  1. I hope Tesla stockholders are enjoying their investment in musk

  3. This is what we can expect for the rest of American products. Massive reputation loss, and consequences to follow. FAFO. Good luck America.

  4. The bitch slap of the invisible hand of the market.

  5. Getting closer Elon, the fake family man visual won’t help

  8. >The destruction adds to the woes of a carmaker already in turmoil. Its stock has fallen by more than 35 percent since Trump’s inauguration.

    Ouch!

  9. Are they sure Cybertrucks weren’t just bursting into flames on their own again

  11. Someone is going to go after Musk directly the way things are going.

  14. When you think about it everyone is quickly coming to hate Musk.

    The right hates him. The centre hates him. The left obviously hates him. Investors doubtless increasingly hate him. Trump’s cabinet hate him and the broader Republican party is starting to push back against him. I don’t care how much money he has, his days are numbered.

  15. Am I allowed to upvote news articles describing violent events? Does that count as upvoting violent content?

    Reddit admins have outlined the end of this experiment with their stupid fucking decisions.

  16. Wish these folks would direct their ire toward the guy who “gave” Elon all that power too

  17. Molotov cocktails… what a great way to recycle all the American liquor taken off of Canadian shelves.

  19. Those are not Molotov cocktails – they are SpaceX cocktails enjoying rapid unscheduled disassembly.

  20. i sure hope theres not MORE incidents OF violence like THIS. Just saying.

  21. >“Whether you like Musk or you don’t, this is not the right way to do it,” said Paul Campbell, deputy superintendent of the Brookline Police Department. “We’re all grown-ups who learn at a very young age to not touch things that don’t belong to you.”

    Which ironically is exactly the fucking point. Why does muskrat get to fuck with **our** government and **our** personal data?

  22. “Whether it is politically motivated or not, arson and destruction of property is not the way to get your point across,” said Matthew Pinard, the police chief of Littleton, where several Tesla chargers were lit on fire this week.”

    What will our silence accomplish?

  23. I’m always on the side of the people throwing molotov cocktails at billionaires.

    cheers to that side.

  24. So vandalizing some cars turns it violent but starving children around the world and firing hardworking people providing for their families wasn’t already violent?
