> So are we really going down the road of telling people "Hey just buy a new car" whenever yours is politically inconvenient? Can't things be exceptional? "Inconvenient" seems to go very far in diminishing what's happening here, and I think your point would come across very differently without the understatement. Is there really no line he could cross where you would stop calling his politics an "inconvenience" and support direct actions being taken? (Not necessarily this action in particular) I understand the stigma is painful but I would implore you to consider how that pain affects your outlook and perhaps makes you feel more sympathy for the company than you otherwise would.

The only people who think this is more than "politically inconvenient" are terminally online and aren't really seeing reality for what it is. The people pushing for vandalism of these vehicles are way worse than Elon has ever been.

  > way worse than Elon has ever been Seriously? Vandalizing innocent people's property is wrong, but ransacking government institutions is far worse and much more consequential. There's an order of magnitude difference in the number of victims and the ways in which they're affected, which includes death. Death, you ask? Gutting health agencies, pollution regulators, or international efforts to prevent the spread of disease will all lead to increased numbers of death. However, it seems that when the scale of the crime outgrows a certain threshold, the perceived severity goes down somehow. It's depressing.

  Tell that to the thousands who have lost their jobs in careers they no longer feel comfortable pursuing. Claiming only those who are "terminally online" think this is more than inconvenient is an amazing display of either privilege or not giving a crap. Either way, lol calling kettle.

  And the only people who begin an argument with an ad hominem understand they have no argument at all. I don't believe that the people who are dying in Ukraine after Starlink pulled out struggled to see reality as the bombs fell. I don't believe that all of the "parasites" as Musk calls them were terminally online before they lost their social security. I'm sure the many veterans he made jobless had a good dose of reality on the battlefield while serving the US. I don't believe that the leaders of so many countries in Europe and America are spending all of their time doomscrolling and I don't think Germany is starting investigations into electoral fraud on the basis of something they saw being terminally online. And is this worse than what he's done? There are no calls for vandalism, it's only personal details. There was no threat implied wegen he shared the personal details of the daughter of a judge he disagreed with with millions of people right?
