A scraggly octogenarian allegedly scratched five Teslas at a Long Island mall in a tantrum over Elon Musk and President Trump – but he later told The Post it was all a big mixup.
Victor Divergilio, 83, caused $23,000 in damage to the cars at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City on Sunday afternoon and allegedly fumed to detectives that Tesla CEO Musk “should die” and “so should Trump f–king die,” according to a criminal complaint.
But he sang a different tune in a brief phone interview with The Post Wednesday.
“If I did something against him, it wouldn’t be simply scratching their cars,” he said, referring to Musk — though he admitted he was no fan of the billionaire who has led the Trump administration’s cut-seeking Department of Government Efficiency.
“Well, I don’t like him but I would never do that,” he said.
Divergilio allegedly used a key to carve up the five Teslas around 1:50 p.m. but denied doing it when police showed him footage that appeared to show him scratching the vehicles, the complaint said.
“Yeah, that’s me but I wasn’t keying any cars,” he said, according to the complaint.
“Yea but I was getting my keys because I had just paid and I wanted to see how much money I had.”
He then violently ranted about Musk and President Trump, the complaint said.
“Musk owns Tesla yea, he’s getting thrown out at the end of the month. He should die alright so should Trump f–king die,” he allegedly said.
Divergilio was charged with criminal mischief and released at his arraignment in Nassau County Criminal Court Wednesday morning.
At his arraignment, Divergilio was ordered by a judge to undergo a mental health evaluation.

Ten years should do the trick.
Just when I thought the Tesla Tantrums were starting to die down.
I’m more convinced now than ever before that leftism is a mental health disorder.
I’d say twenty years should do the trick.

And hopefully the lefties go bankrupt in the process.
2025: You’re liberal, a few years ago you bought a Tesla to “save the planet.” That is now SOOOO yesterday, in an instant you’re now a right-wing Nazi, worthy of contempt and vandalism of your property! Such is the reality of the Leftist WOKE insaneosphere. What was good yesterday is now bad. WARNING! All Leftist “truth” is always subject to change without notice. Just when we think the LeftWokeazis can get no more insane, they get insanier... such is the insaneosphere.
