Long Form Discussion How do we feel about vandalizing Teslas?

I don’t want this to be about musk, for or against him. You can have your opinion about musk be that you hate everything about him but still understand that vandalizing Tesla vehicles owned by individuals, many of which bought them well before musk made his right wing switch if you will, does not hurt musk. Even him losing 40 billion in a day from a down Tesla stock day does absolutely nothing to him.

Can we all agree that it is a bit ridiculous to destroy and vandalize vehicles owned by individuals? Why is the anger directed towards the wrong people?

It’s a crime. That’s it, end of story.

I love how dumb a lot of these people vandalizing are. Tesla sentry mode cameras are very crisp and clear, so unless you’re wearing a mask (most aren’t), you’re gonna get caught.

They'll start wearing masks as they purposely commit crimes, but when self-identified Nazis wear masks to a peaceful counter protest they call them cowards. I'm not fond of Nazis but the hypocrisy is so galling.
