It’s already law. Yes, the DOJ concerns itself with terrorism, no matter how retarded it is. Do you guys fire-bomb Ladas to get back at Putin?

Damn, this is crazy. He just made a Democrat-leaning, anti-Trump law firm his bitch.

Trump rescinds executive order after law firm agrees to provide $40m in free services

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/20/trump-rescinds-executive-order-paul-weiss

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the “retaliatory animus” of Trump’s executive order against a similar law firm targeted is “clear on its face” and appears to violate constitutional restrictions on “viewpoint discrimination.”

Really highlights what Trump is about.

Vandalism equated to terrorism? God, what a bunch of losers. They're so insecure they see enemies and danger everywhere.

Once again, their feelings are distorting the reality.

While no one has been injured or killed by these attacks, three professors and researchers of domestic terrorism and extremism tell NPR that they consider these cases to be acts of domestic terrorism.

3 people face federal charges for Tesla attacks. Are such acts domestic terrorism?

I can’t imagine the reality for someone who has shrilled so relentlessly over the years for any politician, much less for one like Trump. — praxis

On this site anyway. But check Twitter — it’s very common. Hence so many Tweet reposts; he spawns from there.

“Domestic terrorism.”

When they do it, it’s terrorism. When we literally storm the Capitol because our cult leader told us the election was stolen, it’s a friendly tour.

:rofl: I love it.

It’s already law. — NOS4A2

Democrats forced to buy Tesla's? Wow!

Do you guys fire-bomb Ladas to get back at Putin? — NOS4A2

Lol.

A Lada is a very rare vehicle in Finland. They all were bought back to Russia when the borders opened. And guess what, it's not the most durable and long lasting car. Mainly collectors have Ladas in Finland.

Ah yes, @NOS4A2's domestic terrorists:

They’re not mine. But they share the same wild sentiment as you.

Ssu’s peaceful protesters.

Oh a few cars set on fire. Poor billionaire, boo woo.

Anyone remember the attack on the Capitol? “No one died! It’s just some property damage.”

Anyone die from the Tesla vandalism? No. “Domestic terrorism!”

It’s just so easy. Who can take partisan trolls seriously? Even if they PRETENDED to have principles, maybe they wouldn’t be so easy to spot.

Still trying to wrap my head around someone pretending to care about distorting reality while relentlessly shrilling for a politician.

Oh a few cars set on fire. Poor billionaire, boo woo.

Our partisan troll takes it very seriously. It's not arson or vandalism, this is 9/11 level terrorism, and thus the perpetrators ought to be handled like terrorists. Although even he lives in Canada, where he should see what an impact Trump's condescending behavior stirred up with those "nasty" Canadians, he won't see where Trump is leading the US.

This will just get worse.

King Donald is just drooling for the opportunity to go after the "domestic terrorists", protesters that dare to oppose his reign. As the economy goes south thanks to the tariffs and Trump uncertainty, the US is on a collision course that will create the epic trainwreck.

Yes, that has caused me to think it is a parody.

Uh oh, must be over the target. Let’s watch them defend political violence against innocent people in the name of anti-Trumpism.

Anyway — Please let him just continue. It almost always guarantees a laugh whenever I check. — Mikie

NOS4A2 can be entertaining, but he seems to be get lazy, just posting a whole lot of X files now.

Do you guys fire-bomb Ladas to get back at Putin? — NOS4A2

In the 80's if you showed up to a party in a Lada, you had to park around the block.

Wonderful take on Trump's and Putin's phonecalls:

As a Tesla driver, I'm satisfied that Trump is taking appropriate action against these psychos. Their crimes are so senseless. And when someone targets Teslas or Tesla infrastructure it's obviously political. Throw the book at them.

I am a little worried about the trans folk as they are bound for men's prison. Now that's something that's concerning. Not that they belong in a women's prison, but still.

I also love my Tesla and the thought of it getting vandalized because of Elon is enraging.

One can tell from the comments in this very thread that they actually believe these acts are harming Elon, and not innocent people, even fellow anti-Trumpists. For instance there was that guy carving swastikas into that Jewish guy’s cybertruck. These sorts of symbolic fantasies which lead to real-world consequences is why they lose elections.

2 of the 3 attacked charging stations. That could lead to people being stranded when their charge dies. It hurts everyone and wastes electricity and time. I'm glad the DOJ is putting its foot down. Teslas are also amazing vehicles, imho peak american ingenuity.

Two guys that shrug at January 6th and defend a genocide walk into a bar…

It/s the anti-woke mind virus.

The political fight back is gaining steam.

Only the most determinedly brain-dead would mistake a few Tesla bonfires for domestic terrorism. The U.S. legal definition of domestic terrorism, as per 18 U.S. Code § 2331, requires acts that are (1) dangerous to human life, (2) intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence government policy, or affect government conduct through mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping. Smashing up a few overpriced battery sleds fails on almost every count unless we're now pretending that setting fire to a car is the same as sending anthrax to Congress.

For it to be terrorism, these arsonists would have to be attempting to pressure the U.S. government into banning Tesla, outlawing tech billionaires, or perhaps forcing Musk to finally finish building that Hyperloop he promised a decade ago. But there is no grand anti-Tesla manifesto, no underground resistance fighting the tyranny of overpriced self-driving software that doesn’t work. There’s not even a particularly cohesive movement—just pissed-off individuals torching status symbols.

And yet, because Tesla is Musk’s sacred cow, and Musk has successfully bought himself a direct line to lawmakers and regulators, we must all now pretend that this is a crime of national consequence. We must feign horror that people might not like a man who turned a revolutionary electric car company into a meme stock-slash-cult. That individuals, acting alone and without coordination, might express their frustration in a way that is destructive but nowhere near the level of, say, blowing up a federal building.

Hating Musk is not a political position, no matter how much he’d like to believe he’s the ideological lynchpin of the free world. It’s a personal preference, much like preferring your autopilot to not drive you into a stationary object at highway speeds. The notion that vandalizing Teslas is a threat to the nation is as ridiculous as calling a key scratch on a Ferrari an act of economic sabotage. If anything, this is proof that Musk has ascended to the final stage of billionaire pathology: where even the slightest inconvenience to his interests is rebranded as an attack on civilization itself.

China is streaking ahead in EV design, including a battery which can charge 450 mile range in 5 mins.
Tesla can’t compete with that, so they will have to make buying a Tesla compulsory. Just like they made buying a Trabant, or Lada compulsory in the eastern block.

What if it were Trump supporters doing something like this? Would you think the same way?

poisoning the well argument. Nice. Why are you projecting US partisanship on a European? It doesn't make sense. Feel free to search my posts about scathing complaints about Biden. Also, I'm not downplaying anything and calling it what it is: vandalism. Just resisting an exaggerated framing that is the verbal dicksucking of those in power.

People destroying Teslas is analogous to a big spat of people destroying electric bikes that we had in Europe. That was absolutely not treated as a threat to national, or European, security. People just hated the bikes for various reasons.

Why are you projecting US partisanship on a European? It doesn't make sense. — Benkei

Europeans are being influenced by anti-Trump messaging just like Americans. Haven't you noticed?

It does appear to me as downplaying - at least, when we consider the probable reaction if the opposite had happened. People would have undoubtedly jumped on the opportunity to prophesize the return of fascism, drawn parallels to the rise of Hitler, etc.

In that context, it's not so strange people are overreacting to what outside of the political context would indeed merely be an act of vandalism.

Pretending that political context doesn't exist does indeed smell of partisanship. Why would a European be partisan over US politics? You tell me, but that's pretty common these days.
