I'm glad were FINALLY Tackling the BIG ISSUES in PROTECTING the US!

NOT stopping School Shootings! NOT stopping Infant Mortality! NOT stopping Veteran Deaths and Suicides!

We're FINALLY stopping BEING MEAN TO BILLIONAIRES!

Finally eliminating civil rights and the rule of law to protect the property and wealth of the richest man to have ever lived!

That whole "especially the funders" bit makes me think they're going to start going after the wealthy who haven't bent the knee.

Okay hear me out. People who intentionally damage Teslas SHOULD go to jail.

Let's start with the Elon, who released a vehicle that is the most unsafe in modern history (17x more dangerous than the Ford Pinto, and is responsible for 5 fire related deaths SO FAR), and is averaging a new recall every 2 months since production.

With such classic hits as:

Faulty gas pedals causing "unintended acceleration"

Trim that can isn't glued on correctly and can fly off

Stainless steel that will rust

Font that is too small on warning signs

A truck that can't go through a car wash

Front single windshield wiper can fail leading to a loss in visibility

Bed panel trim can fall off

A cast plastic body and trailer hitch leading to catastrophic towing accidents

Backup camera won't display images correctly

Inverter failure causing a loss of power while driving

Tpms system failure

....And many more still to come!

Or is this not about crimes of "hurting Americans and hurting Teslas" and more about hurting a single billionaires sad little feelings?

TL;DR:

If you made even a single CyberTruck level fuck up at your job, you'd be fired the same day.

Your stock wouldn't rise, you couldn't buy your way out of jail, and you'd be completely screwed.

They say they want a meritocracy, but these Nazis are white privilege at it's finest thriving in an Idiocracy.

The richest man in the world ain't getting pity from me.
