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.)

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen any reports on the crazy number of c. trucks that have been vandaIized/sh0t up/destryed. I guess they’re trying to suppress copy cats. But I feel like I see a new one every day on other social media.

      That graffiti on the side elevates the aesthetics of the truck so much
