From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Craig Rucker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Left is torching electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can the news get any more bizarre?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right, the same folks who scolded that the world will \u201cburn\u201d unless the government forces every one of us to buy an EV or stop driving, are now torching the world\u2019s best EVs with Molotov cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh?\u201d asked bemused Daily Show<\/em> host Jordan Klepper<\/a> when his audience hooted, cheered and applauded a news clip reporting \u201cmultiple cases of possible arson targeting Teslas and cyber trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could it be that the anti-America, anti-capitalist Left\u2019s obsession with electric vehicles was never about saving the planet at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, America\u2019s top entrepreneur, brought us reusable rockets, internet for all, amazing A.I., robots that actually work, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon just rescued Butch and Suni, two astronauts who were stranded on the I.S.S. for over nine months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EVs were nowhere until Elon showed the world, they could be amazingly innovative and incredibly cool.\u00a0Tesla EVs may very soon be fully self-driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making EVs cool was a tall achievement considering that EVs suffer from short range, long charging times, heavy weight, prohibitive expense, batteries that burn uncontrollably and require scarce rare earths that are too often mined under appalling circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite those challenges, Elon\u2019s Tesla is now mass producing electric vehicles that are solid choices for some.  They are not the best choice for all.  Elon\u2019s cool with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d think the Left would be erecting monuments to the man who made their EV dreams come true.\u00a0 Nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Protesters used a Tesla EV to carve \u201cDON\u2019T BUY A TESLA\u201d\u00a0<\/a>onto a beach in Wales.\u00a0 They included an image of a man extending his arm out straight.\u00a0 This, despite the bizarre notion that Elon telling an audience that his heart goes out to them was somehow an authoritarian salute, has been\u00a0massively debunked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesla was removed from the Vancouver International Auto Show the day before it opened, reports The CBC.<\/strong><\/a>  Organizers cited \u201csafety\u201d concerns.  Tesla vehicles have also been removed from Vancouver\u2019s EV subsidy program<\/a>.  \u201cSafety\u201d is frequently the rationale employed to justify institutions retaliating against free speech and has been used to silence speakers on college campuses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Governor and former V.P. candidate Tim Walz has been celebrating<\/a> the recent drop in Tesla\u2019s stock price.  As if rooting against an important company that created 80,000 American jobs was not bad enough, Walz and the Left\u2019s cheering against Telsa requires shamelessly cherry picking their stock data.  Tesla stock may be down from the high it achieved in January resulting from the \u201cTrump bump,\u201d but remains up nearly 34% over the last year and 18,000% since it went public!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Left cannot forgive Elon for bringing free speech to X\/Twitter, endorsing President Trump, and now for applying his unmatched talent to rooting out waste and making government more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Congressman Wesley Hunt put it<\/a>, \u201cMusk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk, Musk Musk.  What\u2019s funny about it to me is, you\u2019re mad at the guy that found the fraud, but not mad at the people who wasted YOUR money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
