‘Journalists’ and their fellow Democrats can’t seem to differentiate between legitimate protest, violent crime, and terrorism when it comes to torching Tesla dealerships or Tesla vehicles. Enter Kevin O’Leary. He lowered the boom on CNN Wednesday night. Even if you disagree that it’s terrorism (spoiler: it’s terrorism), it’s at the very least violent crime.
Here’s an excerpt. (READ)
Kevin O’Leary delivers a harsh reality check to Tesla car burners: You’re going to “rot in hell in prison.”
“And frankly, as far as I’m concerned, that’s okay,” he said.
O’Leary left no room for debate, making it clear that there’s zero justification for the destruction:
“When you set a car on fire, you should go to jail. You’re a criminal. And I don’t think we have to talk about it in any other context.”
He also had a blunt message for those thinking they’ll get away with it:
“And all those cars have cameras in them, and those dealerships have cameras. You’re beyond being stupid when you do that... You’re going to spend five to 20 years in prison. If they get them on terrorism—which I think is a stretch—there will be no parole, no shortened sentence. They’ll rot in hell in prison for 20 years. And frankly, as far as I’m concerned, that’s okay.”
Here’s the full exchange. (WATCH)

A crime is a crime, no matter how you spin it. O’Leary nailed it:

Yes, crime is crime. We hope the perps get locked away for a long time.
But, this moves beyond crime. It’s politically motivated and meant to intimidate people from purchasing or driving Tesla vehicles. As discussed on a recent episode of the Timcast, these attacks meet the definition of terrorism. (WATCH)
Yes, what's going on with Tesla is terrorism:

It is Domestic Terrorism

Sounds like a clear case of terrorism to me.

We agree.
It’s common sense, one’s right to protest does not give one the right to damage property. These commenters agree.
Destruction of private property is not protected under the Constitution as protesting.

Exactly. I think O’Leary is wrong to dismiss terrorism as a stretch. It seems like a perfectly reasonable charge to me.

I don’t think he’s as much dismissing it as much as that it might not get pursued as hard by prosecutors.
— Squallstrike - Absurdity Unparalleled (@Squallstrike) March 20, 2025
Agree. This appears to be a well coordinated effort to intimidate and not just random acts of destruction of property.

Imagine being targeted cause you own a Tesla? This is beyond vandalism.

It’s politically motivated violence. It’s terrorism and should be charged as such in a federal court of law. Hopefully, once someone is convicted it will act as a deterrent to other would-be Tesla-targeting terrorists. Until then, it will probably continue to escalate as Democrats stand on the sidelines refusing to condemn it.
