The radical left's crusade against Elon Musk has turned into a comedy of errors, with Tesla vandals thinking they’re so smart and sophisticated by vandalizing private property without realizing these high-tech vehicles are equipped with sophisticated surveillance systems that catch them in the act.
Every. Single. Time.
In March alone, at least nine vandals learned this lesson the hard way, getting caught by Tesla's "Sentry Mode" cameras while keying, spray painting, or otherwise defacing vehicles. You'd think word would spread in leftist circles that vandalizing Teslas is a guaranteed way to get arrested, but apparently not.
One particularly clueless perpetrator in Pennsylvania demonstrated this stunning lack of awareness after carving a swastika onto a Tesla SUV. When confronted, he offered this brilliant defense: "I have nothing against your car, and I have nothing against you. Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk."
Oh, I guess that makes it okay, right?
The prize for most aggressive displays of leftist brilliance goes to Demarqeyun Marquize Cox in Texas, who allegedly rammed multiple Teslas with an ATV while writing "Elon" on them. All of these incidents were caught on video and resulted in multiple felony charges on high-definition video.
These acts of vandalism aren't cheap. In Florida, one social justice warrior caused $2,623.66 in damage by smearing bubble gum on a vehicle. Another champion of the resistance in Minnesota racked up $3,200 in repair costs through keying. So brave, right? Well, except for that pesky video evidence leading to their arrests.

Tesla owners who have had their vehicles damaged by anti-Musk protesters have taken to posting the videos to social media to help get the perps identified and arrested. I’m sure that word has gotten out that vandalizing a Tesla is a surefire way to get yourself in serious legal trouble.
Tesla even tried warning these intellectual giants.
Actually, at least 7 cameras all around each of our cars 👋

Is the message getting through? The company is now upgrading Sentry Mode to blast music at full volume when detecting vandals because apparently, multiple camera angles recording their crimes isn't deterrent enough.
One North Dakota Tesla owner perfectly captured the absurdity after catching a vandal carving an "F" into his Cybertruck: "I can't believe this guy is potentially ruining his life to follow a political ideology."
Here's a revolutionary idea for the anti-Musk crowd: Maybe find a way to protest that doesn't involve committing crimes on camera? Just a thought. Create your silly signs and chant your lame slogans, but is it really worth potential jail time just because you have an issue with cutting waste from the government?
The question isn't whether more Tesla vandals will get caught; it's how many more need to face legal consequences before these geniuses realize they need a new strategy. But hey, at least they're keeping police departments and criminal defense lawyers busy.
Obviously providing police with crystal-clear evidence of their crimes isn’t a viable strategy for sticking it to Elon. Between that and the Trump administration’s plan to throw the book at these nut jobs, I hope they realize vandalizing Teslas isn’t worth it.
