Tesla faces backlash amid political tensions
Musk has been at the center of controversy, especially after Tesla’s market value dropped by $800 billion.
Following Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, Tesla stock initially surged. However, Musk’s role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency sparked major protests.
Boycotts erupted across the country.
Protesters targeted Tesla dealerships, with some incidents escalating to gunfire.
The White House lawn even became a Tesla showroom, with Musk calling vandals ‘domestic terrorists’ and vowing legal action.
Shocking act of Tesla vandalism caught on camera
On social media, a footage surfaced showed a man vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck in New York.
Jewish man Avi Ben Hamo discovered a swastika drawn on his vehicle. Stunned, he confronted the suspect and blocked his car from leaving.
Hamo immediately called 911. The suspect, later identified as 42-year-old Michael Lewis, abandoned his Subaru in a bike lane. He returned 90 minutes later, only to find police waiting for him.
Authorities charged Lewis with aggravated harassment, but the Brooklyn district attorney later dropped the charges.
His lawyer, Mark Luccarelli, claimed, “There was zero damage to the car. He did not commit a crime.”
Elon Musk takes aim at Subaru owners
Musk weighed in on the controversy. Posting on X, he wrote, “Crazy people. Naturally, he drives a Subaru …”
His comment triggered debate online. Some users defended Subaru owners, while others made jokes.
Elon Musk’s post quickly went viral and sparked discussion on social media.
Many defended Musk’s view, while others criticized him for generalizing Subaru owners. They argued that car preference does not determine political beliefs or behavior.
Ons person said: I’m not a Musk fan but vandalism is not ok
A second wrote: He might want to focus on running his companies Tesla is tanking right now.
While a third commented: Hey, all the farmers in my area voted for Trump and drive a Subaru because of the snow. Don’t put a hit out on innocent people.
Another added: I drive a Tesla Model S and a Subaru Forester. I’m at war with myself!
Someone else said: Wasting money! I pray that, by God’s grace, I make it so I can afford one someday.
Hamo speaks out against Tesla hate
Hamo remains disturbed by the incident.
He said, “People hating [Tesla owner] Elon Musk is one thing, but to do something like this is next level. I’m speechless. That’s just wrong.”
He continued, “I don’t understand how someone thinks because I bought a car it gives them the authorization to do this.”
Tesla vandalism on the rise
Reports suggest that Tesla vehicles are being targeted more frequently. Recently, another Cybertruck was egged and covered in dog waste.
Protesters have even posted signs encouraging others to throw dog waste at Teslas and Musk himself.
Despite the backlash, Musk remains focused on his work as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
