During a recent segment on “The Daily Show,” guest host Jordan Klepper covered the recent string of attacks on Tesla vehicles, including arson and gunfire, only to be met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. The moment, which aired on Comedy Central, appeared to showcase open support for acts of domestic terrorism targeting the electric vehicle company.
Klepper began by referencing critics of Elon Musk, noting that some were going beyond vocal opposition and “taking to the streets or the parking lots.” The show then cut to a news clip detailing multiple FBI and ATF investigations into arson attacks on Teslas and Cybertrucks. As footage rolled of cars engulfed in flames, the studio audience erupted in cheers.
“This dramatic video shows multiple cars in flames. Police say the attacker used Molotov cocktails,” the news clip reported — again met with cheers from the studio audience.
The segment continued outlining further attacks, including instances where suspects fired guns at Teslas and set Cybertrucks ablaze in Kansas City and Seattle. The audience’s response remained the same: more cheers.
Finally, after another mention of gunfire targeting a Tesla dealership in Oregon, Klepper, seemingly taken aback, reacted to the studio’s enthusiasm. “Wow. You guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh? Cool. Wow,” he said, his tone showing some disbelief.

Rather than unequivocally condemning politically motivated violence, Klepper actively justified it, proving Musk’s point about the growing hatred and extremism from the left. Instead of condemning the arson and gunfire, Klepper excused the attacks as a reasonable response to Musk’s effort to reduce government waste, which has nothing to do with Tesla at all.
His flippant remarks not only validated the radical anger fueling these violent acts but also reinforced the notion that targeting Musk’s company with destruction is somehow warranted.
Worse still, this came after the audience repeatedly cheered acts of arson and gunfire, revealing an unsettling appetite for political violence. Rather than challenging this alarming display, Klepper doubled down, providing a smug, sarcastic justification for why Tesla deserved to be attacked.
This isn’t just reckless rhetoric; it’s outright enabling domestic terrorism.
The far left just keeps getting more and more hateful every single day (if that is even possible).
These people are sick, sick, sick!
“Petty terrorism”? When does it cross the line so that it isn’t “petty” anymore?
These people are morally stunted.
Someone needs to lose their FCC license...
Hope these liberals who bought Teslas realize how fickle their fellow travelers are. But nah, they’re fellow travelers too.

These "tolerant liberals" also seem to support the use of firearms within city limits.

I’d wager this audience supports shooting health care executives in the back and killing them, too.
Helicopter rides.
