I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I'm kind of on the fence about it.

I've seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that's worth less than scrap.

I think people would be a surprised at how many companies are owned or run by despicable people. If you didn't buy anything from any of them, your shopping habits would be incredibly constrained. The only difference between musk and the others is that he is louder.

Plus that he is the richest man alive by far. Plus that he is promoting the far-right in Europe. Plus that he did a Nazi salute.

It's a really good point that I hardly ever see brought up. I was alluding to it with my other replies re: "what do you drive?"

Alarming amount of vehicles on the road today literally exist due to the ww2 nazi regime and nobody cares because those rich people are smart and they don't talk about it.

Considering there are untold thousands of companies, that couldn't possibly be true.

Yes, but quietly.
