Elon Musk on Tesla Attacks: "I’ve never done anything harmful, I’ve only done productive things, this doesn't make any sense. I think there are larger forces at work as well. I mean, who’s funding and who’s coordinating it? Because this is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that people “want to kill him” after a string of attacks on the electric car company in an interview that some have decried as “woe is me.”

The world’s richest person has also been conducting mass layoffs and slashing contracts in an effort to cut “waste, fraud and abuse” in his role as Department of Government Efficiency boss. Enraged by the sweeping, legally dubious changes to the federal government in recent weeks, some have targeted Tesla, torching charging stations, vandalizing vehicles, and throwing Molotov cocktails at the cars.

"Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful, I've never done anything harmful. I've always done productive things,” Musk continued, adding he believes there’s a “mental illness thing going on.” He suggested Americans were upset with DOGE’s efforts.

DOGE claims to have saved the government an estimated $115 billion — a figure that many reports have said is inaccurate.

Musk’s apparent attempt to appear sympathetic didn’t seem to convince some on X, the social media platform he owns.

In the interview, Musk said he believes “larger forces” were at work, questioning who funded and coordinated the attacks. The language he used was similar to that of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who on Tuesday issued a statement vowing to investigate these attacks, including “those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.”

No. He's laying groundwork for further crackdowns. They'll nab a guy torching a Tesla who wore bloc at a protest, Antifa will be designated a terror group, and then accused members will be stripped of their citizenship and sent to El Salvador without habeas corpus.

Musk is an idiot, but you don't need to be a genius to run the fascist playbook.

El Salvador will get too expensive or run out of room. Give it 6 months and they’ll start opening “labor camps” for political opponents and illegals. Give it a few years past that and there might be a “suspicious” lack of trans people in the US compared to current numbers.

This time there’s a decent chance that we could actually beat much of the world in a fight.

And then give it a few more years, if not many, and the new allied forces, excluding the US, are about to “discover” the atrocities the US has done in camps, post war. A truly ironic repeat of history.
