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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

          Now 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.

                Oh shit OP delivered guys.

                It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I’ve seen video evidence that’s actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.

                  Yeah, I watched it after posting and figured out it was the cop probably giving him a compliment. If you keep watching you see a sheriff in the far right lane two lights later. But I only had my driver side windows down so it reflected off the side of the cyber truck.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I wonder what he’s going to call for when he sees what else people have been pointing at them?
