Law enforcement officials are searching for a suspect after a Tesla dealership was damaged by gunshots in Salem, Oregon, on Wednesday.

Law enforcement officials are searching for a suspect after a Tesla dealership was damaged by gunshots in Salem, Oregon, on Wednesday.

This is not my favorite source article, but it does clear up something that’s been getting passed around.

Yes, someone shot up a Tesla dealership in Salem, OR, a couple days ago. Yes, this is the same dealership that had one of its cars set ablaze on Jan 20, 2025.

However, this shooting is being conflated with a sticker that says “Kill Elon”.

The “name tag” style sticker with “Kill Elon” inscribed on it was not at either Salem, OR, incident. That was a separate thing done by protesters in New York. That’s why I chose this article to post, because it refers to that.

(For legal reasons, we cannot recommend this kind of action be undertaken, planned, threatened, encouraged, etc. Definitely do not do anything like this.)

    Sortor said, “THIS is the result of Democrats and legacy media calling Elon Musk ‘HitIer.’ SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KlLLED.”

    “THIS NEEDS TO STOP,” Sortor added. “Authorities need to make a VERY clear example out of these criminals.”

    No, this is the result of Elon doing a nazi salute and bulldozing our government agencies.
