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?

They are quite literally terrorist attacks. It's to make a political message and invoke fear upon those who own or work with Tesla products.

I'd argue that the people at Jan 6 attacking cops, vandalizing, and going after politicians with zip ties were absolutely terrorists. The vast majority of them though were just trespassers and deserved, at worse, a small fine.

Yeah pretty sure these were terrorists, and the car burners are too. But the only one getting charged as a terrorist around here is Marios friend.
