People need perspective. The right is literally killing people with policy and detaining /disappearing citizens and destroying this country.

The left is burning cars in protest as it actually hurts the bottom line of a right leader. The other leftists are more apauled at the burning cars than at the stuff the right is doing that is much worse.

I've got news for you. This is going to get a lot worse than burnt cars if you ever want it to get better.

I'm indifferent on unsold Teslas being targeted, not like law exists in this country anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am absolutely 100% fucking appalled that people would be ok with doxing Tesla owners. These are real people with families who now have to fear for their safety because they thought it was cool technology when they bought the car. They also may not be able to easily afford to sell the car and buy a new or used one right away.

This does nothing good for anyone and hurts any resistance movement and sadly makes any resistance look like it lacks empathy for fellow human beings just like how what the right is doing shows they lack empathy.

Eh, I think most people would agree with you here but no one would go out of their way to stop or even denounce this cause that's at the very bottom of the list of issues.

Musk lost his mind before Tesla sold a car.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Sure, but the public perception was completely different. Tesla was a leftist political statement. Electric cars? Saving the climate? What a ridiculous idea only libs would subscribe to, electric cars will never work. Teslas were keyed by coal-rolling right wingers.

The opinion went a total 180°, and many people still own Teslas from that time. I have no sympathy for e.g. Cybertruck owners, but many Tesla owners were buying them years ago, when they were seen as tech for progressives that care about the environment.

No innocent people on this website as far as I can tell

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You shouldn't be ok with doxing people even if they are not good people.

It's an all or nothing standpoint. If you are fine with people getting doxxed for some reason you believe to be evil, then you inadvertently say that doxxing as a whole is fine. Eventually someone innocent is going to get doxxed, whether it be by accident (no such list of doxxed people is 100% accurate) or by someone with different viewpoints than you.

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think you’ve looked at the website. The only individuals on there are Elon musk and cash Patel

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Dogequest said it will remove the personal details of Tesla drivers only if they can prove they have sold their vehicles.

It is unknown if all the names listed on the map are Tesla owners. In New Jersey, the site listed close to 50 alleged owners.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/03/19/dogequest-website-is-reportedly-exposing-tesla-owners-sensitive-info/82546251007/

NBC News spoke to six Tesla owners or their representatives who confirmed that at least some information on the website was accurate, though other owners said that in some cases phone numbers or addresses were out of date.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/tesla-dogequest-website-owner-list-dox-site-link-rcna197112

Considering one of their statement literally says that to prove you shouldn't be doxxed you have to give out even more private info, it seems pretty telling.

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh I see! I do not support doxxing regular people

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 7 points 9 hours ago

I went there and there are 5 people listed on it, like Elon and Kash Patel. If they have regular innocent people on the site it isn't showing them to me.

The vast majority of icons are just dealerships and superchargers.

Reminds me: HOW THE HELL is their stock UP 23.72% this past week. I mean, what. the. fuck.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

probably artificially kept up by investors, or by musk or his cohorts so they can sell thier stocks before it crashes.

[–] wellheh@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Is there a paywall-free version of this article?

[–] NeonNight@lemm.ee 31 points 18 hours ago (22 children)

This is gonna be the thing that splits the left into “fuck yeah burn them” and “this is going too far” and then nothing will get done because we’ll focus too much on infighting. Can’t we all come together for something not stupid like destroying random people’s cars? If you’re going to take drastic measures, at least do something more productive. Throw a Molotov at your representatives’ cars instead. I have no tears for a burnt Tesla, but I wish people were using this energy to punish more deserving people in more meaningful ways. I’m still waiting on all those “Luigi copycats” people keep thinking are gonna appear

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's not random peoples' cars. It's cars at Tesla dealerships.

There's been 2 attacks on CEOs since... The copycats are appearing.

Billionaire Media just learned not to sensationalize them.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

My friend told me about this show he was working at. It was a pharmaceutical meeting with lots of c suite execs.

They told him to not mention to anyone that the execs would be there on account of "recent news".

It still looks like there's a clearweb site: https://dogeque.st/

I'm not sure if it's a mirror or the OG. Love the custom cursor.

And, for convenience, the .onion link: dogeqstqzn2yjns2d6ccns7aa52tglno63ay2uv2orfvd7e23khcsxid.onion (you will need Tor to access)

I fundamentally disagree with doxing regular people. It's one thing if it's a public figure who is actively antagonizing people and using anonymity as a layer of protection against repercussions for their awful acts. But publishing the names and addresses of people who simply bought a car is not something we should be doing.

[–] TipsyMcGee@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

I agree with you on doxing and am very confused by burning normal people's cars as a strategy.

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

I’m not seeing normal people on this website. Am I missing something?
