Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷‍♂️

Man, if I had the poor luck/foresight to have purchased a Tesla earlier, I would be driving like the politest mofo in existence these days.

I'd set it on fire and make an insurance claim.

We know that Teslas sometimes just catch fire on their own.

We also know that sometimes Tesla drivers will set their cars on fire themselves on purpose. Because of that...

We also know that Elon has a backdoor into all Teslas.

Now ask yourself which is more likely, the woke liberal crybabies actually causing violence or a drug addled and politically embattled CEO of a company that lost 50% of its value in the past 3 months creating a false flag to villainize the left and get insurance to cover damage to the vehicles he can't sell?

/s (kind of)

Given Elons history, it's definitely possible.
