Why is the left targeting Elon Musk?
Folks, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer just went on national TV bragging that he has put hundreds of progressive judges on the bench and said he's proud they are ruling against Trump time after time.

Well, speaking of the left-wing assault on basic human values, the assault on Elon Musk's Tesla continues.
Now, I will say, it's pretty incredible what we're watching right now. There have been across American history a number of very large industrialists, bankers, innovators who have worked hand in glove with the American government when called upon to do so. In the early 20th century, there were bankers who worked with the federal government in order to essentially bail the United States government out of serious debt problems. During World War II, obviously, industrialists worked with the FDR administration in order to rev up the American war machine. Nothing about what Elon Musk is doing is particularly unprecedented. What is unprecedented is the idea that it's good for the country if his company is taken down. The hatred of President Trump is so strong and President Trump has been so invulnerable to that hatred that pretty much all the hatred of the left has now turned to Musk. It's kind of a fascinating thing.
When you talk to people on the left right now, sure, they hate Trump, but they're kind of tired of hating Trump. They got bored with it. The fact is that they hated Trump 10 years ago. They hate Trump today. Elon Musk is the new hot thing to hate. And because Elon Musk has dedicated himself to Doge, the Department of Governmental Efficiency, because he is going through department by department and looking for possible waste, fraud and abuse because he's so voluble. Because he's so rich, specifically because of all that, he has become persona non grata, enemy number one. And that means that the left is now excusing actual acts of violence against, for example, Tesla dealerships. There are entire sites that have been set up to dox Tesla owners, according to the UK Independent.
As protests against Doge had Elon Musk spread across the country, a website called DogeQuest has reportedly published the personal details of Tesla owners leading to concerns about privacy and safety. The site reveals the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners on an interactive map and uses an image of a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. The operators of the site have said that they will only remove the information of Tesla owners who prove they've sold their cars, according to 404 Media, which is full-scale insane. There are legitimately hundreds of thousands of people who own Teslas. The new site comes amid a number of attacks on Tesla properties, such as arson at showrooms and service centers, seemingly in protest of Musk and his role in the administration of President Trump. That map also includes locations of Tesla dealerships and superchargers.
So I'm old enough to remember when Sarah Palin was blamed for putting up a map of targeted districts that she was hoping Republicans could flip. And then a nut job who had nothing to do with that map went and shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. And Sarah Palin was blamed for that. Here you have people who are putting up an actual map with the icon of a Molotov cocktail and individual private people who own Teslas. And somehow this isn't a national scandal in any way. It should be. It should be. I mean, there's incitement to violence, certainly. The site says DogeQuest is the ultimate hub for enthusiasts of the Department of Government Efficiency.
