Rican Menace (@Frankieusn1987) ~ Finally, some accountability. For weeks, these anti-Tesla attacks have been escalating—Molotov cocktails, arson, gunfire, vandalism—and now, one of these criminals is facing real consequences. How many more are out there, and who’s funding them? 🚨🔥

This is just one in a series of Tesla-specific crimes across the U.S. Groups have been targeting Tesla dealerships, vehicles and charging stations. They’ve burned cars, trucks, and chargers plus caused property damage all because Elon Musk is working with President Donald Trump.
Commenters say these violent attackers are not the smartest people.
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ And he caught himself on fire! 😂 These people are truly the stupidest people in our society.
TechSignals (@TechSignalsonX) ~ When your “protest” ends with you setting yourself on fire, maybe it’s time to rethink your life choices.
EverIntrugued (@EverIntrigued) ~ Imagine being that stupid — you throw Molotovs at a Tesla location, and now you're looking at 20 years behind bars. Actions have consequences, and this guy just learned that the hard way.
