Elon Musk might just be the most dangerous kind of man in modern America—one who refuses to bow to the establishment. And judging by the sheer level of chaos surrounding Tesla, X, and Musk himself, the Left and their allies aren’t handling it well.
Since Musk took over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and began slashing bloated federal jobs, Tesla dealerships, vehicles, and charging stations have suddenly become very popular targets for arsonists, vandals, and political activists. Coincidence? Sure, if you believe in fairies and government transparency.
Just this past week, attacks on Tesla-related properties have ramped up across the country. Three Cybertrucks in Massachusetts were vandalized overnight, covered in spray paint with slashed tires. In Seattle, an arsonist torched four Teslas in what police are still pretending might not have been a targeted attack. And in South Carolina, someone threw Molotov cocktails at a Tesla charging station while scrawling “LONG LIVE UKRAINE” alongside an expletive about President Trump. Nothing suspicious at all, right?
It’s not just Teslas in parking lots getting hit. In Tigard, Oregon, a Tesla dealership was riddled with bullets—seven shots fired, three cars damaged, windows shattered. And across the country, Musk’s name keeps appearing in graffiti at these crime scenes, making it abundantly clear that this isn’t just random crime—it’s political retribution.
Meanwhile, the media is falling all over itself to not call this domestic terrorism. If a single protester had waved a mean flag outside a Democratic politician’s house, we’d never hear the end of it. But torching Teslas? Shooting up dealerships? Apparently, that’s just “expressing frustration.”
Even elected officials aren’t bothering to hide their delight over Tesla’s troubles. Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs openly blamed Musk’s “distractions” at DOGE for Tesla’s stock decline. Forget the crime sprees, the vandalism, the literal firebombings—the real problem, according to the Left, is that Musk dared to help clean up the federal government.
Some Tesla owners are so desperate to distance themselves from Musk that they’re slapping “I bought this before Elon went crazy” stickers on their cars. It’s almost impressive—Democrats will buy an electric vehicle to prove they care about the environment, then vandalize their own side’s flagship brand because they don’t like the CEO.
President Trump, as always, isn’t backing down. He announced on Truth Social that he’s going to buy a brand new Tesla to show his support for Musk. That’s leadership—when the mob tries to intimidate, you double down. And Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has already called for the FBI and Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate these coordinated attacks for what they are—domestic terrorism.
Then, of course, there’s the other major assault on Musk: a massive cyberattack that took X offline for hours. Musk himself called it “a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system,” with IP addresses originating from “the Ukraine area.” Naturally, the second Musk pointed this out, the media rushed to dismiss the idea that Ukraine could be involved. Never mind that Musk’s Starlink system has been a lifeline for Ukraine’s military—he’s questioned the never-ending war, so now he’s an enemy of the establishment.
Here’s a fascinating X thread featuring screenshots from a Reddit discussion. The original poster, a self-proclaimed leftist who bought a Tesla in 2020, is now worried that their fellow “comrades” might accidentally target their car in the wave of anti-Tesla attacks—potentially putting their family members in danger.
The responses? Absolutely insane.
The timing of all this is just a little too perfect. Tesla’s under attack. Musk’s social media platform is under siege. And all of it just happens to coincide with his work dismantling Washington’s federal jobs machine. If this were happening to a leftist billionaire—say, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg—Democrats would be demanding FBI task forces, prime-time congressional hearings, and endless “threats to democracy” speeches on CNN. But because it’s Musk, they’re either ignoring it or, in some cases, cheering it on.
And this is the real problem. Democrats and their media allies don’t just want to win the political argument. They don’t want Musk—or anyone like him—to exist outside their control. Whether it’s Tesla, X, DOGE, or even his push for peace in Ukraine, Musk is refusing to play by their rules. And for that, they’re trying to burn him down—literally.
