They got some 98-year-old WW2 British veteran to 'drive' over a Tesla in a Sherman tank in order to fight 'fascism'. Isn't there some law against elder abuse? (www.youtube.com)

Fuck this guy, fuck the uploader, and fuck all the YouTube commenters supporting this. They don't know why they're mad, they don't know why they're celebrating such waste, they don't understand that someone had to have paid the "fascist" Elon for the car to even make this video. Apparently, they don't actually care about the environment or the efforts of the cobalt miners slaving away, since all of that was just squandered for an 80-second attention grab. Doublethink upon doublethink.

I'm seeing about a dozen articles in multiple languages about this YouTube video with ~100k views all within 24 hours, from media outlets all over the US and Europe.

It's all totally organic I'm sure, and not literal state propaganda.

Google "ken turner, 98" for a giggle.

How much of the Tesla did they disable or flat out remove? Because crushing a giant lithium battery isn't a good idea even under active demolition conditions, let alone a PR stunt involving a tank.

A tank which will have significantly greater emissions than the EV it just destroyed. But hey-ho, climate change and other important messages only matter when they carry political and social clout aimed in specific directions. Suspending them for the newest $CurrentThing won't surprise anyone here.

Metal and plastic debris everywhere. Oils and other lubricants like lithium grease leeching into the ground. They also have a regular 12V battery. A bunch of coolant. The tires are toxic.

Anyways.

So good thing they went out to the middle of a beautiful and idyllic field. Would have been a shame to crush that on a lot designated for crushing these things. Elon wouldn't have "felt" it as much if they did that.

They might have destroyed it and caused the environmental damage, but it's obviously Elon's fault because it's a Telsa.

What did Elon do to be called fascist?

Reignited the space industry, advanced electric vehicles more than anyone in the last decade, returned some semblance of balance to online speech and social media by clawing one of the mouthpieces away, and said various quiet things out loud.

You know, all the worst things ever. Except the actual worst thing ever that will always be the worst thing ever no matter what similar or worse things might have happened before, since, of in the future.

He said ''Orange Man less bad. Government overreach, waste and corruption bad. Cut the fraud.''.

That is unforgivable.

Supported civil rights, national identity, free speech and opposed the delusional troon horde. Which is fascist like water is dry.

Old guy looks great for his age; I would have guessed he was in his 70s. Shame he's being used as a political puppet.

He doesn’t look 98, you say?

It could be a different Ken Turner, of course, but….

The plot thickens. That would explain how young and spry the tank driver was.

The real question is, why would you use a real guys name if you're going to fake it? Just make someone up. It's not like anyone would bother to look up a nobody, and if they did they'd just assume he wasn't anything special in the service when they couldn't find anything. Using a guy who's death makes the news is baffling.

"no, I bought the car for the environment, but I destroyed it, and the environment, for fashion!"

fucking losers.

Isn't this incredibly dangerous to drive over a tesla battery?

That's a nice license plate. And the tank flipping over would have been hilarious.

Rofl, that would be absolutely shameless, but nothing will probably come from it.

This generation was just as brain-washable as today's prime leftist segments, and characteristically conformist. Just look up the falsification of the Iwo Jima flag raisers' identities. At least this sad man would have been hazed if he expressed this sanctimony while in the military.

Its crazy how leftist view of elon went from calling him irl tony stark or even a nerdy saint to now incel hitler and whatever the hell else. The 180° is pretty baffling.

artificially create demand for electric cars using the law, which require a very new resource base that involves strip mining in other environmental horrors. also slavery

create social campaigns do bully people into buying these expensive new cars, trashing their old ones and creating tons of waste.

suddenly the kingpin of the electric car makers decides to step out of line

destroy all these brand new cars which contain materials that are extremely hazardous

and these people think they are saving the environment
