The Spin

Democratic narrative

This assault exemplifies the violent streak within the MAGA movement. Around the same time, Ricardo Ruiz, another Trump supporter, wielded a Taser-like device against anti-Tesla demonstrators in California. These incidents reveal a pattern of Trump's base targeting dissenters with physical intimidation and aligning with the movement's confrontational ethos.

Republican narrative

Pro-Trump attacks aren't as common as anti-Trump/anti-Musk violence. Across the country, from firebombings and vandalism to terrorizing Tesla drivers in the middle of the road, the radical left's unhinged hatred has escalated beyond rhetoric. Even the US Army's special operations command was forced to warn its Tesla-owning soldiers about this threat.
