The tolerant left in action again'I felt violated': Tesla owner repeatedly harassed for owning Cybertruck
Some people frustrated with Elon Musk and his involvement in the federal government are taking out their frustrations on his company Tesla.In turn, some Tesla owners, like David Koeshall, are receiving hate from others for their vehicles.Koeshall's Cybertruck was parked outside of La Brioche True Food on University Avenue in Madison. In a video captured by the truck's built-in cameras, a man rode his bike up next to the truck, stopped, and spit on it."It was disturbing," said Koeshall. "I felt violated, maybe a little threatened."Koeshall said he was prompted to turn on the Cybertruck's cameras after receiving a note on his windshield prior to the spitting incident.The note read 'Nice Elon Truck, Loser.""I thought if someone's going to come at me and touch my truck and leave a note, then maybe I should have the cameras to record who it is," said Koeshall.
The tolerant left in action again
I like the language part but not the destruction."A riot is the language of the unheard" - Martin Luther King Jr.
Or the emotionally unstable.Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent - Isaac Asimov
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent - Isaac Asimov
I'm quite unsure who this "the left" is, but do go on.“And now she can rot where all those who betray their oaths do. Traitor got what she deserved.”
The kind, compassionate words of the left
I've seen similar vitriol expressed about Babbitt usually by those whose political views lean to the left, it's beyond the paleI'm quite unsure who this "the left" is, but do go on.

I do not think so. As someone who's taken a military oath, similar to hers, what she did was the betrayal of that oath she took. I don't take that lightly, nor look favourably on those who betray theirs.I've seen similar vitriol expressed about Babbitt usually by those whose political views lean to the left, it's beyond the pale
That's one of many doomsday predictions made by certain people. They constantly come up with them. They came up with numerous ones about all of the awful things that were going to happen from 2017 to 2021, which never took place of course.Somehow I doubt that vandalism is the kind of violence that Asimov was speaking of.
Musks is bringing pain and suffering on tens of thousands of Americans, and threatening many more, all outside of constitutional law, I don't think outrage against symbols of his corporate power is so hard to understand.

The stock market crashed in 2022. People are loosing jobs because a poorly run government hired too many people. What services to the most needy did Musk say he was going to cut. What's the exact quote from him that you're talking about?It's not a doomsday prediction. It's just what's happening right now. The stock market is crashing, people are losing their jobs and Musk is looking to cut more government services to the most needy members of society. That's not hysteria, because Musk himself has made it clear what he intends to do.

He's obviously talking about cutting Social Security being mishandled in it being payed out to illegal immigrants and people that are over 120 years old ie dead etc. The Ponzi scheme he's talking about is the waste and fraud going on and how those paying into Social Security are getting ripped off because of it. What you're tuning into is taking a small snippet of what all Musk said, and then a partisan spin is put on it. Have you listened to the entire interview to hear everything Musk had to say in it, to go by where he's really at? Or are you only listening to partisan interpretations of it?Musk has said that "entitlement spending", eg, Social Security, needs to be cut. He's also described it as a Ponzi scheme, which is incorrect and demonstrate how he doesn't understand how it works. Social Security is a trust fund and doesn't count against the deficit.
In this interview, he says things that are factually incorrect, and amounts to "Great Replacement" conspiracy nonsense. He claims, falsely, that illegal immigrants receive Social Security and Democrats use that to essentially buy their votes. That's all lies. Social Security is a trust fund used to cover basic expenses for the disabled and the elderly. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for social security.
On Joe Rogan, Musk has made it clear that he views Social Security as just a Ponzi scheme, ignorant of how Social Security actually works:
