I have zero evidence Musk ordered the Tesla vandalism. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how surprised I'd be to find out he had.
I'd be surprised if he did. He sees Teslas as an extension of himself. Which is why it's so very effective at upsetting him whenever people do stuff like this.

Surely it was a glitch that set the Teslas on fire themselves and no one was involved.
I have never, and will never, see anyone vandalize a Tesla. 🙈
Very fucking GOOD.
"Resist" is a tired slogan of the paid-to-lose Democrats, and the last time I saw it surface as "angry-Leftist vandalism" in pluto-fash corporate media propaganda, it turned out to be a Republican trying to cover up insurance fraud. They are too incurious to understand the difference between antifa and liberals.
Kool-aid-drinking Tesla dealers are losing their shirts because Glorious Leader locked them into bad contracts and is now poisoning the brand; they have AMPLE incentive to destroy their own property and play victim.
I don't care who burns 'em. So long as they're burnt.
As a reminder, Tesla is "direct to consumer" and the "dealership" is corporate owned!
So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it's a conspiracy by them.
But that's what they'd say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

Gasoline powered vehicles have to be sold through dealerships, but of course Musk doesn't like to follow the law and nobody stops him. Just like how 'ride shares' pretended to be sharing rides but were just cabs with extra steps.

In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”
OK buddy.
The cars suck, but he's right that the company hasn't done anything to deserve this. He's the one who chose to make himself the face of Tesla, though, so however people feel about him, they'll feel about any business he owns.
Terrorism, though? Hardly. It's protest. He's the one doing terrorism by dismantling the government.
Terrorism, though? Hardly.
Pretty much the definition of terrorism. Doesn't necessarily make it wrong.
That's what was so terrifying about the Patriot Act for so long.
