    There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism.”

    Keep in mind that it’s completely reasonable to suspect that at least some of these are false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to justify arresting innocent protesters or eventually declaring martial law.

            Chances that a US 3 letter agency has conducted clandestine operations within the country (aimed at misleading it’s own populace) in the past 5 years are pretty much a certainty.

            Speculation is pretty much all one can do for these because the evidence is deliberately and professionally hidden. Such evidence may never be available to the public and usually takes time to surface.

              That’s an assumption you’re making and then simply declaring to be self-evident.

              It is not.

              And there it is, the conspiracy theorist’s bread and butter.

                It’s self evident to anyone who reads the things that have been released regarding past events.

                The US government has consistently relied on misleading it’s populace as a tactic. If you genuinely don’t believe this and want examples to digest with an open mind, id be glad to throw some out.

                  Only if they’re related to this claim.

                  You can’t use “other things have happened” to make any damn claim you want. This is conspiracy bullshit.

    I’m trying to populate my bingo card. So far I have “TSLA Tanks” and “Martial Law Declared.” It feels like cheating to include “Musk does a cringey thing” and “Trump says something stupid” but I’ll keep them in the backup pile.

      One of those is actually two possible outcomes. There’s TSLA Tanks (the stock) and TSLA Tanks (TSLA becomes an arms dealer), and they aren’t mutually exclusive.
