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.

    They want to arrest “the people funding this”, but what if nobody is? Is it so hard to believe people are just generally upset with what’s going on and are capable of organizing without a rich boogeyman leading them? It’s weird to think that only money can motivate.

    Why not just ban Tesla and cyber trucks since they are offensive to people eyes, are linked to a Nazism and provoke violence.

      The Cybertruck would be done for in the blink of an eye If the NHTSA had balls and treated it fairly in response to its disastrous statistics.

    Let’s go through elons post history and arrest him for every bad thing he’s said about liberals or anyone else. Remember that pedo comment he made? Arrest him for it.

    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.

    Musk has a point, though. The Cybertruck is extremely fragile, so pointing at it with your finger poses a significant risk and could even set it on fire.

    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.

    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.
