EJ Haust, official guest host of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show and self-described political refugee from Minnesota, pointed out the hypocrisy behind the protests and vandalism targeted at Tesla vehicles across the country as the left demonstrates its outrage over billionaire Elon Musk working with the Trump administration.
Tesla dealerships and showrooms across the U.S. have been targeted in recent weeks by violent attacks and protests organized by left-wing groups who oppose Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration as he oversees the new U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The attacks on Tesla vehicles and showrooms have drawn the attention of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who announced last week that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the attacks on Musk’s company as “domestic terrorism.”
On Friday’s show, Haust said the groups that are protesting Tesla and violently attacking the electric vehicles by using molotov cocktails and other means are the same individuals who, before Musk’s involvement in DOGE, praised Tesla for its “green” approach in the automobile industry.
“The irony in all of it is really striking. They tell you how environmentally friendly they are, saying, ‘We’re all about the climate and saving the earth and no pollution’ and blah, blah, blah, but they’re encouraging the blowing up of these chemicals and putting them into the air,” Haust said.
“They are releasing those chemicals and very dangerous things into the air by blowing up these vehicles,” Haust added.
In addition to pointing out how the left is “rooting for the failure of an American company that hires American workers” through its protest against Tesla, Haust also addressed comments made by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who is openly rooting for Tesla’s downfall despite his state owning 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund.
During an event last week, Walz said, “I know some of you know this, on the iPhone, they’ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day. $225 and dropping!”
“Could you imagine being someone who’s relying on your retirement from working for the state of Minnesota for however many years, probably decades long, to be able to get this retirement and your governor’s saying, ‘We really want that to go down’,” Haust said.
