The recent wave of vandalism against Tesla dealerships and its charging stations is criminal and deserves prosecution. However, to the millions of Americans who believe the attack on the U.S.
Capitol on Jan. 6 was justified because you believe the Big Lie or that the attackers who committed violence against police, defecated inside the building and called to “Hang Mike Pence” were just tourists out for a stroll, I call on you to look in the mirror. You have normalized this behavior by your defense of the indefensible, so long as it serves your interests.
Peaceful protest is the right of every American, and I agree with the basic reasons for the protests against Tesla as a means to strike back against the quite possibly illegal actions being taken by its billionaire owner, Elon Musk, and his minions at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. But once the first rock is thrown, protesters have lost the moral high ground. People are also reading.

As Musk continues to “move fast and break things,” destroying federal agencies and kneecapping their ability to deliver important services to Americans, they are incurring a righteous wrath. To Musk and those who feel sorry for him because Tesla is tanking, and with it a good part of his fortune, I would remind you of the prophetic words of what U.
S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh said in his opening statement in his 2018 confirmation hearing: “What goes around comes around.” Letters to the editor are encouraged.
