How others join to give a hand
To those protesting Elon’s brand
By vandalizing someone’s car
In protests now both near and far.
“Why he’s a fascist,” so they say,
“And Trump’s a tyrant, by the way.”
It seems they want the status quo
That gives the taxed both grief and woe
And causes them to work for naught
To pay for this or that whatnot.
And so they gather round the globe.
I ask, “Is each a technophobe?
“I thought the Left was for EVs,
“And all that tech they say relieves
“The Earth from warming fossil fuels.
“Alas, they seem to be such fools.”
The count is not complete just yet,
But 80 owners now regret
They bought a car to do their part
To change the world; it seemed quite smart.
But after raging Leftists burned
Some 80 cars because they spurned
What they once praised and did embrace,
The owners wonder where to drive
A Tesla that can just survive
The damage done in random acts
By vandals roaming in wild packs.
“Is burning cars a Liberal trait?”
I ask, “And what can drive destructive hate
“Toward Tesla owners and their cars?
“Is it the man who’s reached the stars?
“The guy who wants to go to Mars?”
“Or are the vandals willing pawns
“Of foreign actors and their cons?
“Or even puppets pulled by wire
“By libs who can’t relinquish ire
“They have because they’re losing cash,
”The taxes that filled up their cache?”
Whatever purpose they hold dear,
Their object seems to me quite clear;
The mob just wants the good to fear.
