temporary position. He stated this from the beginning.
His goal is to get a space ship to Mars.

The people who are doing the actual work of DOGE are going to continue to investigate the expenditures of our government. Musk was just the face of DOGE. Elon was not actually doing the work behind it.

The key is to get the Billionaires that contribute to the Dems through Act Blue to NOT give them the money because they do not want to be caught up in RICO.
This does not mean Soros is going to switch sides.
It might keep Zuckerburg from giving them a half a billion to buy drop boxes like in 2020. FYI, I read last night that Zuck just bought a $23MM house in DC.

The dealerships have already paid Elon for the Teslas. They are harming the employees of dealerships and individual owners. They are so dumb.
