There may be all sorts of similar "waves" but keep in mind the context. Without context he could just have had a very big sneeze that caused an involuntary muscle spasm ... yeah, that must have been it ... not

I’ll roll with Netanyahu’s opinion.
Yeah, he's an upstanding citizen also.

" Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate scandals involving powerful media moguls and wealthy associates."

Not a fan of vandalism, even when directed at a white-supremacist, Neo-nazi, megalomaniac's company.

But there are bound to be consequences from people with less self-control and more anger, perhaps at being fired for no good reason, losing benefits they depend on, etc., just so that billionaires can have tax cuts and industries can have less safety regulation.

Looking at Tesla stock price recently from the upper 400's down to the low 200's now - that's gotta hurt, it's money out of his net worth and money talks louder than random acts of violence I think.

That anger is based on reality and facts, not made up web conspiracy theories, for what it's worth.

I wonder how long the board of directors will keep him with the damage he and his DOG-E hackers are doing to the company's reputation?

"... Before leaving his presidency early in 1921, Woodrow Wilson joined other leading Americans in a statement that rebuked Ford and others for their antisemitic campaign. A boycott against Ford products by Jews and liberal Christians also had an impact, and Ford shut down the paper in 1927, recanting his views in a public letter to Sigmund Livingston, president of the ADL....Wallace also found that Ford's apology was likely, or at least partly, motivated by a business that was slumping as a result of his antisemitism, repelling potential buyers of Ford cars. ... Ford's 1927 apology was well received. "Four-fifths of the hundreds of letters addressed to Ford in July 1927 were from Jews, and almost without exception they praised the industrialist.. On January 7, 1942, Ford wrote another letter to Sigmund Livingston disclaiming direct or indirect support of "any agitation which would promote antagonism toward my Jewish fellow citizens". He concluded the letter with, "My sincere hope that now in this country and throughout the world when the war is finished, hatred of the Jews and hatred against any other racial or religious groups shall cease for all time." "

Boycotts work, money talks.

But perhaps/probably Musk is no Henry Ford an won't recant?

I am too much of a chicken and too self centered to engage in random acts of violence but I can't help to think that those that do, make some people think twice about buying a Tesla which in turn has some impact on his net worth. It seems people at the bottom starting to think if no one is looking out for us and if terrorism is the new law of the land working well for those at the top, we should give it a try as well.

I wonder how much Pearl Harbor and the Nazis in Germany changed his view from 1927. Given the state of the things now, Mush (SP) would double down like his boss does.

Getting off the politics and back to the damaged SuperChargers. Hate to see vandalism of any sort. Particularly when people depend on those chargers being there. So not only is it an problem for Telsa, but also potentially the people who depend on that infrastructure.

Just my two cents worth. Keeping in mind that I have only had an EV for 19 days, but in that time, I have charged at home, a couple public level 2 chargers, and now four SuperCharger locations. In my opinion, Tesla blows everyone else away. Everybody else is an "also ran" in the charger race. The availability (both locations and stalls available per location) beats anyone else around.

As I type this, my truck is plugged into a level 2 public charger at work and getting 6.5 - 6.6 KW. Yesterday I stopped at a SuperCharger and was watching it deliver 184 KW to the truck. Amazing. The only thing the charger here at work has over the SuperCharger is at least for now, it's free.

Musk has some disturbing background in Neo-Nazi politics as well:


For those vandalizing Tesla's perhaps the messing around with their lifeline, the social security retirement money they depend on every moth to eat and pay bills, is the flash point?

Everyone has their breaking point where the primitive survival instincts kick in, which is part of what makes humans such a dangerous species when cornered.

That sounds like justifying terrorism. Would you be ok with Jan 6th riots? How about violent BLM attacks?

Terrorism is bad in all forms even if is just terrorizing law firms, news agencies, university students, public servants, immigrants, domestic and foreign businesses or entire nations directly and indirectly..... it is all bad. It is just a lot worse when those doing it expect no personal consequence. At least the powerless dude that has no hope of his representatives representing him puts his neck on the line by burning a supercharger. He could and probably will go to jail. But despite TSLA recent drop, Musk is still a Billionaire. All terrorism is bad. Some worse than others.

People need to do better!!!
Destroying people’s personal property(vehicles) or even company property(superchargers) does not do anything except hurt those of us that need either our vehicles or fuel for our vehicles.
Not much different than road rage there is no place for all of this in our society.
Yes I get road rage as well, but I don’t go out and try to harm them or their vehicles. I am just glad the truck does not automatically record what I say out loud in the privacy of my vehicle- at least I hope-🤣😂🤣

My Bad. I will try to do better. But in my defense. The subject of the thread is already half political.

Ford would never do that but you know Chinese were recently reading all our texts. If I was a hacker, getting into our camera's and microphones would be high on my list. And you know how much money Ford spends on IT to protect us.
