Summary

Elon Musk called for arrests after posting a video on X showing a confrontation between women and a Tesla Cybertruck driver.

In the video, a woman pointed at the vehicle, prompting the driver to yell threats while the crowd chanted “Shame!”

Another woman called the driver a Nazi.

Musk claimed the incident was part of broader attacks and urged authorities to arrest those funding such actions, saying targeting only “puppets and paid foot-soldiers” would not stop the violence.

    Seriously, he keeps saying we’re supposed to be being paid to hate Tesla, but I haven’t seen a paycheck yet. Anyone have the number for HR?

    Why not just ban Tesla and cyber trucks since they are offensive to people eyes, are linked to a Nazism and provoke violence.

      The Cybertruck would be done for in the blink of an eye If the NHTSA had balls and treated it fairly in response to its disastrous statistics.

      Idk about you, but I had the best first IRL interaction. I love an a small town and had one pull up to me at a stop light. I immediately started belly laughing, and my shit carries even when I don’t intend it. Heard some sort of quick beep almost immediately when I started. I hope I see myself online someday.

      Good job editing the part of your comment where you called me a liar.

          Naw this actually happened I assure you. Pretty sure I still got the dash cam footage, but you’re just going to hear the laughter and beep.

          But you know, good job sounding like a dick. You must be a blast at social gatherings.

          Edit for the cynics https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc

          Why would I lie about something like this?

                Oh shit OP delivered guys.

                It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I’ve seen video evidence that’s actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.

                  Yeah, I watched it after posting and figured out it was the cop probably giving him a compliment. If you keep watching you see a sheriff in the far right lane two lights later. But I only had my driver side windows down so it reflected off the side of the cyber truck.

    Musk has a point, though. The Cybertruck is extremely fragile, so pointing at it with your finger poses a significant risk and could even set it on fire.

    Elon’s self esteem is the strength of soft tofu. it’s not for the world to walk on eggshells. He needs to get some actual real therapy cuz this isn’t managing at life.

      A good criminal justice system ought to have comprehensive mental health services as part of the goal of rehabilitation. Therefore, for his own good, he should be in prison and we should reform the prison system.

    Never forget that Elon Musk has built his fortune on many many violations of the law, including SEC violations and breaking employment laws. This ghoul firmly believes that his is of a privileged class that is permitted to do this while you are not. He is a cancer in our society and deserves nothing but ridicule and punishment for the harm he feels entitled to inflict on the rest of us.

      He doesn’t even have to believe it, it’s been proven time and time again that he is part of a privileged class.

      This is incorrect.

      A ghoul behaves independently unto itself and for its own needs and survival. (Think The Walking Dead, The Last of Us). They can be clever, and are typically depicted as adaptive.

      I think the word you’re looking for is “zombie.” (Think necromancy, magically risen dead) They are essentially mindless controlled entities. Constructs. They cannot behave independently unto themselves or for their own needs.

      Elon is owned. Just like the rest of them. Everything he does is for the benefit of whatever entity that happens to control the static between his ears.

    They want to arrest “the people funding this”, but what if nobody is? Is it so hard to believe people are just generally upset with what’s going on and are capable of organizing without a rich boogeyman leading them? It’s weird to think that only money can motivate.
