Setting Teslas on Fire? Why?

'Liberals', and those opposing Musk—which is almost everyone I know—are naturally eager to ruin the Tesla brand, which they hope will be detrimental to Musk.  I hope so, too; I used to suspect that there was a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy in Washington D.C. that kept track of whether various tiny laws were being respected.  But the high-handed way Musk has been shutting down agencies such as USAid has got a lot of people angry, including—let's be honest—me.  If there were a Tesla dealership in our town, I would picket against it (if picket is the right word).

But some of these anti-Maga jokers are shooting at Teslas, and setting fire to them!  What's the idea?

If you picket the dealership, and carry anti-Tesla signs, that makes sense; Musk has been demonstrably against the common people, particularly poor people.  But attacking Tesla cars, owned by ordinary people, is a blow against people who have very little to do with Tesla.  They've already paid their money, and now destroying their cars does not hurt Musk at all!  It certainly conveys their rage.  But it looks a lot more like just giving these people—the shooters—the thrill of using their guns, and their gasoline!

No; focus on the Tesla dealerships, and supporting the Federal agency heads who are suing DOGE and Tesla in court.
