On a human level and as an owner of a 2021 Tesla Model 3 that was purchased second hand to in part not give Musk anymore money, I feel for the innocent people who are being harassed or prejudiced by others who are not acting in a kind or compassionate way. As the article states, vandalism and violent acts undermine more effective peaceful protests and boycotts. Damaging the cars on Tesla lots will just put more money (from insurance) in Tesla’s coffers. Please people, don’t take out your rage against innocent people to make some point. There are more effective and humane ways to do that. Choose peace.
The people are inflamed, you might say. I think Elon has many well funded enemies, I don't think randos with vandalistic intentions are just expressing their frustration when it comes to the fires. The petty vandalism yeah. Could be I just relate car fires to being a more organized crime specialty, there's a fair bit of the murder/car fire combo where I live. I dunno tho.
