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.

      Idk about you, but I had the best first IRL interaction. I love an a small town and had one pull up to me at a stop light. I immediately started belly laughing, and my shit carries even when I don’t intend it. Heard some sort of quick beep almost immediately when I started. I hope I see myself online someday.

      Good job editing the part of your comment where you called me a liar.

          Naw this actually happened I assure you. Pretty sure I still got the dash cam footage, but you’re just going to hear the laughter and beep.

          But you know, good job sounding like a dick. You must be a blast at social gatherings.

          Why would I lie about something like this?

    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.

    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.

    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.

        Not sure why you got downvoted.

        I’m not a violent person—I want peace. But if the quickest path to it, with the least bloodshed, is removing this idiot, then so be it.

            Id really consider it I weren’t foreign to the US. Really really bad look for my whole country if I did anything. But if USA invades us then I’m absolutely going to try.

            I’m hopeful I’ll be so popular after that no lawyer will be required 🤞

              the scene from “a complete unknown” really hammers the point home.

              pete seeger: “we’re so close to peace”

              dylan: “they just killed JFK and Malcom X”

    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.
