The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed Tesla from its exhibition citing “safety concerns” amid leftist protests, effectively telling leftist terrorists that violence achieves exactly what they want it to.
At a glance:
- Tesla was removed from the Vancouver International Auto Show due to safety concerns related to anti-Musk protests
- Radical protesters have vandalized Tesla properties, set vehicles on fire, and threatened owners across North America
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been targeted for his support of President Trump and conservative positions
- Attorney General Pam Bondi has labeled the attacks as “domestic terrorism”
- President Trump vowed to “stop them” because “they’re harming a great American company”
Liberal Protesters Force Tesla’s Removal
The Vancouver International Auto Show, described as “Western Canada’s premiere automotive experience,” announced the exclusion of Tesla from its event this week. Executive Director Eric Nicholl made the decision after providing Tesla with “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw” from the show.
The decision follows a series of “Tesla Takedown” protests in Ottawa and Vancouver targeting the American electric vehicle manufacturer. These protests are part of a coordinated leftist campaign against Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his advisory role to President Donald Trump and his outspoken conservative views.
Radical protesters have engaged in numerous acts of violence and vandalism against Tesla properties across North America. In Las Vegas, incendiary devices were used to set multiple Tesla vehicles on fire, while a Tesla dealership in Oregon was shot at and charging stations in Massachusetts were set ablaze.
Trump Administration Labels Attacks “Domestic Terrorism”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has taken a strong stance against the anti-Tesla violence, labeling the attacks as “domestic terrorism.” The Department of Justice has promised to pursue those responsible for the coordinated campaign against the American company.
“We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes,” Bondi stated. Her comments reflect the Trump administration’s commitment to protecting American businesses from politically motivated violence.
President Trump himself addressed the situation at the White House last week, vowing to “stop them… because they’re harming a great American company.” The President’s support for Tesla comes as no surprise, given his pro-business agenda and personal relationship with Musk.
A concerning development in the anti-Tesla campaign was the publication of personal information of Tesla owners on a website called “Dogequest.” This doxxing effort raised serious privacy and safety concerns for innocent Tesla owners who may become targets simply for their choice of vehicle.
Canadian Government Joins Anti-Tesla Campaign
The Canadian government appears to be joining the anti-Tesla movement, with British Columbia Hydro banning Tesla products from its electric vehicle rebate program. This decision favors Canadian goods amid ongoing trade disputes and reflects growing anti-American sentiment in the Canadian government.
The controversy intensified after Musk allegedly commented that “Canada is not a real country,” leading to a petition to revoke his Canadian passport that gathered 375,000 signatures. Musk, who was born in South Africa, obtained a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother before becoming a successful American entrepreneur.
Do jokes justify this behavior? Really?
The Vancouver International Auto Show continues at the Vancouver Convention Centre through Sunday, featuring major manufacturers like Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet. Tesla’s exclusion marks a concerning precedent where political activism can successfully restrict a company’s ability to participate in public events.
