And I thought they were supposed to be shying away from fossil fuels.

      Everyone acting like it’s okay to throw eggs at billionaires’ yachts because of wealth inequality. Then you should have no argument against rich kids throwing caviar at homeless shelters because they disapprove of being asked to share. Just saying.

        What an infinitely stupid response. The proportion of rich people owning a Tesla with respect to all Tesla owners is vanishingly small. When you burn a Tesla of an uninvolved person, you are costing them tens of thousands of currency and are probably destroying their only car.

          Ah yes, the tragic wave of innocent Tesla owners having their daily drivers ritually torched by angry mobs. Definitely a real thing, definitely not just a few dealership lots going up in smoke under extremely convenient circumstances. Definitely not insurance fraud from a company that’s hemorrhaging value and propped up by enough tax subsidies to fund a small nation. Let’s all clutch our pearls and act like someone’s grandma just lost her only ride to church. You good, or do you need a GoFundMe for your imagination?

      One holds human beings in distress, and the other a garbage vehicle. Your comment is disgusting and shows how you value life.

        I agree. It’s a false equivalency.

        It’s super similar to the idea behind the original tea party. They didn’t do insane shit like burn down buildings with people inside, they tossed tea into the water. If we could do something similar, I’m sure we would.

          Do you know what? No, you obviously don’t, and it’s sad.

          I wish that you would see the fallacy of your argument, but a cult of personality has you captured.

          Empathy and reading a room are not some of your strengths.

          Good day.
