On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” host Ari Melber argued that President Donald Trump stating that he would classify violence against Teslas or Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism is him labeling “people who protest Tesla” domestic terrorists and saying, “We would not expect American judges to allow any sort of treatment of protesters as domestic terrorists because they go to a Tesla” dealership.
Melber said, “[W]e see Trump trying to bend the government to help Musk, and it goes well beyond what you see just in these kind of sort of embarrassing efforts to hawk cars. If they’re great cars, why do you need the government involved in selling them in that manner? But a Trump prosecutor also made a possibly illegal vow to investigate members of Congress who criticize Elon Musk. That’s, again, helpful to Musk, coming from the Trump administration.”

The left are proving once again that they are domestic terrorists apologists- they are as low and despicable as any outright terrorist th3mselves really.
“”is him labeling “people who protest Tesla” domestic terrorists and saying, “We would not expect American judges to allow any sort of treatment of protesters as domestic terrorists because they go to a Tesla” dealership.””
Is English his first language? If so, he failed many years of it.
So, if we don’t like Ari Melber, we can go to his house and burn it down as a form of “protest”? AWESOME!
Trump would classify VIOLENCE, not protest, as Domestic Terrorism. He should use same laws as Abortion Clinics.
This is amusing. It wasn’t too long ago liberals loved Elon Musk because they love electric cars.
Some liberals even want to see him deported. The liberals love immigrants. Liberals especially love immigrants who start businesses and create jobs.
Elon Msk certainly has touched a nerve with liberals.
Well it’s a crime against humanity for Elon Musk to work with Trump. Trump is Hitler and all of that.
I guess Melber is ok with people destroying his home, his cars etc because they “protest” his ideas and politics. That’s what he is saying is ok for Musk haters
The leftist fringe media has really gone overboard here. We all have seen their double standard before with George Floyd riots excused as mostly peaceful protests and j6 protests as a violent coup d’etat attempt.
Burning new cars is not a protest or free speech, it’s a criminal act if vandalism, violence. This isn’t about a Trump prosecutor going after free speech, it’s about stopping crime that Democrats approve of.
These media organisations have to be getting dark money from globalist networks that seek to destroy the US as well as the corrupt agencies in the zUS government.
Musk should sue them for inciting violence. Or better yet—buy—MSNBC and turn it into X-TV. Drive the Liberal Media out of existence. Buy a newspaper and make it conservative and drive out the LA-NY Times Make a better newspaper with better coverage and better reporting—Real News will trump fake news. Musk could even make them profitable. Hard hitting news with a stable of real journalists columnists who make the news not just re-act to the new. People like Trucker, Greta, Glenn B., Even Bill O. Or also publish a Tabloid—with the news that is there but branded as conspiracy theories—Stuff on UFOs, Monsters, Corruption, Sex, Movie stars and the dark side of Woke. Call it The Midnight Star in honor of the old song.
Extreme haters on the left... crazy people. Evil WOKE criminals.
So, if we decide to ‘protest’ CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC/NPR, we can burn their buildings? They bring it, we bring it with accrued interest. Wanna play a game, leftists?
I am certain if I threw a rock through his living room window, he would not consider it a protest and would call the cops!
Musk has more money and technical expertise than the people who are funding these terrorists. He will have to soon deal with these lowlifes in a very serious manner. Quietly and efficently.
There are a pretty fair number of Tesla haters on Free Republic. One can only wonder if the conservatism and unselfish service of Elon Musk has mitigated that hatred to exclude Tesla’s from all EV’s in general
The left which thrives and exists on jealous inequality is incapable of understanding Elon Musk. In the whole Progressive world, Elon Musk has no equal.
Or MSNBC studios
"That was peaceful protest!"
To the left violence is a protest, unless done by a conservative in which case protest is violence.
I've sometimes wondered if that's why Musk went all in on Trump. Musk had already alienated his leftist Tesla fans by buying Twitter and opening it up for free speech. I thought that maybe he wanted to make inroads into conservatives as potential Tesla buyers by becoming a Trump supporter.
If Musk pushes to get rid of the EV tax credit and such and present EV's as a pure free market option vs gas cars no different from sedans vs SUV's, etc., some conservatives might give EV's a look.
My wife and I own an EV car (not Tesla LOL) and a gas pickup. There're tons of gas savings by doing most of our driving in an EV. But an EV has extra costs too, so EV's aren't worth it unless you drive tons of miles, can charge at home, and can set up charging at home (home charging is where the real gas savings is, not road-side charging).
