Denise Lite | DOGE and the Illogical Left

Since Elon Musk took the helm of the Department of Government Efficiency under Donald Trump’s second administration two months ago, protests against him have spiked — some escalating into violent acts like torching Tesla dealerships, shooting up showrooms, and trashing charging stations.

In Colorado, a woman hit a Tesla lot with Molotov cocktails; in Oregon, gunfire peppered a dealership; in Massachusetts, Superchargers burned.

These attacks, often by furious liberals over DOGE’s federal job cuts and Musk’s Trump alliance, aim to punish Musk. (Apparently liberals forgot that, according to Elaine Karmarck, the director of President Bill Clinton’s “Reinventing Government” initiative, Clinton eliminated 426,200 federal jobs during his tenure, but I digress.)

The liberal destruction of property makes little rational or economic sense when you weigh Tesla’s climate wins, the societal good from Musk’s other companies, and the self-inflicted wounds to regular people — especially those with pensions tied to Tesla’s success.

When conservatives disagree with a company, they refuse to drink their beer or buy their products. Democrats set cars and other property on fire. AGAIN.

In analyzing Musk’s contribution to the country, let’s start with Tesla itself. First, if these people damaging and torching cars REALLY believed in climate change, they would not be damaging EV cars and dealerships that they championed not long ago.

Some stats: There are over 4 million AMERICAN MADE........
