    To be fair I would say a mass-orchestrated event of committing arson and destruction of private property across the nation should be classified as domestic terrorism… if you remove politics from the equation, it’s still terrorism.

      This is authoritarian fascism. fascism is the intersection/integration of government and corporate power and now the government is overtly run by corporatists and being used to protect their capital? People aren’t destroying government institutions here they are destroying a billionaires piece of shit ev that has dozens of issues and that his publicly traded corporation cant give away so they have lowered the price so many times to try and coax dumb rich people to buy this $100,000 paperweight. If musk was so concerned about the public lashing back out against his reprehensible ideology then he should have thought a minute before doing a blatant fascist salute not once but twice at a live televised presidential inauguration. Maybe we can remove politics from it when the guy in charge of this dumpster fire of a corporation removes himself from politics(or the demographic of people actively performing cellular respiration). The sooner the better.

        Aren’t they destroying regular citizens’ private property by doing all of this or are you only focusing on the dealership arson events and not the masses of other events?

          Maybe people shouldn’t buy products from Someone who spouts fascism from every orifice and did an obvious and blatant fascist salute TWICE at a presidential inauguration. Maybe if they can afford one of these dumpster fires on wheels they should break their contract and sell it or just put it in storage until the contract expires and drive a hybrid or even an electric Lexus like someone with a functioning cerebral cortex.

          FAFO

            People have had many of those cars long before any of this happened though? You’re saying people should have seen this coming 6 years in advance or something?

              i dint know why anyone would buy anything besides a Toyota or Honda product American automotive corporations have shown time and again they put profitability and planned obsolescence over consumer trust and vehicle reliability in every instance. And if consumers could do their research and just understand that the WV revolution will never happen with the industry relying on LiFePo batteries. The mining of lithium salts is very harmful for the environment and the people doing it who are virtually all exploited third world inhabitants in countries with regulatory committees weak enough to allow mass exploitation of the labor force to ensure EV’s are profitable. We need to double down on solar tech and improve its efficiency. There is a brand from Germany, SONO, they manufacture a solar vehicle and if they had the amount of capital musk has conned off the American taxnpayers maybe we would see a path to a true sustainable form of personal transportation in the next 5 decades. But as things are it isnt possible. There is a bottleneck for LiFePo battery production. We would beed to increase output by at least 1000% to ensure we could meet consumer demand for new vehicles with ev tech. Not to mention the cordless power tool industry, disposable vapes and all the other industries that rely on this tech. So people have been buying into a mass delusion through advertising propaganda/pr just to stuff musks pockets at our expense
