    through “killings” of “owners, drivers, and occupants of Tesla Swasticars,”

    So if you got one before he went crazy, you’re dead. I don’t think we should be killing the consumer. Teasing relentlessly, sure.

      The consumers and non-voters are responsible for Trump though. They’re just as guilty as their fat orange cult leader.

        Killing people for how they vote is killing democracy. Those MAGA lunatics aren’t your enemy, they’re your fellow citizens who fell victim to radical propaganda. When the Trump regime finishes their coup, they’re going to be suffering just like the rest of us.

        The way to solve the problem is to win them over, and show that a dictatorship is not good for America. Attacking Tesla and Musk is how you prevent other billionaires from supporting the MAGA hate cult, but it’s not how you win over MAGA voters. Taking it to the logical extreme by killing people isn’t going to make it work either.

        I don’t know how to win all the MAGA people back, but I know violence won’t do it. If anything, it’ll cement their existing views.

        That’s an unhinged stance. People that bought a car without knowing what Elon was or would become are not morally responsible for enabling him. Intent matters. Most of them, im sure, just wanted an electric vehicle… the end. They do not deserve to be punished for Musk and Trump’s evils.

        I have a bumper sticker that says, “Have the day you voted for,” so I’m like half in your court. But the real enemy are the MAGAs.
