German police said that four vehicles were set on fire in Berlin on Friday morning, and that political motives could not be ruled out.

      If it forces people to stop financially supporting Musk it might actually be a net positive for the environment.

    Did any of them have stickers like “I bought this before Elon became a Nazi?”

    My friend bought such a sticker for her car in Australia.

    Kinda strange that Tesla advertises them as electric vehicles when they burn so much gasoline. In my opinion, they should be fined for false advertising.

    I don’t understand the support for this. How is it that someone who’s bought what was - for years! - the best EV available, is getting in the crossfire of musk hate?

      Destroying private property in protest is just stupid. Take on the cooperations, but not the other 99% trying to get by.

      Well it’s one thing if you bought it a decade ago, before we all realized how much of an ass he is. It’s quite another if you bought it after the reality came out.

      I say this as someone that owns Starlink equipment, though the service is currently paused, with no plans to unpause it (since we can no longer work remotely, Elon). Unfortunately, Starlink is essentially the only option for remote internet service, but there are a lot of different vehicle options.

        So you bought your starlink in 2015 after which you reckon we should have known Musk was acting like a Nazi?

        10 years.

        He was maybe an arsehole 5 years ago. He wasn’t clearly Nazi until the lead up to the recent election
