đź”’ Yes, Attacking Teslas is Self-Defense
I’ll say it in a way that is as legally unobjectionable as I can manage: I do not endorse violence but I understand why it’s happening.
I’m not even talking about the type of violence that harms people. When people feel politically powerless in America it’s common for them to lash out at objects. Things and people are equal concepts under both capitalism and the definition of the word “violence,” which is why capitalists love that word. The use of force to inflict harm on people—or things.
But most people don’t want to harm other people. A lot do, but most don’t. In protest, the violence is rarely random—the protest strikes at what they perceive to be causing them harm. If not individuals then institutions, or power structures, and their symbols. That’s the difference between far-right groups like the Proud Boys and, for example, the dreaded Antifa. Leftist violence often means overturned police cars and vandalized statues. Symbols of authority and control.
For the Proud Boys, their anger very much is other human beings. Brown colored people, or people who look too gay. When the far right rioted in 2024 to the glee of Tommy Robinson and his fan abroad Elon Musk, it was immigrant businesses and homes that burned.
Today, in the United States, it’s Teslas being incinerated.
When you break property in protest it’s not the property itself that you care about breaking. The right and their allies and pawns will have you believe these are just angry toddlers smashing stuff because they’re having a tantrum. That analogy actually much better describes what the Trump administration and DOGE are doing. The violence here is not indiscriminate and its participants aren’t random.
Attacking these ass-ugly cars is so far the only thing that has ever been proven to land a blow against the richest human being who has ever lived, and one of the most powerful. A man who has made it his singular laser-focused mission to destroy lives.
This is self-defense.
Allegedly, “3 out of 4 people who have been arrested for vandalizing Teslas are transgender or nonbinary.” That’s unconfirmed at the time of this writing but whether true or not Elon Musk has taken this revelation as proof that transgender people are overwhelmingly predisposed to violence.
“That is simply a fact,” states the man who cannot present a single academic source to prove the theory he invented in his ketamine-melted brain.
The thing is, I wouldn’t be surprised if a statistically abnormal number of transgender people were involved in smashing, vandalizing, picketing, or just flipping off Teslas. This is a class of people he has repeatedly vowed to scour from the face of the planet he believes he owns. Not because they have done anything to harm him, but because he has taken unfathomable personal insult at their existence and especially the fact that one of his own offspring is one.
Musk is a eugenicist who sees himself as the beneficiary of a perfect genome. (God knows how—his father is a monster and a degenerate for reasons both known and suspected). One of his ludicrous grand plans to direct our species’ future is to repopulate humanity with his own perfect descendants, and it’s an open secret that his children are all or mostly the product of IVF and gene tampering to sire only boys, who he hopes will grow into future sex pests.
Only two of his children are known to have been born female, and he has at least 14 kids, almost definitely more. Maybe many more.
I can only imagine the sense of not just insult but betrayal that he felt when one of his perfect boys began identifying as she. As Musk told Jordan Peterson, it was the exact equivalent of his child dying. If one of his clones could rebel, what might that say about his own perfection?
Musk has made it abundantly clear that certain minority groups are within his scope for disposal, and when they refuse to go quietly he has the audacity to opine about their violent nature.
Let’s talk about violence, shall we?
