Summary
A suspect vandalized and set fire to Teslas at a Las Vegas Collision Center early Tuesday in what police call a “targeted attack.”
The assailant, dressed in black, shot at five vehicles, torched two, and left an undetonated Molotov cocktail. They also spray-painted “Resist” on the building.
Authorities have not confirmed a political motive but noted Elon Musk’s ties to Trump. The FBI is investigating, warning that such acts are federal crimes.
Tesla has faced backlash amid Musk’s government role and far-right politics.
No it doesn’t that not how it works ugh…
We’re in this whole mess because people don’t think through their words and actions. Anyone advocating blindly going after anyone with a Tesla then you’re really no better then Musk.
On that note do I have the answers on how to fix this mess, no, but I know it’s not this.
Spoken like a true Enlightened Centrist.
Based on what? That I don’t want to burn random people’s cars? Yep you got me. Good one dude!
That is how it works in this case. Musk took loans backed by the value of his TSLA holding as collateral in order to fund his part of the twitter purchase. Value of TSLA drops enough, those loans get called.

I don’t know if we have enough visibility into how much he’s currently margined to know when he’s at risk of getting called again, but it doesn’t seem realistic to think that he’s not currently margined.
Old articles the deal has been refinanced a few times now. His expose is much lower now. Though yes two years ago this would have been correct.
Thank you for actually taking time to think out a response with relevant sources and not just name calling. This seems to be more rare than it should be. I wish more people were like that.
