Elon Musk summed it up yesterday: "This is crazy."

The story he was retweeting involved another arson attack on Teslas in Seattle.

A fire in Seattle late Sunday reportedly torched four Tesla Cybertrucks as protesters descend on showrooms across the country to protest billionaire owner Elon Musk.

Police officers and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating the fire, which broke out in a lot in SoDo, Seattle’s industrial district, officials told The Post.

Officials responded to a call made around 11:13 p.m. on Sunday about a fire in the SoDo neighborhood, David Cuerpo, a Seattle Fire Department spokesperson, told The Post.

There was another incident of vandalism in Lynwood, Washington a few miles north of Seattle on Saturday morning.

Police are investigating after six Teslas were vandalized at a Tesla dealership in Lynnwood.

According to the Lynnwood Police Department, six vehicles were vandalized with spray paint sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. on Saturday, March 8, at the dealership located at 17731 Pacific Highway. Video circulating online shows multiple Tesla Cybertrucks with phrases referencing Elon Musk and swastikas in red spray paint.

Local anti-Tesla protesters claim they aren't involved.

"It’s not my approach, it’s not the approach of the people around me," Devin Hermanson, who has helped organize some of the local Tesla protests, told KOMO News. "It’s just not the way we do things, and in some ways I think it’s not really helpful. I want people to see us as a peaceful movement."

Here's video of that incident.

And last night there was another incident targeting Cybertrucks on the other side of the country.

The vandalism was discovered Tuesday morning at the Tesla store and service center on Providence Highway, which is Route 1.

From Sky5, two Cybertrucks with graffiti and slashed tires could be seen parked on the side of the lot. The tires of a Tesla Model S were also damaged.

This follows two other recent incidents in Massachusetts. In one case a group of Tesla superchargers were set on fire intentionally and in another case a Boston man was arrested for putting stickers on several Teslas. He was located after this video, in which he described what he was doing as "free speech," went viral.

There's more of this if you look. In Chicago there have been multiple instances according to one body shop.

Richard’s Body Shop in Albany Park has handled about three cases involving these specific electric vehicles being vandalized. The body shop’s staff helped Campbell with his issue, but shop owner Eddie Zipperstein said in another case, the damage was much more severe than just spray paint.

“One customer got rammed, back bumper, and rammed into him,” Zipperstein said. “He actually had a sticker that wasn’t pro Tesla. He liked the car for itself, not a political statement.”

And in Washington, DC as well.

Over the last two weeks I’ve had my Tesla vandalized three times in NW DC by different people. I know this because Teslas record video when someone gets too close.

While all of this is happening have you noticed that Democrats have said nothing? So far as I can tell, Rep. Ro Khanna is the only exception.

Meanwhile, President Trump is doing his part to support Musk in the midst of this by announcing he was going to buy a Tesla and keep it at the White House.

It's a nice gesture but of course this won't reduce the attacks on Tesla by unhinged leftists. If anything it will increase them. Maybe at some point a few more Democrats could say something about this string of vandalism and arsons at the dealerships of the guy they are making public enemy #1 at this moment.
