Before Elon Musk publicly associated himself with President Donald Trump, he faced criticism from the more radical side of the political spectrum for purchasing the social media platform Twitter (now known as X). This group, which had been accustomed to using Twitter to suppress conservative voices by shadow banning or banning them altogether, was outraged when Musk acquired the platform.
Upon taking control of Twitter, Musk not only changed its name but also reinstated banned accounts, conducted a thorough evaluation of staff from before the Dogecoin era, and, most significantly for his critics, allowed a more open environment for free speech. Furthermore, he uncovered, through the release of the “Twitter Files,” how the system had previously collaborated to suppress news stories that did not align with the Democratic agenda.

These actions marked a shift in the public perception of Elon Musk, moving him from being solely a tech entrepreneur and electric car manufacturer to a figure deemed an adversary by some. Musk himself acknowledged this change by declaring that he had moved up to the position of Public Enemy No. 2, with Donald Trump being at the top of that list.
But, celebrities and others, as much as they disliked Musk, loved their Teslas and proudly drove them as status symbols. It’s when he started showing up on the campaign trail with Trump last summer that minds began breaking in a way that we hadn’t seen since the dawn of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It’s DOGE that broke them for good.
How dare Elon Musk just march into D.C. and start looking under the hood of the federal government? The government is their OTHER playground, just like Twitter was back in the day. He took that away from them and now he was going to take the government, too? Well, that just won’t stand. He must be stopped.
Some unhinged leftists, like Sheryl Crow, started with meaningless gestures like getting rid of their Teslas and congratulating themselves on social media. Others, as our own Nick Arama reported just last week, decided that violent attacks on Tesla dealerships was the right way to fight back, with one lot in Salem, Oregon, getting shot at and having a car set ablaze. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Hurting people, however, seems to be the goal of the crazy pants left, and one woman, 40-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson, after vandalizing a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, in January, decided to up the stakes earlier this week and returned with explosives. This time, she was arrested by Loveland police and charged with three felonies before she could do further harm:
On Monday, February 24th, 2025, just before midnight, the Loveland Police Department arrested 40-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson. The arrest was based on probable cause obtained through an extensive investigation which started January 29th. This arrest comes after the Loveland Tesla dealership was vandalized several times, with incendiary devices discovered on the scene. On Monday evening, Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism. Detectives apprehended Nelson prior to further damage occurring.
Nelson is being held on a $100,000 band at Larimer County Jail.
How utterly broken and insane do you have to be to direct your rage at a business that really has nothing at all to do with Elon Musk? He doesn’t own the dealership, so she’s only hurting the employees and the community.
Death threats, sadly, are nothing new to Musk; he’s dealt with them for years. Does Lucy Grace Nelson honestly think her pathetic attempt at domestic terrorism is going to stop the Musk/Trump juggernaut? If anything, acts like this only strengthen them as more people wake up to the fact that a segment of our society is broken beyond repair.
Make asylums great again.
