Last week 404 Media reported a website called ‘Dogequest’ was doxing Tesla owners. The site administrators appear to have launched a clone of the interactive map on the dark web too.
I fundamentally disagree with doxing regular people. It’s one thing if it’s a public figure who is actively antagonizing people and using anonymity as a layer of protection against repercussions for their awful acts. But publishing the names and addresses of people who simply bought a car is not something we should be doing.
Isn’t this just class infighting though, something completely against the benefit of the workers so the owners can continue to pick our pockets while we aren’t looking?
But the bottom line is the owner of the company they are supporting is a NAZI who bought a presidency and is deconstructing our government and illegally firing thousands of Americans.
If you continue to drive/buy Teslas, you are supporting that Nazi and empowering him to do more damage to our country.
First, Teslas are not luxury cars, haha. You could buy one for $35,000 USD right now, and their build quality is significantly subpar of luxury.
To the main point - look, I get it, the CEO is a Nazi and fuck anyone who buys or bought a Tesla recently, but punishing a working class citizen with a 5 year old car and telling them they need to take a loss and cough up for a new vehicle is extremely stupid and naive.
I sure hope you dont own a Volkswagen, as it’s a symbol of Nazism.
Luxury doesn’t imply quality. Plenty of luxury items are worthless trash, and it’s pretty clear that a main reason for their price dive is to do with context more than the product.
but punishing a working class citizen with a 5 year old car
Is this something that is actually happening? Or is this a hypothetical edge case that assumes anti-Tesla activists are ignorant?

The post you are literally in is discussing a dark-web site that is publishing the names and addresses of all of the people currently own Teslas. This is not hypothetical.
Because everyone is rich like you and can afford to just buy a new car because some CEO revealed himself to be an evil cunt. You are so out of touch it hurts my head. If folks like you are the majority of the people on the anti-musk side we are so very destined to lose this war. So discouraging, ugh. We have no chance at all with that mindset.

Lol. Buddy, I can’t even afford a Tesla. And yes, if by owning a specific vehicle I was supporting a FUCKING NAZI who bought a presidency and was deconstructing the democracy I live in and firing my fucking friends from their federal jobs, you better bet your ass I’d do something about it. Like selling that fucking car and getting another one.
Sometimes you have to grow a pair of balls and do the right thing, even if it inconveniences you. And no one who owns a Tesla is in a position to be massively inconvenienced by getting rid of it.
Not sure if you noticed, but it’s 2025, not 1938. Yeah, Volkswagon fucked up by supporting Nazis almost a century ago. The Tesla thing is happening NOW. Volkswagon is not the same company it was almost a century ago, just like I’m sure Tesla won’t be the same company almost a century from now, when the fucking Nazi that runs it is dead. Volkswagon is also highly responsible for the much, much safer 3-point seatbelt being standardized. So they’ve made positive contributions.
It’s not moronic, you are literally suggesting burning random people’s cars because the manufacturer is a nazi. I pointed out another example of such a manufacturer, and you have a problem with it.
Or if you want to be like that, how about just all classical voltswagons.
It is, because the arrow of time moves forward and you’re talking about a company a century ago vs. now as if literally nothing has changed about that company or the rest of the world around it in that time.
If it was 1938 right now, I’d be advocating burning the fuck out of Volkswagons. It makes literally no sense to do that now.
Nah. It’s trying to affect the bottom line of an extremely wealthy person who uses his wealth to the detriment of average Americans. Limit the wealth. Limit the amount of damage he can do. Or, we could do nothing to his bottom line and he can become even more wealthy and do even more than buy a presidency and deconstruct our government, illegally laying off thousands of federal workers.
Also, I can’t afford a Tesla. So I’m not even sure if I consider Tesla owners to be of the same class as I am.
You do know he already got paid for those so you are not impacting anything except some rando innocent person who now will actively hate your cause and move further towards the fascist side? Or maybe you don’t. Know it or not burning peoples Tesla’s is one of the absolute worst and stupidest moves someone can do if they actually want things to change. That just adds one more them to the “us vrs them”.
The damage done to the Teslas costs insurance companies money. Insurance companies hate paying for stuff, so if this is sustained, insurance rates for Teslas will increase. That combined with dealing with the vandalism itself gives customers a reason not to use a Tesla, which means car dealerships and rentals will sell less, who will then purchase less ultimately losing Tesla money. People who buy expensive cars from fascists who are actively controlling our government aren’t innocent, and IMO the people vandalizing Teslas are doing more for society than the peaceful parades and book clubs are since it actually costs them something.
Personally, I think people that own them should dump them, flood the market with used Swasticars nobody wants to be associated with. However, direct action does seem to be having an impact.
I suspect anyone the victim of this type of crime will think twice about buying another.
As someone who was raised in a conservative family but who climbed through a great many hoops to finally arrive at socialist thought: if you nutters were the left while I made that journey, I doubt I ever would have finished it.
The world has enough psychos in it, please stop hurting people who you can’t even be sure are complicit.
I was also raised in a conservative family, and leftists vandalizing stuff didn’t stop me from arriving at socialism, at most it delayed it slightly since I wasn’t yet aware of what the driving factor was, which I ended up connecting later. Everything leftists do pisses off conservatives who have different motives, I don’t think vandalizing cars from fascists running our government is exceptionally different and I don’t think most people who are still developing a baseline political framework can afford them anyways so it doesn’t directly affect them.
If you buy one today, sure, a few years ago, before their QC issues and mush really started fucking with the company, they weren’t an awful deal.
Even the cyberdumpsters, you could have been on a waiting list for 3-4 years and paid a solid downpayment.
What happens if mush buys out Rivian, all those retroactively turn to shit?
They’re also probably trapped in a loan. That 50-60k car was financed. it’s now worth 1/3 of it’s original cost. A lot of people who shouldn’t have spent 50k on a car will because monthly payments make it affordable to them, now they sell it and can only replace it with a hundai.
This is not new… how long has he owned twitter? 3 years ago? How long has it been since he accused a lead of a rescue team of being a pedo? 9 years now?

I agree with you on doxing and am very confused by burning normal people’s cars as a strategy.
I’m not seeing normal people on this website. Am I missing something?
Normally I’d agree.
But, I don’t really care anymore.
One side has crossed all sorts of lines and now pushback is happening. Innocents always get caught up in situations like that.
They can sell their Teslas.
Isn’t this just class infighting though, something completely against the benefit of the workers so the owners can continue to pick our pockets while we aren’t looking?
It’s never class infighting when you are attacking class traitors. They are free, of course, to stop being class traitors.
Same logic applies to cops.
If you truly think someone who bought a car years ago is a class traitor, I don’t really know what to say.
It’s not like we’re accusing them of planning it.
But the bottom line is the owner of the company they are supporting is a NAZI who bought a presidency and is deconstructing our government and illegally firing thousands of Americans.
If you continue to drive/buy Teslas, you are supporting that Nazi and empowering him to do more damage to our country.
If they are still driving a luxury car made by Nazis, to promote Nazism, even when it becomes very obvious a nazi symbol… Yes, they are.

Is the current execs of Volkswagem supporting a neonazi, right now?
No.
I still don’t own one, however.
And yes, I get it. Sometimes it is an inconvenience to oppose fascism. Wah.
And 5 years ago, Musk was still a shitstain, so even that excuse is flimsy as fuck.
Not when that part of the class is determined to ruin everyone else in the class. Nazi’s aren’t a part of the community.
Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but people who bought a Tesla four years ago aren’t Nazis.
No, but they are supporting one by continuing to buy/drive them.
How is having a paid off car supporting anyone but one’s own means of commuting to work?
Because everyone is rich like you and can afford to just buy a new car because some CEO revealed himself to be an evil cunt. You are so out of touch it hurts my head.

And everyone driving a Volkswagen is a nazi then too? If you support burning teslas, you must also support burning those

Well that’s a moronic argument
It’s not moronic, you are literally suggesting burning random people’s cars because the manufacturer is a nazi. I pointed out another example of such a manufacturer, and you have a problem with it.

If it was 1938 right now, I’d be advocating burning the fuck out of Volkswagons. It makes literally no sense to do that now.
So you suddenly care about the passage of time when it isn’t about how people bought them before musk went full nazi?
The CEO of Volkswagon isn’t currently doing a fascist coup you fucking moron
You’re arguing with someone too dumb to realize the 1930’s and 2020’s are two different time periods with entirely different sets of human beings.
Their argument is the definition of dogshit.
Nah. It’s trying to affect the bottom line of an extremely wealthy person who uses his wealth to the detriment of average Americans. Limit the wealth. Limit the amount of damage he can do. Or, we could do nothing to his bottom line and he can become even more wealthy and do even more than buy a presidency and deconstruct our government, illegally laying off thousands of federal workers.

They didn’t “simply buy a car”, they bought a symbol, and everything that brings along with it.
If you buy one today, sure, a few years ago, before their QC issues and mush really started fucking with the company, they weren’t an awful deal.
Even the cyberdumpsters, you could have been on a waiting list for 3-4 years and paid a solid downpayment.

I guess it sucks to buy a car from a nazi, huh?
This is not new… how long has he owned twitter? 3 years ago? How long has it been since he accused a lead of a rescue team of being a pedo? 9 years now?
Which is exactly what they should do, hopefully it puts a used one out to further prevent a (committed) buyer from getting a new one.
