        They work by giving all the money to Elon Musk, who needs it less than anyone on the planet except Jeff Besos.

        The point wasn’t to make the showroom work though. It was to make the showroom not work, and fire does that job wonderfully.

          Right. Instead of destroying these cars, we should’ve taken them, sold them, and used the money to help those in need.

          Sorry this needs to be spelled out so many times for so many of you, but it really puts into perspective how “smart” the average internet user has gotten.

            What do you mean “taken them” Do you think Elon just sells the cars and gives the money away? Or are you talking about stealing the cars? What do you think can be achieved with that? The car will be found eventually and returned. The person who bought the stolen car lost their money and politically you achieved nothing.

              You’re correct, this course of action wouldn’t harm Elon Musk at all.

              But I think you’re mistaking the user you’re talking to for something other than a right wing troll trying to sound like they care about poor people.
