Summary

Elon Musk condemned rising vandalism against Tesla, blaming the political left and suggesting a conspiracy against him.

He cited incidents of arson, gunfire, and property destruction at Tesla dealerships, linking them to protests against his work with DOGE.

Trump and the DOJ have labeled the attacks “domestic terrorism,” vowing arrests.

Some Tesla owners are selling their vehicles or adding bumper stickers distancing themselves from Musk, who defended Tesla as a “peaceful company,” saying “I’ve never done anything harmful.”

      There are just a ton of online tests now. Every time my wife and I take one, it says I’m definitely not on the spectrum but it tells my wife something along the lines of “you might want to get checked”. We don’t take that as a diagnosis though. I feel like this could possibly be another example of how we started seeing more left handed people in society after it was no longer stigmatized.

      I mean I’m no expert and I’m not going to paint in as big of brushstrokes, but after being diagnosed myself and after reading Unmasking Autism I feel more comfortable in discerning who does and doesn’t have it, and I don’t think he has it. I think he’s just lacking empathy.
