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.

    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.

    I think Musk making people realize they have to aim higher than “foot soldiers” is not a great idea for him haha!

    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.

      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.

        Not sure why you got downvoted.

        I’m not a violent person—I want peace. But if the quickest path to it, with the least bloodshed, is removing this idiot, then so be it.

              the scene from “a complete unknown” really hammers the point home.

              pete seeger: “we’re so close to peace”

              dylan: “they just killed JFK and Malcom X”

            Id really consider it I weren’t foreign to the US. Really really bad look for my whole country if I did anything. But if USA invades us then I’m absolutely going to try.

            I’m hopeful I’ll be so popular after that no lawyer will be required 🤞
