Elon Musk calls for 'arrests' after woman points her finger at a Cybertruck
Summary
Elon Musk called for arrests after posting a video on X showing a confrontation between women and a Tesla Cybertruck driver.
In the video, a woman pointed at the vehicle, prompting the driver to yell threats while the crowd chanted "Shame!"
Another woman called the driver a Nazi.
Musk claimed the incident was part of broader attacks and urged authorities to arrest those funding such actions, saying targeting only “puppets and paid foot-soldiers” would not stop the violence.

Wait, you mean I’ve been flipping off cyber trucks for free?
You mean you did not fill out the forms at culturalmarxism.com beforehand? 🤦
You can just write to Soros and he will pay for the arrears.
/s for any right wing nutjobs reading this
I get all my socialist yoghurt from there!
Never forget that Elon Musk has built his fortune on many many violations of the law, including SEC violations and breaking employment laws. This ghoul firmly believes that his is of a privileged class that is permitted to do this while you are not. He is a cancer in our society and deserves nothing but ridicule and punishment for the harm he feels entitled to inflict on the rest of us.
He doesn't even have to believe it, it's been proven time and time again that he is part of a privileged class.
The treatment for cancer is not "ridicule," you know. Just sayin'.
It’s social Darwinism and tyrannical oligarchy repackaged as some new tech bro philosophy
Free speech for he, not for thee.
Here, or on .ml?
You sure you're not just being an asshole?
A day later this comment is still up. I suspect assholery is to blame.
Musk has a point, though. The Cybertruck is extremely fragile, so pointing at it with your finger poses a significant risk and could even set it on fire.
But first it will lock the doors.
Underrated comment 😅
It DOES have a higher fire fatality statistic than the Ford Pinto so...
However bad you think that is, it's almost definitely worse.
TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto, a car endlessly memed on by an entire generation for its flammability.
You should go read that article, because it's short, but just look at this chart I pulled from it.
Panels fall off at the slightest mention of it
You guys are so quick to judge Elon. It’s not fair.
He’s not a Nazi. He just likes Nazis.
Get a grip guys he’s not a Nazi. He just really likes everything they stood for.
Quit calling him a Nazi. He’s just a guy who really really likes Nazis and hitler and being a piece of shit.
He’s not a Nazi guys. He just likes Nazis. A lot.
He likes them as much as any Nazi would.
Can’t a guy just like Nazis and act like a Nazi and do Nazi things without being labeled a Nazi?
It’s unfair. Maybe you have too small a brain to understand the distinction.
Elon musk is not a Nazi.
He just really really wants to be one.
And he just happens to like the same salutes nazis like. But the leftist woke mob still calls him a nazi.
Not a nazi Mh ok?
Absolutely not a nazi
Are you saying he's actually not a member of the Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei?
Wait, we can get paid to laugh at cybertrucks? And here I am doing it for free like a sucker.
I am still waiting on my soros bux for hating on trump in 2016
That's right. Setting fire to Teslas is OK so long as you do it for free!
Idk about you, but I had the best first IRL interaction. I love an a small town and had one pull up to me at a stop light. I immediately started belly laughing, and my shit carries even when I don't intend it. Heard some sort of quick beep almost immediately when I started. I hope I see myself online someday.
Edit: https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc
Good job editing the part of your comment where you called me a liar.
What kind of lameass story is that?
Quit screwing around and flip them off like a proper adult.
Naw this actually happened I assure you. Pretty sure I still got the dash cam footage, but you're just going to hear the laughter and beep.
But you know, good job sounding like a dick. You must be a blast at social gatherings.
Edit for the cynics https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc
Why would I lie about something like this?
Post it.
https://youtu.be/fmLx5S5GUJc
Won't be holding my breathe waiting for to apologize prick 🖕
Oh shit OP delivered guys.
It had some kind of siren/PA or something and honked at you because you laughed at it? Now that I've seen video evidence that's actually so on brand for a Musk fanboy.
Yeah, I watched it after posting and figured out it was the cop probably giving him a compliment. If you keep watching you see a sheriff in the far right lane two lights later. But I only had my driver side windows down so it reflected off the side of the cyber truck.
On, it just finding a sub that accepts videos
Its a good thing we have Elon protecting free speech. What a fucking sham.
--- Elon Musk probably
Didn’t you hear, only billionaires with media companies can afford free speech now.
We can say whatever we want; they just delete it. And probably shoot microwaves at your house lol.
Money is speech words aren't.
No one on the right ever gave a shit about free speech. They don't care about actual freedom in general, either. They want to own people. It's the Southern idea of "freedom".
it's reddit-mod level free speech
He's allowed to do Nazi salutes at inaugurations, but people aren't allowed to point fingers at his cars?
Prairie dog it!
Well, if people are going to be arrested for just flipping off cybertrucks, then they might as well just go ahead and actually damage them.
Exactly. If youre gonna arrest me even if I'm not chucking bricks into faces,
Well then I might as well chuck some bricks.
No need. They spontaneously fall apart anyway
I always say if you are going to jail go big!
If you're walking past a swastikkkar and don't yell joyfully, "Elon's a super-genius and the savior of Earth," then you're a terrorist.
Because he’s funding fascism, he assumes anyone against his agenda must be “funded” by someone. He can’t comprehend that someone would be against living in a dystopian fascist hellhole without being paid.
It's projection. It's always projection.
I was thinking the exact same thing. If you pay a bunch of people to have a political opinion, it must be natural to think that everyone who has a political opinion is being paid.
Also he pals around with donvict, who paid people to applaud him when he came down that escalator...
Yeah, if you think about it, being a paid protester would be a really fun job, for gleeful jerks like me at least.
You get to travel around, hang out with like-minded folks on the bus and in new cities. You get to strategize maximum shenanigans and once in a while get on the news.
Strangely, my search for such job openings has come up completely empty. Guess you have to know some one?
/S
I cannot wait till someone gets pissed off enough to shoot this motherfucker
who's not pissed off enough for that now? i can't wait until someone grows a pair.
Not sure why you got downvoted.
I’m not a violent person—I want peace. But if the quickest path to it, with the least bloodshed, is removing this idiot, then so be it.
I got you boo! I’ll fund your gofundme for a great lawyer.
Id really consider it I weren’t foreign to the US. Really really bad look for my whole country if I did anything. But if USA invades us then I’m absolutely going to try.
I’m hopeful I’ll be so popular after that no lawyer will be required 🤞
[Elon glances at GoFundMe suspiciously]
(Elon buys GoFundMe)
some people think the newport folk festival is on the edge of peace. others are ready for dylan to go electric.
Didn’t know what you were talking about so I looked it up. Nice reference!
the scene from "a complete unknown" really hammers the point home.
pete seeger: "we're so close to peace"
dylan: "they just killed JFK and Malcom X"
It's soon going to be illegal to hurt Elon feelings.
Seems like that is already the case.
And then an angry mob will rip all his skin off!
Eww, you've seen that skin of him?
Dude's so pale he looks like he sweats sunscreen
Phony Stark? Felon Musk?
Anal Musk
F-Elon and the Felon
How much funding does he think it takes to get people to protest against the world's most publicly obnoxious Nazi?
He's absolutely the kind of person who would think the only reason anyone would ever act like they hate him is because they're being paid to do so. He can't imagine anyone not really thinking he's as great as he thinks he is.
He also loves money and has no principles. People doing something because they have values is just not something he understands.
I mean, the pathology goes so much deeper.
Musk's family hates him. Like they actively go out of their way to speak against him. His father tweets shit about him, his grown children want nothing to do with him but will speak out against him, his ex... Well you could fill a book with that. His mother and his youngest child (who he uses like a prop) are the only ones that haven't publicly worked against him
What friends does he have? His billionaire buddies will make moves with him, but we've seen the text chains - it's all business. They barely react when he goes against his word... They congratulated him for buying Twitter himself after making plans to go into it together that he backed out of - no way that wasn't a backhanded compliment
Trump hates his guts... But sucks up to him. What friends does he have? He has sycophants, he has people eager to use him... But every relationship he has is based around the fact he's the richest billionaire. If he loses that, what does he have? Who does he have?
TLDR:
He has to pay people to pretend to like him, so he thinks the people who hate him have been paid too.
Deep down, he knows, and it torments him. Unfortunately he's rich enough to take it out on the world.
Seems like something a person trying to buy votes would say.
Well he's currently attempting to buy an election in Wisconsin, so you're spot on.
I'll just put that on my overflowing inbox of things that obviously won't happen, which is right next to my overflowing outbox of things that obviously won't happen but did anyway.
haha - funding them - no Elon, people hate you so much they're doing this for free.
Is the snowflake afraid of a little free speech? I thought he was all about free markets correcting themselves?
Elon's self esteem is the strength of soft tofu. it's not for the world to walk on eggshells. He needs to get some actual real therapy cuz this isn't managing at life.
A good criminal justice system ought to have comprehensive mental health services as part of the goal of rehabilitation. Therefore, for his own good, he should be in prison and we should reform the prison system.
Wasn’t cyber tuck supposed to be a battery powered light tank chassis? Why are these punks scared of an old lady’s finger?
The front can fall off.
And the sides. It's typical.
And the bumper according to whistling diesel.
I'm with this guy - if I see someone towing with one of those, I'm going to stay away:
https://www.jalopnik.com/1808821/tesla-cybertruck-testing-towing/
if it were a tank it'd be cast iron and rusty
They are already rusty, so halfway there.
From the guy that called empathy weakness?
When that bicycle rider flipped off Trump's motorcade during his first Badministration, the social media blowback got her fired from her job. She ran for Congress and won.
I hope this woman has a similar outcome.
Side query: I wonder if anyone in Child Protective Services is investigating Melon Husk's home environment for his kids. He's an resident alien who lied on his immigration paperwork and could be subject to deportation.
He's also publicly abusing a child by using him as a human shield.
Yeah I'd love to hear how he really treats his kids despite his talk about family values etc. The way he's been dragging him (XÆ?) around, inadequatly clothed, probably fed too much candy etc. He wasn't even 4 yo when that started. Psychological evaluation please. Not that anything is going to happen, but one can surmise (and hope).
Why not just ban Tesla and cyber trucks since they are offensive to people eyes, are linked to a Nazism and provoke violence.
The Cybertruck would be done for in the blink of an eye If the NHTSA had balls and treated it fairly in response to its disastrous statistics.
high profile non binary, non white, non male identified people deal with actual life threats on their life just for existing.
Meanwhile here's a white cisdude with billions worried about some woman pointing in a general direction.
That reminds me, I have to sharpen my guillotine.
For real? I thought that was a reddit look?
Mama mia! What has the world come to?
I’m so confused as to why someone would downvote your comment. I guess they think you’re trying to shut someone down or something? Like you just mentioned it is risky, I assume because it has happened to you, which is good to know
I guess maybe. It’s just still odd though. Like you weren’t really making a political point. Maybe they’re just downvoting all your comments? I dunno just strange
I guess it is a double edge sword of lemmy. One could write a script to have the voting power of ten people really easily
I can easily believe that. I have no idea how someone comes to that point of view without a ton of brain washing
Also, you know you’re doing something right when you get brigaded haha
Seriously, I think porcelain is less fragile than Elonia's ego. I'm definitely concerned about his volume increasing on calling for blatantly tyrannical actions. I hope one day in the future, justice is done and he is investigated and charged for any crimes he may have committed.
Though I'm not going to hold my breath.
Does anyone else get the sense that he is exactly the type of person who would go out the way the OG Nazi leaders went out? I.e. self self-deletion as opposed to accepting his loss and facing punishment like someone with courage.
getting tips from putin, where russia arrested a little girl for having a protest poster.
Dear Resident, America is Under attack. We are in a state of War with the globalist menace. The FBI has determined that because you have not put up a US flag in your domicile, Taken a picture of your Ballot confirming you voted for our president, donated to an approved organization on the President's approved list, or purchased a vehicle or other asset in excess of $50,000 USD from an approved vendor such as Tesla, That you may be a seditionist, and will be placed in custody upon further investigation.
Please drink verification can to continue.
I’m sure I’m out of the loop on your joke, but it sounds exactly like something a Lumon rep would say on Severance.
Let's go through elons post history and arrest him for every bad thing he's said about liberals or anyone else. Remember that pedo comment he made? Arrest him for it.
Right. Point your finger at Cybertruck, highest government office in the land calls for your arrest. Run over protestors with your brodozer? Clear case of self defense.
Get the fuck out of here.
This fool takes Karen to a new level. What a fucking baby.
He showed that with that incident with the Thai kids stuck in the cave. They wouldn't take his submarine because it would never be able to navigate the cavern and he got all pissy and jealous of the actual heroes who accomplished the rescue. Kept calling one a pedo for years.
We need a sub for Shit Elon Says
I'd rather put him in a sub. A really badly made one.
Would this sub be driven with an x-box controller and going to visit the Titanic?
Mmmaybe
stockton shouldve invited him.
Occupy the bottom of the ocean!
Cybersub?
c/enoughmuskspam I think?
Every accusation is a confession.
Someone give her one million dollars
Musk: comedy is now legal Also musk: flipping people off is not
If Musk just disappears from earth and is never seen or heard again, no one will miss him.
Says the asshole trying to buy an election to rig a court ruling?
It's always projection.
This cunt needs to be shot. Pleeease
Or caught by a mob and Gadaffied?
I’m confused. I was told “unusual hand gestures” are fine??
He's just gearing up for the future assault on the left "funding" terrorism and an explanation for martial law when the unrest starts. Except you can't fucking normalize fascism buddy.
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -CIA Director William Casey to President Ronald Reagan and others at Cabinet meeting, February 1981
I believe this with no source because it fits my bias
Barbara Honegger Quora post See if you can still find it.
Imagine how CORRUPT this would be if Elon Musk had Control over our FBI, our President and our Military! That would be EXTREMELY CORRUPT! Fortunately that's NOT the case!
Of course this isn't an Onion headline.
On one hand, I want to point even more at teslas now to piss him off. On the other hand, maybe this is exactly what he wants - people pointing at teslas.
I'll just go back to continue painting road runner murals.

Who are they going to blame for “paid actors” when Soros (age 94) is gone?
By that point they’ll be able to go back to the more generic “the Jews”.
They want to arrest “the people funding this”, but what if nobody is? Is it so hard to believe people are just generally upset with what’s going on and are capable of organizing without a rich boogeyman leading them? It’s weird to think that only money can motivate.
I wonder what he's going to call for when he sees what else people have been pointing at them?
I think Musk making people realize they have to aim higher than "foot soldiers" is not a great idea for him haha!
All cars matter.
Seriously, he keeps saying we're supposed to be being paid to hate Tesla, but I haven't seen a paycheck yet. Anyone have the number for HR?
That site demands you turn off ad blocker.
Use a non-garbage one instead
Which do you recommend then?
(not him) the only good one for the last ~10 years. ublock (origin) and some firefox / fork of it
I call for Elon musks arrest for unusual hand gestures.
This is how terrorists are born.
