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.

    Seriously, he keeps saying we’re supposed to be being paid to hate Tesla, but I haven’t seen a paycheck yet. Anyone have the number for HR?

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think Musk making people realize they have to aim higher than “foot soldiers” is not a great idea for him haha!

    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.
