“The real problem is not like the crazy guy that firebombs a Tesla dealership, it’s the people pushing the propaganda that cause that guy to do it,” he continued.

“The president has made it clear, we are going to go after them. The ones providing the money. The ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we’re going after them,” Musk claimed. “I think there’s some real evil out there. We have to overcome it.”

This statement means that U.S. Citizens no longer have Constitutional rights.

I think that people firebombing Tesla dealerships is genuinely hilarious and awesome. The only bad thing about it is when they don't take sufficient precautions and then end up arrested. Anyone doing such a thing should definitely make sure to leave their phone at home, and make sure they aren't identifiable on camera either at the scene or traveling to/from it.

If they get caught because they brought their phone with them to do crime...tbh I'm ok with them getting caught. Like I hope they get out and fireball more Teslas, but damn they dumb.

I just can't abide that level of stupid

Nah, there's people with heart that just lack awareness of the extent of the modern surveillance state.

I'm pretty sure 1984 is a banned book. So most people aren't aware of how to doublethink and to the extent big brother has control over communication devices.
