We're seeing the leftists getting crazy with more terrorism against Tesla and Elon Musk this week, including with Molotov cocktails and a shooting at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas, with "resist" written on the window. The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is now investigating.
Resisting what? Sanity? Trying to reduce waste and fraud in government?
Part of the problem is that we're seeing this get a "wink and a nod," as my colleague Jennifer Oliver O'Connell notes, from folks like Jimmy Kimmel.
But maybe what was an even more concerning reaction were the outright cheers you hear from "The Daily Show" audience that even surprised co-host Jordan Klepper when the show played a montage of some of the terrorism. This is incredibly vile.

OK but why blow up a Tesla when you can just wait for it to self-explode? pic.twitter.com/YUtJUS4IRI

Klepper responded, "Wow, you guys like petty acts of domestic terrorism, huh?" And they again cheered in agreement.
Klepper said, "Nobody should be breaking the law and blowing up Teslas." But then he joked, "Because if you just wait a few minutes, they’ll probably just do it by themselves." Then he said that if you wondered why they might do this, "some have been leaving helpful messages," noting the profanity, the swastika, and "Nazi scum."
Uh, no, those aren't "helpful" — those are leftist lies that have helped to whip up this insanity against Musk.
It's also nuts that the show posts that on X with a joke. It's not funny.
They're cheering the effort to hurt someone who's doing all he can to help the country, cutting waste and abuse. He should be cheered and celebrated, not attacked.
They're cheering, attacking an American company with thousands of American employees. Not to mention attacking cars owned by Americans, many of whom are probably Democrats. All because they think it's the "thing to do" — the latest leftist object of hate, with no sense of morality or law, or care for any of the people who might be hurt. And likely, it's some of the same people who, a couple of years ago, would have been rushing out to buy a Tesla if they could to virtue signal about fighting climate change. And now folks on the left seem to have forgotten all about that.
Elon Musk termed it "super messed up."

That's kind, frankly. It's evil, and it's criminal, and they're the ones acting like fascists when they are trying to terrorize their political opponents.
Here's former Democrat NY Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who left the Democrats because they became too extreme. He became a Republican.
If the applause in this clip is not artificial, it should scare the hell out of any sane American. Whatever your feelings about Elon are, everyone- left right or center needs to recognize the awful nature and dangerous road many in this country are walking down.
