The public’s compulsive contempt of Elon Musk has reached a new stage of lunacy. The war against Musk and Tesla has now turned violent, with retailers being firebombed and lorries being vandalized. But now the same people who constantly screech about culture shift want to knee the most powerful electric car maker in history because its CEO doesn’t reveal their political views.  ,

In New York, a Democrat senator is really trying to boycott Tesla from selling vehicles directly to consumers.  ,
State Sen. Pat Fahy (D-Albany ) isn’t even trying to hide her Elon Derangement Syndrome-fueled vendetta. ” No matter what we do, we’ve got to take this from Elon Musk”, she declared, showing specifically how petty and cruel Democrats can be when somebody doesn’t leg their intellectual range.
Tesla has been safely operating five direct-sales spots in New York since 2014. But Tesla is suddenly “problematic”, because Musk leads Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ).  ,
Let’s be clear about what’s happening these: Tesla dominates the EV business. The Tesla Model Y is the most common car in the world. And Democrats, when extreme advocates of electric vehicles, are going to battle against Tesla because Orange Man negative.
Tesla also sells more electrical vehicles in the U. S. and New York than any other company. The company eschews the standard shop concept of selling cars through second parties via brand partnerships. Rather, Tesla sells directly to consumers.
In some states, vehicle franchise laws limit this strategy. In New York, Tesla was allowed to continue operating five sites to market directly to consumers under a package with agents in 2014. The state’s strong car dealers want to totally ban Tesla’s design.

The post notes that” Fahy in earlier times championed legislation to completely lift restrictions on direct selling by Vehicle makers”, because she “wanted to see electric car sales take off to reduce pollution in New York and help achieve the state’s climate goals”.
But for the murder of linking with Trump, she’s flip-flopped. ” Tesla has lost their right to advertise these when they’re portion of an administration that wants to get backward”, Fahy admitted.
This isn’t just happening in New York.  ,
The Musk issue played a role in declining help for a bill to help direct sales in Connecticut. A measure to stop Tesla’s ability to sell to consumers was introduced in Washington status along with one to help other EV companies to set up shop, but neither is expected to move ahead this year.
Fahy’s proposal would still cap the number of direct sales locations for EV manufacturers at five but would prohibit Tesla from continuing to operate after July 2026.
So I guess the domestic terrorism and vandalism wasn’t enough. Democrats in government want to abuse their power to cripple Tesla as a business. It’s true. Left-wing lawmakers and advocates have been pressuring pension funds to divest from Tesla as a way to show their antipathy toward Musk.  ,
The whole thing reeks of political persecution. These Democrats are perfectly fine with direct-to-consumer sales—they’ve supported expanding them in the past —until suddenly Musk commits the unforgivable sin of working with Trump. Now they’re falling all over themselves to hand control back to traditional dealerships, all while pretending it’s about preventing “billionaire market concentration”.

Meanwhile, President Trump has shown what real leadership looks like, hosting a White House lawn vehicle purchase event to support Tesla while Democrats throw their tantrum. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: Republicans supporting American innovation and jobs, Democrats destroying businesses because of personal vendettas.
The message is clear: in Democrat-controlled states, your business’s right to operate depends entirely on whether you have the” correct” political views. So much for their supposed support of green energy and innovation.  ,
