The latest leftwing activist nutbag who tried to vandalize a Tesla managed to set himself on fire this week.
Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, was setting fire to Tesla charging stations in South Carolina - where he managed to burn three, by the way - after scrawling “f**k Trump” and “long live the Ukraine” on the nearby walls last Friday. Unfortunately for this dimwitted criminal, while throwing Molotov cocktails at the electric stations, he wound up lighting himself on fire. Witnesses said they saw him throwing the homemade incendiary devices before his own back went up in flames.
He was arrested later that day, and police didn’t say how badly he’d been burned by his own idiocy. The New York Post notes he already had one arrest on his record from a DUI charge in May on 2023, when he was pulled over and found to have an open container of alcohol.
Brilliant minds we’re dealing with, here.

Teslas, their dealerships, and their charging stations have all come under fire - literally, in many cases - following Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s appointment to head up DOGE, the new federal task force currently weeding out government waste for the Trump administration. Police in Las Vegas are currently investigating multiple Teslas that were deliberately set on fire Tuesday, while four Tesla cybertrucks were found torched on a car lot in leftwing Seattle last week.

Several days prior, gunshots were reportedly fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon, just days after a woman was arrested for throwing molotov cocktails and spray painting “Nazi cars” on the walls of a Tesla dealership in Colorado.
Thankfully, it doesn't look like we're dealing with the sharpest tasks in the community bulletin board.
