Incendian dos Tesla Cybertrucks en un concesionario de Kansas City; investigan posible ataque intencional

Las autoridades investigan un incendio en un concesionario de Tesla en Kansas City, Missouri, donde dos Cybertrucks fueron consumidos por las llamas en la noche del lunes. La policía sospecha que el incidente podría estar relacionado con una ola de ataques recientes contra la compañía de vehículos eléctricos. Un agente de patrulla notó humo saliendo de uno de los Cybertrucks en el concesionario…

There are so many outrages around the U.S. flights of 238 Venezuelan men to El Salvador’s CECOT maximum security prison that it’s hard to pick which outrage to focus on. That so many of these alleged gang members have no criminal record, and that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE, an acronym that’s becoming as notorious as the KGB) seemingly singled out some for their innocuous tattoos, including the emblem of the Real Madrid soccer club? That ICE allegedly tricked its detainees into signing papers that falsely claimed they were going to Venezuela, and is weakly defending itself against the charge that it defied a federal judge’s order to turn the planes around? That Trump himself knows that CECOT is a vile hellhole, and joked about sending Tesla showroom vandals there, even as he claims no memory of signing the order that doomed the Venezuelans?

The frog of democracy is nearly boiled. We can still jump out of the pot

I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who did this to us.

People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump.

Some have held signs and chanted outside dealerships. Some have created disruptions inside.

A Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado has been vandalized three times in the past three months, with red spray paint across the windshields and broken glass in the lot.

Last year, in Germany, some anarchists blocked the expansion of the Tesla Gigafactory by occupying the adjacent forest; other anarchists used direct action to shut down power supply to the factory.

Musk and his cronies are concentrating power in their hands through the market as well as through the apparatus of the state. In both of those contexts, the cards are stacked against us. They hope we will remain passive as they exploit us and profit at our expense.

But it is a mistake to be passive.

Two Tesla vehicles were set on fire in what Calgary police believe are separate, intentional incidents this week. Acts of vandalism against the electric vehicle manufacturer have multiplied since U.S. President Donald Trump took office and appointed Elon Musk to oversee the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been slashing government spending and programs. Investigators say they believe the two fires are connected.

Elon Musk Identifies Five ActBlue-Funded Groups Behind Violent Tesla Protests, NYC Arrests Follow

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has revealed that an investigation has identified five groups funded by ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising organization, as being behind recent protests and vandalism at Tesla locations across the country. The groups named are Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America. Musk highlighted that ActBlue's funders include prominent figures such as George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.

ActBlue is currently under scrutiny for allegedly allowing foreign and illegal donations, which has led to a criminal investigation and the resignation of seven senior officials, including the associate general counsel. Musk's revelation comes amid escalating protests against Tesla, which have included violent acts such as arson and shootings at Tesla facilities and charging stations. There are also allegations that ActBlue may face terrorism-related charges due to the funding of these violent protests.

In a recent incident in New York City, multiple protesters were arrested at a Tesla showroom in the Meatpacking District after they occupied the space and shattered the glass door. The NYPD responded to the situation, resulting in six arrests. The protesters were chanting slogans against billionaire ownership, specifically targeting Musk. This event underscores the growing tension between Tesla and the groups Musk alleges are funded by ActBlue, amidst reports that some of these actions may be linked to cuts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

California Tesla owners receiving threats to sell their cars, or they'll be vandalized: report | abc7news.com

Nothing says anti nazi and anti fascism like "If you don't agree with us we'll fuck your shit up". Way to critically think fucktards.

Calling hyper far left extremist partisan bullshit here. It’s be leftist democrats vandalizing Tesla cars, shooting at and burning Tesla dealerships, publicly supporting violence against Republicans, Jews, and anyone who drives the wrong kind of d of electric vehicle. The democrats who actually know who James Hodgkinson was mostly complain about his lack of marksmanship.

[allegraforchrist]

All I’m saying is… damaging other people’s private property and vandalizing public spaces, is domestic terrorism. And the reaction to terrorism (most of the time) is not reason, or negotiation, or compliance. It’s arrest, aggression, and legal action.

Instead of assaulting someone and damaging their vehicle and destroying peaceful, local business areas where people of all backgrounds come to work, shop, and actually enjoy their lives. Maybe, take up a petition, do a peaceful protest like MLK jr warned (since y’all love to reference strong black figures and civil rights leaders), and maybe not excuse open death threats and terrorism as “forms of protest”. Because if that’s the logic you want to apply, then let Iran be. Let the government be. They’re only protesting against their difficult and confused civilians and women.

Polluting the streets with vulgar signs, ugly posters, and noise, doesn’t prove your reasoning or get people to understand your cause. It does the opposite; it proves you have a ‘my way or the highway’ mentality, it proves you’re aggressive, it proves you’re unreasonable, it proves you’re a danger to yourself and others, it proves you’re militaristic and intent on intimidating people. Almost sounds like… dare I say it… but it couldn’t be… fascism?

Oops, I said it. I hope they don’t try to censor me, and cancel me, and force me to change my opposing view, and make me feel threatened politically and emotionally, so I’m afraid for my life that I adapt my whole existence into submitting to their virtuous and loving way of culture and modern thinking.

All I see when you “boycott” Tesla by burning the vehicles and destroying the business, and harassing the drivers and any person wearing a red hat; is Germany on April 1st 1933, and Kristallnacht November 9-10 1938.

Please note: when you comment or repost, maybe research, cite, and justify why you should destroy other people’s lives, property, safety, and peace of mind, to forward your very good, political individual interests?

[alexanderwales]

I do think there's something about people defacing Teslas and setting fire to dealerships or whatever that makes me think ... I don't know. That this is the sort of direct action that only works when you have a tangible symbol within easy reach of the citizenry?

Like let's say you're mad at Mark Zuckerberg, and you think that he's a terrible person. How can you register that? You can boycott his websites and encourage other people to do the same, and if you're a black hat hacker maybe you can go fuck them up a bit. You can try to find a place that he'll be at and protest there, which seems like it would be extremely expensive, as well as not terribly cathartic. Meta, as a company, deals in things that are not tangible.

But Tesla deals with cars, and there are a lot of them all over the place, even if they're not super common. If you're fuming mad about Musk, you can just find a car that he's made synonymous with his name, which he has materially profited from, etc. Direct action is easy. The cars have cameras on them, but I'm not sure how much effort the police are going to put into defacement, and ... look, I almost started writing a "here's how I would have done it" type thing, but that's not really what I'm trying to get at.

Tesla's connection to Musk makes direction action easy. This is maybe not completely unique to a car company, but a lot of major companies in the tech age don't have some direct, tangible thing that the average citizen can just go out and destroy.

And here's where my mind goes to politicians, and how they're likewise very intangible, if the electorate will let them be. Your senator does something you don't like, and you have very little recourse. There's voting, calling, sending emails, but nothing that's going to satisfy that visceral need.

Except yard signs! And every election year, signs are vandalized, stolen, defaced, and replaced, part of an ongoing war between people that must get out some primal need in a subset of people to make physical their emotional and ideological responses.

I've never stolen a yard sign, or firebombed a Tesla, but I do imagine that it might feel good, to take the intangible and manifest physical destruction against a stand-in. I don't think it would satisfy me, but having a psychological way to grapple with the ethereal does seem like something I'd like to have against the Horrors.

If Elon Musk’s week were a Tesla, it would be the one parked outside a dealership in Oregon — the one with bullet holes in the windshield, a Molotov cocktail smoldering underneath, and the word "NAZI" scrawled across its hood. That’s not an exaggeration; that’s just Musk’s ego finally colliding with reality at high speed.

The man who once promised to colonize Mars now seems content burning down Earth. As Musk prances around Washington in his new role as Trump’s favorite government hatchet man, his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has turned out to be less about saving tax dollars and more about gutting everything that remotely resembles structure or accountability. Federal employees? Fired. Foreign aid programs? Slashed. Amtrak? Musk’s been eyeballing that one like a cat stalking a goldfish bowl.

Naturally, people aren’t happy. And when Elon Musk pisses off the public, they respond with a fury that makes Mad Max look like a yoga retreat.

TESLA GOES UP IN FLAMES — LITERALLY

This week alone, a Tesla dealership in Oregon was riddled with bullets like someone mistook it for a Wild West saloon. In Boston, a Tesla charging station was torched in what police believe was deliberate arson. In Colorado, someone planted a Molotov cocktail near a Tesla dealership. Over in France, a dozen Teslas were reduced to smoking husks outside a dealership near Toulouse. If Musk’s vision for the future was electric cars in every driveway, he probably didn’t imagine half of them looking like props from a Michael Bay movie.

In Manhattan’s West Village, protesters flooded a Tesla showroom chanting, "Nobody voted for Elon Musk!" — a fair point, since the only ballot Musk ever seemed interested in was whatever half-baked Twitter poll he was running to justify his latest tantrum. Six people were arrested after demonstrators stormed the showroom, with one unlucky soul charged with resisting arrest and obstructing government administration.

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, one protester decided to skip the firebombs and go the arts-and-crafts route: he plastered stickers of Musk’s face on several Teslas — an act Musk angrily declared was "vandalism." Which is rich, coming from a man whose entire career is essentially high-speed vandalism of logic, decency, and common sense.

MUSK’S “MARTYR” ACT FALLS FLAT

Naturally, Musk reacted to all this chaos with the grace of a raccoon cornered in a dumpster. He claimed on X that ActBlue-funded leftist groups were behind the violence. Never mind that Forbes found zero evidence to support that claim — Elon’s approach to facts is about as precise as his driving instructions for Tesla Autopilot.

The man’s spent so much time in right-wing echo chambers that he now sees George Soros lurking behind every broken window and paint can. According to Musk’s logic, protesters torching cars across multiple continents are all part of some vast conspiracy to... make him look bad? No need, Elon — you’re doing that just fine on your own.

WHEN EVEN TESLA OWNERS ARE EMBARRASSED

The backlash isn’t just limited to Molotov cocktails and spray paint. Tesla owners — the very people who once bragged about their sleek, zero-emission status symbols — are now dumping their cars just to distance themselves from Musk’s political dumpster fire.

“I’m sort of embarrassed to be seen in that car now,” one former Tesla owner told The New York Times before trading in his Model S.

Imagine spending fifty grand on a car only to feel like you’re cruising down the street in a MAGA parade float. For years, Tesla owners took pride in driving the car of the future — now they’re just trying to avoid being seen in public like they’re piloting a clown car through town.

THE KING OF COLLAPSE

Musk’s descent into unhinged paranoia has turned his once-vaunted empire into a bonfire. His crusade against “woke culture” has driven his businesses into chaos. His obsession with control has gutted Twitter, slashed Tesla’s reputation, and made DOGE a bureaucratic joke.

The man’s ego is writing checks reality can’t cash. His cars are getting torched, his employees are fleeing DOGE like rats from a sinking ship, and his credibility is burning faster than a Tesla Supercharger station in Boston.

Elon Musk wanted to be humanity’s savior — the genius billionaire who would drag us into a brighter tomorrow. Instead, he's become the guy with too much money, too little sense, and a talent for turning everything he touches into scorched wreckage.

Republican Rep. Dan Meuser (Penn.) suggested that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was asking for it when an attacker burned down part of his house after his Passover celebration and that he needs to “tone it down” with actions against President Donald Trump.

“This guy is a psycho of course,” Meuser said of the attacker during an appearance on a local radio show on Tuesday. “And our hearts go out to the Shapiro family on this. But you know, they’ve got to tone it down, too. I mean, every action Josh Shapiro has taken so far against the president has either been a lawsuit or a falsehood.”

A leftist pro-Ukraine war activist set himself on fire while attempting to protest against Elon Musk and President Donald Trump by torching a Tesla electric vehicle charging station.

The masked weakling first used spray paint to vandalize the charging station in North Charleston, South Carolina.

In an apparent attempt to protest against the president’s efforts to secure peace between Ukraine and Russia, which Tesla boss Musk supports, the radical activist spray-painted a vulgar anti-Trump message.

However, his tough-guy antics soon backfired when he tried to bomb the charging station with Molotov cocktails.

The Post and Courier reports that the masked Trump-hater ended up red-faced when he set himself ablaze during the attack.

The incident took place near a Mellow Mushroom pizzeria at 4855 Tanger Outlet Blvd.

The bizarre attack has left the community both stunned and baffled as authorities search for answers.

According to witnesses, the masked individual, wearing a gray jacket or hoodie, spray-painted the message near the bank of Tesla charging stations.

The expletive-filled message targeted Trump’s efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Another One:

I've made no secret that I have a fondness for "Old Sayings." I like them because there's so much truthfulness in them. Here's one I really love. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. One thing we should understand when dealing with Leftists, Liberals, and Democrats is that they will rabidly support causes vocally but when it comes right down to it their actions show they don't really support those causes they're just using those causes per se and are using those causes in an attempt to control us. Let's examine some of their actions concerning "Climate Change." As we know they vehemently support the assertion that Climate Change is real and accelerating every day no action is taken against it. They're against any proliferation of anything that has to do with the promotion or use of Fossil Fuels. If that truly was the case then why, after protesting against The Keystone XL Pipeline and losing in 2017, did most ALL the protesters there leave a Toxic Waste Dump behind? It would stand to reason, if they have such a reverence for The Environment, it should be for ALL of the environment not just one part of it, correct? That's what I thought but I guess I'm wrong.

Now fast forward to what's happening in The US now. Elon Musk, due to the success of his Electric Car Company, Tesla, used to be the darling of the Left and Climate Change supporters. Now, since Musk has supported President Trump and his helping him in his quest to slim down our government, Leftists, Liberals and Democrats have made him Public Enemy Number 1. They're selling their Teslas, Vandalizing Tesla dealerships, charging stations and, in fact, trashing and destroying Tesla's that belong to other people. Now here's the rub. Everyone knows that the batteries in Electric Cars are filled with, yep, Toxic Heavy Metals which when introduced into our environment from a ruptured battery of a vandalized Electric car would contaminate the environment but it would seem that Leftists, Liberals and Democrats are good with that as long as they're the ones doing it. Strange, huh?

If you don't think EVERYTHING they do is about Controlling You, Think Again.

Btw, the saying "Actions Speak Louder than Words" can also be applied to what Leftists, Liberals and Democrats are doing in the areas of Law & Order also. They SAY they're all for The Rule of Law and Law & Order but at every turn they cause nothing but chaos as their DA's release violent criminals without bail, they violently protest in support of people that hate our allies, support Terrorist Organizations, and they go "Judge Shopping" to find sympathetic Judges to stop the deportation of violent international Narco/Terrorist Gang members. If you ask me, those are some strange things for people who say they value The Rule of Law and Law & Order in our country to be doing, don't you think?

Dozens of vehicles have been damaged at a Tesla dealership on the Hamilton Mountain, police in the Ontario city said. It's believed to be the largest vandalism in Canada against vehicles from the U.S.-based car company. In a news release Thursday, Hamilton Police Service said officers were called to the dealership near Lime Ridge Mall on Wednesday and "discovered upwards of 80 Tesla vehicles" parked outdoors were damaged.

A progressive district attorney has declined to charge the state employee in Tim Walz-led Minnesota who was allegedly caught causing $20,000 damage by vandalizing half a dozen Teslas — a decision the local police chief ripped as the latest betrayal of victims.

The suspected vandal, 33-year-old Minnesota government employee Dylan Bryan Adams, was allegedly spotted keying the vehicles and stripping their paint off while out��walking his dog around the city.

Despite what police believe to be evidence of Adams committing felonies, Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty will seek diversion rather than criminal charges.

“This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses,” the attorney’s office said in a statement, CBS News reported.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at the time of the incident that the damage in each case was the equivalent of a felony.

The chief said in a scathing statement on Monday that Moriarty’s decision not to bring charges is frustrating for his officers and the public.

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges,” he told KARE in a statement.

“This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office.

“Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same,” O’Hara said in a statement.

Adams was arrested a month after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said watching Tesla’s stock price plummet gave him “a little boost during the day” during a rally in Wisconsin.

Adams, who works for Minnesota’s Department of Human Services, is not a political appointee in Walz’s administration, a spokesperson for the governor said last week. He is one of more than 40,000 state employees, the rep added.

Moriarty has been Hennepin County’s top prosecutor since January 2023 after handedly winning the nonpartisan DA election, but the former public defender quickly came under fire for her woke policies that allowed accused rapists and killers to stay free.

During her very first week in office, she dropped the charges against a 35-year-old man accused of raping a teen girl due to attorney misconduct, CBS News reported at the time.

In another high-profile case, Moriarty was taken off the case of murdered 23-year-old Zaria McKeever after the progressive prosecutor offered slaps on the wrist for the teenage defendants;

While prosecutors initially wanted to try both boys as adults, they were offered probationary deals in exchange for testimony against McKeever’s ex, who hired them.

After public outcry the case was bumped to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison — who is backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Sorry not sorry, y'all have got to stop destroying people's property in the name of 'protest.'

I don't care how valid you think you are in hating another person. I don't care what your politics are. I don't even care what the heck you believe or don't believe. You could have the most valid reason ever in the world, and I still wouldn't care because this is atrocious behavior.

By y'all destroying, breaking, setting fire to, and vandalizing Teslas by putting Swastikas on them, you are committing legitimate CRIMES. You are breaking someone's property. And not even because the actual person with the car DID something to YOU, but because you don't like the PERSON who bought the BUSINESS to have the cars made (because Tesla was around before Elon ever had his hands on it).

You say you guys want people to take you seriously, that you're the party of love and acceptance, but then go around and terrorize people doing stuff like THIS. How can people listen to your side when you don't even make your side appealing to listen to?

I don't care what you think is right or not. I don't care what your politics are. Hate MAGA all you want. Hate Elon all you want. Hate Trump all you want.

But that does NOT give you the RIGHT to cause destruction onto someone else's property. It doesn't not give you the right to burn someone's belongings (especially not if those belongings cause toxic fumes to go into the air). It definitely doesn't give you the right on the grounds of politics. Because wanna know what that means? It means you're committing a hate crime. And what qualifies as a hate crime? This:

"Hate crime in criminal law involves a standard offence with an added element of bias against a victim because of their physical appearance or perceived membership of a certain social group."

If politics has you so worked up to the point where you are willing to actively ruin someone's property, do not be surprised when the political party you are a part of all of a sudden has people not wanting to listen to you.

Crap like this is EXACTLY why I don't want to be on this side of politics anymore. The reds certainly aren't the best either (absolutely not). But I can say for darn sure (as a former blue) that y'all have lost your darn minds if this is what you think is okay to do.

I don't care how justified you think are you for doing it because let's be completely honest here:

If the roles were reversed and someone’s property was vandalized with hate symbols because they were left-leaning, because they supported Biden or Kamala, you guys would be FUMING.

The hypocrisy isn't a cute look, babe.

If it wouldn't be okay for someone to do it to YOU, don't do it another person. It's that simple. And if your politics don't or can't agree with that, maybe you need a better outlook on what your politics actually are and WHY you support it. Because something is clearly wrong if you think crimes like this are justified.
