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.

    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’s allowed to do Nazi salutes at inaugurations, but people aren’t allowed to point fingers at his cars?

        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.

            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 🤞

              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”

    Well, if people are going to be arrested for just flipping off cybertrucks, then they might as well just go ahead and actually damage them.

      If you’re walking past a swastikkkar and don’t yell joyfully, “Elon’s a super-genius and the savior of Earth,” then you’re a terrorist.

    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.

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

    high profile non binary, non white, non male identified people deal with actual life threats on their life just for existing.

    Meanwhile here’s a white cisdude with billions worried about some woman pointing in a general direction.

        I’m so confused as to why someone would downvote your comment. I guess they think you’re trying to shut someone down or something? Like you just mentioned it is risky, I assume because it has happened to you, which is good to know

            I guess maybe. It’s just still odd though. Like you weren’t really making a political point. Maybe they’re just downvoting all your comments? I dunno just strange
