A man went viral for posting a short video of himself decked out in Trump gear and washing his Tesla as an act to “protest the protestors” as leftist rhetoric heats up the political discourse around the president and his DOGE chief Elon Musk. Recently, a spate of violence has affected both Tesla dealerships and individual owners of the popular electric vehicles produced by Musk’s company as Democrat politicians and their media allies frame Elon Musk as the new big bad in the Trump administration.
Fires, vandalism, and even one instance of a man rubbing his backside and smearing a Tesla with his smelly fingers have sent shockwaves across the internet. President Trump has vowed to label these acts of domestic terrorism since the attacks are not random but rather calculated moves to communicate their opposition to the success of DOGE and Team Trump to uncover decades of what they call “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
A man by the self-given name of JR on X, another of Elon Musk’s wildly successful technology ventures, with just over 6,000 followers amassed more than 1 million views in a video originally posted March 23rd. Up front, it’s not that impressive; a man is washing his car. But it was the message he communicated through the mundane act that resonated. Comments to the post highlighted the hypocrisy of Democrats’ previous love of the environment and electric vehicles considering their conflagrations of EVs produces plumes of toxic smoke on account of the lithium batteries burning and the rest of the heavily-processed components of the vehicles.
“To protest the protestors, here’s a video of me: a straight, white, God-fearing, biological Christian male washing my Tesla in my dark MAGA hat this afternoon,” JR wrote in the post along with the video. For good measure, he mentioned that he was also a proud supporter of the second amendment. “Oh and I have 2 guns in it,” he added. Watch the video that set the internet on fire below:
His video, in addition to receiving over 1 million views, now has over 1,000 comments, which ranged from supportive to triggered. Libs and trolls just couldn’t handle the fact that they were getting owned and some even resorted to the usual tactic of questioning his sexuality identity and manhood. Of course, this exposes their own hypocrisy once more, as the implication that he is gay in a negative way doesn’t quite jive with their LGBT “tolerance” message and the body-shaming likewise means they aren’t serious about what they say.
Other comments simply focused on the awesomeness of the video and idea behind it. “I never considered owning a Tesla before. But now I really have no choice but to buy one to support our man Elon,” one user said. “Hey liberals, stop crying about my MAGA hat, guns, and Tesla. Freedom rocks,” added another. Still, several more comments pointed out the aforementioned switch from the climate- and peace-loving narrative of Democrats and absolutely squashed it.
“It’s wild how the parties have switched. Dems were the party of peace and green living. Now destroying Teslas like they are paid to do it,” said one astute commenter. Indeed, it is hard to say you support environmentalists causes while sending noxious fumes into the atmosphere. Nor can you destroy electric vehicles and make people, drive, what, gas-powered cars? None of this adds up.
“Let’s attack the most heavily armed, family defensive, and historically effective population in history by destroying their vehicles such that their wives can’t drive without fear of being assaulted,” wrote another, observing how many Trump supporters are ardent defenders of freedom and don’t want to deal with violence, threatened or real, against them or their families.
