TERRORISM: The use or threat of violence to create fear and coerce or intimidate a government or civilian population in order to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals.

Note to hollywood’s best: fame is fleeting.

it was never about climate, it was about control.

Tesla in CA?

Well, Elon Musk took almost all of his companies out of CA. And moved them to Texas.

I am not sure what he still has in CA, if anything. But he is incorporated in Texas.

I assume they are using fossil fuels to burn the electric car charging stations.

The Justice Department is going to have to start prosecuting the largess uncovered by DOGE. If reasonable people can see Elons actions were altruistic, then moderate leftists could make violence and vandalism more popularly abhorrent.

Because the left stands for NOTHING..this is what they do, they pretend to like you when you support their agenda, the second they say something they dont agree with BAM guess what, they are no longer your friend, meaning, they never liked you in the first place

It was just 12 years ago when Democrat “future President” and leftist darling in NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, gifted Elon Musk a state-funded $900 million solar panel factory in Buffalo NY.

He and Elon were awesome environmentalists who were going to create the new green economy

Now in 2025, Cuomo was forced out of his party as a sex-pest, Leftists call Musk a “Nazi” and that plant in Buffalo NY is mostly empty.

LESSON - don’t EVER get sucked in by Democrat/Leftist propaganda. Its as Orwell said - you’ll be forced to believe 2+2=5

Damned hypocrites.

Yes

"...A disgusted singer Sheryl Crow said she sold her Tesla and donated the money to National Public Radio..."

Ahhhhhahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hopefully, soon, money down the drain!

As for Sheryl Crow, she should have invested in more toilet paper!

[No name given]

That’s because the left lacks integrity and is hopelessly corrupt.

[PGalt]

LOL Sheryl, All I Wanna Do Is Virtue Signal, Crow.

Imbeciles. EV fires cause more damage to the ‘climate’ than internal combustion engine emissions.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Senator Kelly from Arizona got rid of his Tesla, and got a Chevy Tahoe .

What about saving the planet from evil fossil fuel vehicles?

There are other electric cars besides Tesla. If Kelly wanted to make a political statement, he would have acquired a different brand of electric car.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

Now that a Tesla is longer a status symbol for the Left, perhaps we will see the real “market” for all EVs.

Hmmmmmmm.....

Along with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), do we now have EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome)?

Of course, for the Left, EDS also stands for Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome. I believe the Left has had the Erectile Dysfunction for quite some time.

She’d fit right in with the Prozac Ladies of NPR.

This puts a spotlight on it…. A perfect shining example of the fleeting principles of liberals.
