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.

    He’s just gearing up for the future assault on the left “funding” terrorism and an explanation for martial law when the unrest starts. Except you can’t fucking normalize fascism buddy.

    On one hand, I want to point even more at teslas now to piss him off. On the other hand, maybe this is exactly what he wants - people pointing at teslas.

    I’ll just go back to continue painting road runner murals.

    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.

      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.

    Is the snowflake afraid of a little free speech? I thought he was all about free markets correcting themselves?

        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 🤞

    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.

      No one on the right ever gave a shit about free speech. They don’t care about actual freedom in general, either. They want to own people. It’s the Southern idea of “freedom”.

      But was she screaming the hard-R N-word into the face of a black guy? No? See? That’s “real free speech” is! We may never know how many harmless but funny pranks and jokes were lost to being potentially called “racist”, which should be also illegal.

    Seriously, I think porcelain is less fragile than Elonia’s ego. I’m definitely concerned about his volume increasing on calling for blatantly tyrannical actions. I hope one day in the future, justice is done and he is investigated and charged for any crimes he may have committed.
    Though I’m not going to hold my breath.
    Does anyone else get the sense that he is exactly the type of person who would go out the way the OG Nazi leaders went out? I.e. self self-deletion as opposed to accepting his loss and facing punishment like someone with courage.

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