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.

    Musk has a point, though. The Cybertruck is extremely fragile, so pointing at it with your finger poses a significant risk and could even set it on fire.

      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.

    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.

    “It is time to arrest those funding the attacks,” he wrote. “Arresting their puppets and paid foot-soldiers won’t stop the violence.”

    Yes, very much so. It is high time we arrest those who are funding the violence against America.

    Who is responsible for the havoc we are suffering, again?

    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.

    Right. Point your finger at Cybertruck, highest government office in the land calls for your arrest. Run over protestors with your brodozer? Clear case of self defense.

    Get the fuck out of here.

    On one hand, I want to point even more at teslas now to piss him off. On the other hand, maybe this is exactly what he wants - people pointing at teslas.

    I’ll just go back to continue painting road runner murals.

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

    Never forget that Elon Musk has built his fortune on many many violations of the law, including SEC violations and breaking employment laws. This ghoul firmly believes that his is of a privileged class that is permitted to do this while you are not. He is a cancer in our society and deserves nothing but ridicule and punishment for the harm he feels entitled to inflict on the rest of us.

      This is incorrect.

      A ghoul behaves independently unto itself and for its own needs and survival. (Think The Walking Dead, The Last of Us). They can be clever, and are typically depicted as adaptive.

      I think the word you’re looking for is “zombie.” (Think necromancy, magically risen dead) They are essentially mindless controlled entities. Constructs. They cannot behave independently unto themselves or for their own needs.

      Elon is owned. Just like the rest of them. Everything he does is for the benefit of whatever entity that happens to control the static between his ears.

      He doesn’t even have to believe it, it’s been proven time and time again that he is part of a privileged class.
