We’re living through a real-life zombie apocalypse in the attacks on Tesla.

We’d better figure out how the zombies were created, and whether they can be saved – and us from them.

The same loony leftist vitriol that depicted Donald Trump as Hitler on a magazine cover – and perhaps inspired at least two assassination attempts – has now turned its laser eyes on Elon Musk.

Here’s an immigrant who not only personifies the pinnacle of the American dream, but who has built the country’s biggest-selling electric vehicles, arguably saved free speech with X, just rescued astronauts the feds couldn’t get to, is working on curing blindness and paralysis and, oh by the way, is trying to save us from a hopelessly profligate and fraudulent bureaucratic behemoth in Washington, D.C.

For all that, he’s a Nazi and his vehicles and their owners are being attacked nationwide. It’s insane. Literally.

It’s instructive to consider who’s doing it and why.

One can surmise there are powerful, monied, anti-American elements funding and coordinating the irrational rage – but Musk says there’s already a trail leading to “5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.”

And they should be investigated. But radical leftist groups can’t do anything without the help of radical leftist footsoldiers who are psycho enough to do their bidding.

Just a few examples, many of them caught on a Tesla’s ubiquitous cameras:

• An alleged illegal alien reportedly used wire cutters to vandalize a Tesla in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
• Protesters in Columbus, Ohio, hurled profane abuse and condemnation at a cybertruck owner.
• A 33-year-old suspect has been identified for allegedly assaulting a 61-year-old Tesla driver after forcing her to stop. The victim reportedly said, “I drive a Tesla and Wednesday in Flagstaff AZ this crazy person ran me off the road, got out of his car, and proceeded to assault me. I’m a 61 year-old widow. Lucky for me a city police officer witnessed it, but they didn’t arrest him! Prosecute!”
• Paul Hyon Kim, 36, has been arrested for using Molotov cocktails to burst multiple vehicles into flames at a Tesla center in Las Vegas. Pure terrorism.

There are many more examples – though those Americans on a strict diet of legacy media likely don’t know the number, breadth and depravity of such attacks on Tesla owners.

Surely they must grasp the insanity of the mindless lawlessness.

How is it so many far-left Americans have become so brainwashed, so indoctrinated, so programmed to protest and vandalize and terrorize and assault good Americans doing nothing more than building and driving what they see as eco-friendly cars?

I got a taste of the mindlessness of the anti-Musk crowd when I posted his and his DOGE team’s recent eye-opening interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.

Any open-minded person would find the interview enlightening – but the mindless Musk haters responding to the post could only spout vague, unsupported banalities.

“Lie after lie after lie after lie,” one wrote.

“Propaganda, misinformation & lies,” wrote another.

“Lies lies & more lies,” wrote another.

Well now, there are some thoughtful counterpoints!

It demonstrates the unwillingness or inability of the far left to absorb anything that runs counter to their world view – and the extent to which that world view is manipulated by left-wing media and ranting, raving Democrats in Congress.

Indoctrination is defined as “the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.” Look it up in the dictionary and you’ll see the mug shot of a Tesla attacker.

It doesn’t help that we seem to have stopped teaching critical thinking skills, defined by one source as “the ability to analyze information objectively, identify biases, assess arguments, and form well-reasoned judgments.”

It requires not accepting things at face value from people such as biased talking heads and rabid partisans. It takes emotional detachment and a letting go of preconceived notions and even long-held biases.

It leads to mindless groupthink – which one source explains as “when a group prioritizes harmony and conformity over critical thinking, leading to poor or flawed decisions because dissenting opinions are suppressed.”

Sound like anyone you know?

Yep. A real-life zombie apocalypse.
