Summary

Elon Musk called for arrests after posting a video on X showing a confrontation between women and a Tesla Cybertruck driver.

In the video, a woman pointed at the vehicle, prompting the driver to yell threats while the crowd chanted "Shame!"

Another woman called the driver a Nazi.

Musk claimed the incident was part of broader attacks and urged authorities to arrest those funding such actions, saying targeting only “puppets and paid foot-soldiers” would not stop the violence.

I am still waiting on my soros bux for hating on trump in 2016

That's right. Setting fire to Teslas is OK so long as you do it for free!

Idk about you, but I had the best first IRL interaction. I love an a small town and had one pull up to me at a stop light. I immediately started belly laughing, and my shit carries even when I don't intend it. Heard some sort of quick beep almost immediately when I started. I hope I see myself online someday.

Good job editing the part of your comment where you called me a liar.

What kind of lameass story is that?

Quit screwing around and flip them off like a proper adult.

Naw this actually happened I assure you. Pretty sure I still got the dash cam footage, but you're just going to hear the laughter and beep.

But you know, good job sounding like a dick. You must be a blast at social gatherings.

Edit for the cynics https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc

Why would I lie about something like this?

Won't be holding my breathe waiting for to apologize prick 🖕

Oh shit OP delivered guys.

It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I've seen video evidence that's actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I watched it after posting and figured out it was the cop probably giving him a compliment. If you keep watching you see a sheriff in the far right lane two lights later. But I only had my driver side windows down so it reflected off the side of the cyber truck.
