What we’re watching right now is disgusting.
Across American history, a number of large industrialists, bankers, and innovators have worked hand in glove with the American government when called upon to do so. Bankers worked with the federal government in order to essentially bail the United States government out of serious debt problems during World War II. Industrialists worked with the FDR administration in order to rev up the American war machine.
Nothing about Elon Musk’s actions is unprecedented. What is unprecedented is the idea that it’s good for the country if his company is taken down.
Hatred for President Trump is strong, but he has been invulnerable to that hatred, so the Left has turned their hatred toward Musk.
The Left hates Trump, but they’re tired of hating Trump. They got bored with it. Musk is the new hot thing to hate. And because Musk has dedicated himself to DOGE; because he is reviewing each department to identify possible waste, fraud, and abuse; because he is voluble on X; and because he is so rich, he has become persona non grata, enemy number 1.
That means the Left is now excusing actual acts of violence on Tesla dealerships. Entire sites have been set up to doxx Tesla owners. The UK Independent reports, “As protests against DOGE head Elon Musk spread across the country, a website called ‘Dogequest’ has reportedly published the personal details of Tesla owners, leading to concerns about privacy and safety. The site reveals the names, addresses and phone numbers of Tesla owners on an interactive map and uses an image of a Molotov cocktail as a cursor.”
So too did 404 Media report this week:
A website called “DOGEQUEST” has posted on a searchable map what it claims to be the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners across the United States, and says it will remove the data if an individual proves that they have sold their Tesla. The map also includes the addresses of Tesla dealerships, the rough locations of Tesla superchargers, and the personal information of employees of the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
This is full-scale insane. Hundreds of thousands of people own Teslas.
I’m old enough to remember when Sarah Palin outlined districts she hoped Republicans could flip on a map, and when a nutjob who had nothing to do with the map shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Palin was blamed.
WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show
Here, people are putting up an actual map with the icon of a Molotov cocktail and the names of individual private people who own Teslas.
Somehow this isn’t a national scandal in any way. But it should be. It should be viewed as incitement to violence.
All of this comes after numerous high profile attacks on Tesla vehicles, including Tesla vehicles being set on fire at a Las Vegas dealership.
The vandalism against Tesla has absolutely surged, not just in the United States, but apparently also in Canada. Just today, The New York Times reported, “People in Canada have done real damage to the vehicles and dealerships belonging to his electric car company, Tesla, according to the police. More than 80 Teslas had their tires punctured and bodies scratched at a lot in Hamilton, Ontario, the police said on Thursday. Several acts of vandalism against Tesla property have also been committed in the United States.
Meanwhile, the Left is celebrating this. The Daily Show audience actually cheered about Teslas being burned.
Imagine for just a second that there was a company associated with the Biden administration wherein Right wingers went to the factories where that company manufactured its product and began burning up the factories.
This is really ugly. Many of the same people cheering this are also cheering the alleged murderer Luigi Mangione, who shot and killed the head of United Healthcare.
It is truly amazing to watch how the Left is swinging even further Left. The far-Left has decided that resistance must eventually shade into Baader-Meinhof excuses for domestic terror and violence.
They — these environmental nutjobs — are going to wreck the largest electric vehicle company on planet Earth.
Notice where they are directing their energy. They’re not directing their energy toward the actual elected officials. There’s a congressional election next year. They could be directing their energy at Congress, but they’re losing because it turns out the Democratic Party is deeply unpopular. They could be directing all of their energy at President Trump, but they know they’re getting nowhere with that.
So, instead, they’ve decided to attack the private company of a private individual.
It is not that Musk isn’t a public figure. He certainly is, and Tesla is publicly traded. But none of this has to do with government interventionism.
Typically, in a republic, the way to change policy is through voting. Even when lobbying, the threat is to change votes. The threat is that you are going to do something that is going to change the nature of the electorate, then change the nature of the people who are governing you.
But the Left is attempting to pressure a private company, so as to pressure the owner of that private company into doing something they would prefer he not do, through acts of vandalism.
It’s disgusting.
