Years ago Elon Musk started Tesla as a way to help lower emissions while Democrats applauded him for joining the push to address the climate change they said was an existential threat to humanity.
Fast forward a few years and we have a Democrat senator trading in his Tesla for a gas-powered SUV while leftist activists are setting the vehicles on fire.
The attacks on Tesla dealerships, the EVs and some of those who drive them is nothing short of domestic terrorism, but it's still continuing:
The Tesla attacks are getting worse.

Arson. Molotov cocktails. Bouts of gunfire.
This isn't new. The Left has used violence as a political tool for decades.
Only one thing can stop this. In the words of Pat Buchanan: "Force, rooted in justice, and backed by moral courage." 🧵 pic.twitter.com/hajT2vFJ5c
Something is fundamentally broken in our society if people think that the way to protest against @elonmusk is by setting Teslas on fire.

This man hunted down a woman driving a Tesla, but her off, and then got out to threaten her while shouting she’s driving a “Na*i car.”

This is what left-wingers are inciting, and it’s coming from the very top.

Somebody tell that guy threatening the woman that the "Na*i" call is coming from inside his own house.
But the Justice Department can call off the investigations, because The New Republic has a hot take that has already solved the caper about who's to blame for what's happening with Tesla:

These people couldn't be more predictable.

I’d been under the impression that this was called “Victim Blaming” https://t.co/JcJcUGuo96 pic.twitter.com/5dQZr0rDGL

This is victim blaming writ large:
It makes sense that people are taking their anger out on Tesla. With Trump’s blessing, Musk is sending legions of asocial goons out to take a sledgehammer to basic government functions. Aside from the threats he poses to things Medicaid, Social Security, and lots of other things that keep people alive, Musk is also an unnerving guy to have to pay attention to: an unseemly, anti-charismatic, profoundly unfunny pest with a thin skin and a penchant for substances that exacerbate his most annoying qualities. As a “special government employee” he is also broadly unaccountable. Whereas most of us will never get the chance to yell at Musk face-to-face, we may well see a Tesla driving down the highway or parked on the street. Protests against Tesla are of a piece with boycotts against companies like Amazon and Target for rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion measures, along with heated Tea Party-style protests at town halls against Republicans (for furthering Trump’s agenda) and Democrats (for not doing more to stop it).
The story claims that the people who have organized the anti-Tesla protests have denounced the vandalism and arson, but personally I have only seen people either cheering it on or approving in a "wink wink" kind of way.
Violence-supporting victim blaming, for “progress.” https://t.co/O7DcjB5WeD

I'm so happy you morons have found your new BLM 2.0 slogans!https://t.co/graMQy4Zya
These are the same people who think "social justice" can be achieved by burning down grocery stores and pharmacies.

The left is exactly who we think they are and this is who they have always been.
They're just not hiding it anymore. They WANT another Luigi Mangioni. https://t.co/jpgZfCqVBk
There have been at least two assassination attempts on Trump, he was shot once, and now Teslas are being torched, dealerships shot at and vandalized while drivers of the EVs are being intimidated, and the Left wants everybody to think the conservative side is the public threat.
