'Who Killed The Electric Car?' The 'Woke Mind Virus,' Apparently

Violence, public displays of outrage are typical of the progressive omnicause

Anyone who was alive and aware in 2006 may remember Who Killed the Electric Car?, a documentary by environmental activist Chris Payne which frames the experimental EV1 car of the 1990s as the victim of a conspiracy by automotive manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry.

Two years after the film premiered to the acclaim of climate activists, the Tesla Roadster drove onto the scene. For a brief period, electric vehicles became more common on the American road. It seemed that a new era of electrified automotive transportation was at hand. A clean, green energy future beckoned.

But something funny happened on the way to electric car utopia. Elon Musk, the innovator behind Tesla, had a child who fell into the pediatric sex change cult. Reacting to what he now saw as the “woke mind virus” of the progressive omnicause, he purchased Twitter, transforming it into X.

Then he supported Trump in the election, won, and used his new influence to shut down government slush funds for media quangos. These unforgiveable sins have inspired acts of domestic terrorism against Tesla vehicles, lots, and charging stations “in at least nine states” by 21 March, when the FBI issued a press release.

These incidents have involved arson, gunfire, and vandalism, including graffiti expressing grievances against those the perpetrators perceive to be racists, fascists, or political opponents. These criminal actions appear to have been conducted by lone offenders, and all known incidents occurred at night.

Individuals require little planning to use rudimentary tactics, such as improvised incendiary devices and firearms, and may perceive these attacks as victimless property crimes.

Put another way, angry cowards are committing these crimes. They are primarily concerned with telling Tesla owners how terrible they are for driving Teslas. Apart from scheming to get away with it, the perpetrators are not really planning things out in detail, if at all.
