There are some people who don’t belong in politics at all and Elon Musk is one of them. He simply does not get it. John McCain said, “This is not a nice business we’re in,” and Harry Reid said, “Politics has a feral quality to it,” and they made those statements long before Donald Trump showed up to prove the wisdom of them. Musk apparently thought that he could just buy the presidency, waltz into Washington and start dictating what would happen and POOF! 250 years of doing things one way would vanish and Elon would become an Olympian god, mocking all of us mortals for his sport. He’s used to a “my way or the highway” approach in business. Instead, the mortals are up in arms and going to Republican town halls, where they vent their spleen in no uncertain terms. And that is just the beginning.

Union people want to know what’s going on with their retirement funds, government workers are bereft that they’ve been fired for no reason (or forced out by other DOGE methods) and the future looks bleak for the hundreds of thousands of people who work for the United States Post Office. But Elon just can’t understand why any of this is getting under peoples’ skin — or why they lash out. Watch this and try to decide if Musk is more pathetic or more spaced out — or both. But in either event, what did the chainsaw swinging, Ketamine-stoned fool think was going to happen when he screwed with this many people all at once?

That is about the size of it. I live in Las Vegas, the scene of a recnt Tesla firebombing in the wee hours today. Apparently the perpetrator was throwing molotov cocktails into the Teslas and then shooting out the glass for good measure. Damn. This dude (Fox News in Las Vegas reports it was a male) was angry. So don’t look at me, I’m in no shape to go blow up Teslas in the middle of the night. I just sit on the couch and blog.

And the Tesla hate isn’t limited to Vegas. Kansas City had firebombings also. And there were other attacks in other cities.

  • A handful of Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood overnight, causing significant damage on March 10. The incident, CBS News reported, comes in the wake of nationwide protests at Tesla facilities in protest of Elon Musk’s role in President Donald Trump’s Administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
  • In February, CBS News Chicago reported a man named Ed, parked on Lakeshore Drive, found his blue Tesla vandalized with the white spray-painted letters “F-Elon.”
  • In March, in Oregon, the windows of a dealership were shattered by bullets.
  • That same week, a Tesla charging station about an hour outside of Boston went up in flames.

Several international incidents have also been aimed at Musk and/or Tesla. Two environmental activists poured orange liquid latex over Elon Musk’s Tesla Optimus robot at a store in London on March 12, according to CBS News. Those two people were taken away by the authorities in handcuffs.

It does seem to be a widespread pattern. And of course Elon suspects coordinated activity. I assume that the name of the 94-year-old Mr. Soros has come up. Give that poor man a break.

I wonder if it has simply never occurred to Elon that he’s a repulsive son of a bitch and between his own persona and weird antics, and the havoc he’s wreaking in Washington with peoples’ lives, he’s made his company a target?

And the company has a lot more issues than simply having a few cars in stock blown up. The real issue is the stock market.

Um….I’m no broker but that doesn’t look like a positive trend. In fact, it rings a bell…..oh yeah! The last time I saw this was in 2022 when Musk blew $44B on Twitter, it’s all coming back now. And how much is Twitter worth today? Would you believe 9.4B? A mere shadow of itself. That is a lotta bread to lose in two and a quarter years.

Elon, if you’ve never heard of FAFO, then look up this acronym: ETTD. You’re at the effect of both now. I’d say lotsa luck but frankly, I’m more than content to watch you fall on your pompous ass. This is the Peter Principle on steroids.
