Elon Musk: Don’t Like Teslas? Fine—But You Don’t Have to Burn Them Down

Elon Musk: I totally understand if somebody doesn't want to buy our cars, but you don't have to burn them down.

“Isn't it shocking how much violence and hatred is coming from the left? They claim to be the party of empathy, and yet they're burning Teslas and shooting up dealerships and calling for the death of the President and me.

I'm like, guys, you know, this is insane. They've gone psycho. I totally understand if somebody doesn't want to buy our product, it's up to you, it's a free country, but you don't have to burn it down. That's somebody else's car. Leave it alone.”
