Originally published at: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ‘DOGE’ Subcommittee Rushed To Defend Elon Musk’s Car Company - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Tech billionaire Elon Musk’’s electric car company, Tesla, has faced a recent wave of protests, vandalism, and stock price drama related to anger over his “DOGE” efforts to reshape government agencies. But MAGA is coming to the company’s aid. President Trump on Tuesday delivered a sales pitch from the White House lawn. And, now, Rep.…
Yes, because there is nothing more important than assuaging muskrat’s hurt feelings because he is apparently no longer beloved by the citizens of this country.
Her power as a committee chair is being stolen by the day, but by all means let’s comfort the thief.

Boycott Tesla. More than that, do everything in your power to stigmatize Tesla. If there is a Tesla behind you, slow down. If there is a Tesla in front of you, speed up. If there is a Tesla beside you, maintain your speed until the left lane ends.
If there’s a Tesla parked in your parking lot, ticket it.
If there’s a Tesla belonging to your boss, egg it.
If there’s a Tesla that nobody has painted yet, paint it.

I have to be careful with this. My kids have one and I live on the property with my kids. I am staying out of this one, as I didn’t think they could afford it in the first place and voiced my opinion at the time.
To wit, they have lost their Canadian customer base to the tariffs so they are already feeling the pain and they didn’t vote for the first felon.

Well it’s possible that the anti-TESLA people are simply Patriots righteously upset that their government is being trashed by teenage mutant ketamine addicts and are in defense of The Constitution. Only one or two bad actors in the mob of Patriots, I’m sure. (that lame excuse worked for J6 criminals; sauce for the goose…)

Have I mentioned that I’m offering a free gallon of gas and a BIC Mini lighter to every owner of a Swasticar?
The fascist thing on four wheels.™
BTW Is anyone else wondering how much of damage driving those very heavy vehicles on the White(s Only) House lawn did to the sprinkler system? Not that it would be of concern to the Goodfer Pimp or anyone who regularly drives 2,000 lbs. golf carts onto the putting greens.

I suppose that putting the letter in the first person is MTG’s attempt to convince everyone that MTG can actually write sentences in English.

Speaking of off-the-rails imbeciles, allow me to summarize the deranged, demented babbling by Trump as he slurred his way through comments at his press conference with the Prime Minister of lreland this afternoon:
Ireland has treated us very unfairly and taken advantage of us, because transgender, everything is transgender now and that’s why I won the election in record numbers.
Ol’ Man Trumpo actually said this stuff — while sitting in front of the press with the leader of Ireland.
He’s gone full-blown dementia-patient now.

Many people who bought a Tesla did so because they wanted to be conscientious. It’s pretty hard to feel conscientious driving around in one of those things now.

There are much better, and less expensive, EVs available now.

There are amazing-quality electric, hybrids, and primary-electric hybrids available from Toyota and Honda and other established makers that look and perform 100 times better than any Tesla, and at a substantially lower price. Plus, they are actually backed by lengthy warranties and real service. Everything Teslas lack. It’s a mystery why anyone would ever buy one of those cheaply-made, cheap-looking pieces of crap, even before Musk went completely off the rails.

The president…has vowed harsh retribution against anyone who crosses his ally’s car company.
I’ve served for over 45 year in the military and law enforcement. The Felonious bast*rd has bought me to a spot I never thought would occur: Cheering on those who break the law.

“Another incendiary event occurred in Colorado . . . at a Tesla dealership, according to the Loveland Police Department.”
My home town since 2015.
There has been a growing protest on Saturday, noon to 2 p.m. every week for the past three weeks in front of the Tesla dealership. Two-hundred people last Saturday.

Just saw a report that Canada has been investigating Tesla for potentially fraudulent EV rebate payments
totaling tens of million of dollars, including certain Tesla dealers that claimed as many as 1900 sales in one day to take advantage of an expiring Canadian program at a time when Tesla sales were plummeting everywhere, and when their typical sales were 1% of that amount. Nothing has been proven yet, but it will be interesting to see what the investigation will reveal, and if Tesla might have been cooking the books and defrauding the Canadian government on top of all their other issues.
Could this be why the Musk/Trump administration picked a trade war fight with Canada seemingly out of nowhere?

The person bringing the most opprobrium down on Tesla is named Elon Musk. Not only has he allowed his company to produce unsafe cars he has also gravely damaged our democracy.

What kind of insurance coverage does Tesla have for the assorted damage to their sales outlets?
This is bullshit. People who are environmental activists own Teslas, purchased a few years ago or longer. Some of them purchased these cars beyond their means and need the cars for work and grocery shopping and such. Just stop it.
No new purchases of Teslas should be enough. Just stop this shit.
