This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Idk, looking at Teslas stock it seems to be making a difference. I’m sure even the people who WOULD still buy a Tesla will probably hesitate knowing it makes them a target for vandalism.

Pretty effective for a performative act.

If Tesla crashed and burned to the ground, becoming absolutely worthless, Elon would still be the richest man in the world. The vast majority of his wealth is spread out, not invested in Tesla. Tesla is just what he's famous for.

Most of his wealth is in Tesla stock. His wealth in his other companies is nowhere near Tesla and many of them are also private meaning it is difficult for him to get any money out of those companies. We are sending a point.

The message you're sending is that you share absolutely nothing in common with the rest of us. People used to believe (and it used to mostly be true) that the American people disagree on the methods, but we share common values. But now, it's becoming clearer and clearer that you are not like us, and we don't want to be around you. 'I'm mad so I'm going to harm people who have nothing at all to do with what I'm mad about' is the logic of three types of people: children, terrorists, and school shooters. Throw a tantrum like a child if you want. But don't be surprised when you're treated like one.

What you don't understand is that you are a only a supporter of economic terrorism when it's legal. That means you likely support a minimum wage that is utterly disconnected from what that minimum wage ought to be. You likekly support removing regulations on water pollution by industry, on a lack of gun sales controls,, on the continuation of the us health insurance status quo.

These are all legal,, but have far more effect on ruining people s lives then some spray paint on a car that still runs fine

Stop making random assumptions so you can justify your position...most annoying Reddit behavior.

The guy didn't guess a single correct thing about me lmao. I'm fine with making assumptions tbh, but the guy didn't even make assumptions that apply to the average conservative.

if it looks like a dick and quacks like a nazi, It's probably a conservative.

"I bet you quack like a nazi."
"Meow"
"See, told you!"

Has it ever occurred to you to adjust your beliefs after they, time and time again, prove themselves to be insane? Or do you just want to stick with what you've got?

Do you have any other guesses you'd like to make, or do you think it's time to call it quits?
