There are people vandalizing Tesla dealerships and charging stations. They are shooting guns into the dealerships. I am assuming they aren't open at the time or at least I have not heard of them being open at the time. They are also vandalizing Teslas owned by the public not just dealership owned cars. They are even posting personal information of Tesla owners which they say they will take down when they sell there Tesla. This is because they don't agree with what Elon Musk is doing with DOGE.
All of this seems very extreme and really kind of dangerous. I say dangerous because of the hazards of the batteries of EV vehicles catching fire. I understand there is the risk of them exploding which could put an innocent bystander at risk. I also remember during the CA fires it was mentioned extra care had to be taken cleaning up a site where an EV was found.
Thinking about all of this I am curious what peoples opinions are on this.

I have no love for Musk or Tesla, but vandalizing property that isn't yours is wrong.
People have a right to protest or withhold their business if they're not happy with a product or the person promoting it. It seems to me perfectly understandable that people would be unhappy with musk, and not just because of doge.
However, there's no excuse for extremist violence of this nature. Not against property or people. It seems to me to be completely unsupportable and plays into the hands of the people who are the targets. (Though there may come a time in the foreseeable future when fighting against the fascist ideologies and ideologists promoted by musk might become essential . . .)
Not American, but do not agree , and misses the mark. But it is ironic the White House, Trump and GOP touting purchasing EV's , while at same time killing legislation promoting EV's .
Lots of way to protest but damage, swatting, and the like does nothing. Things like not buying products, voicing an opinion, and non violent protest all good as long as you don't interfere with right of passage etc. I am looking at investments as well, if a mutual fund has Tesla I am writing them about it and looking for a new fund. 1 person won't change things but 1000s just might.
Its just the typical liberal losing their minds over DOGE. Do people not realize Elon is only doing what he is told? Soros has his money flowing again so it won't stop anytime soon.
Boycotting is one thing but committing a crime is not acceptable.
