    Only if I buy a Tesla.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Yes, you are the villain here.

        No. I invoked it to highlight the absurdity of this line of thinking: that it is somehow acceptable to damage the property of a worker who may be completely innocent.

          It’s absurd because there is no slippery slope. People are not going to start torching Ferraris or burn windows 95 CDs.

          It’s offensive because you are using it to defend an actual Nazi.

          Is it somehow acceptable for Elon to damage the lives of millions of worker who may be completely innocent?
