MAGA Meltdown Over Jimmy Kimmel Joke About Vandalizing Teslas
Jimmy Kimmel sparked MAGA outrage after he made a joke about Teslas being vandalized on Tuesday night.
During the talk segment of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host addressed the recent wave of attacks on Tesla dealerships nationwide.
Looking directly into the camera, he sarcastically pleaded, “Please don’t vandalize. Don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.”
Kimmel paused for effect, letting the sarcasm sink in before moving onto his next bit as the audience laughed.
The MAGA world, however, wasn’t amused, frantically circulating the clip as supposed proof of the left inciting domestic terrorism.
“Rooting for failure of a great American company and the wink wink encouragement of domestic terrorism is a new low. Disgusting,” one X user commented under the clip.
Another fumed, “I’ll never forget that @jimmykimmel encouraged violence against Tesla.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk apparently felt hurt too, commenting, “What a jerk.”

Jimmy Kimmel is inciting domestic terrorism.
I think all Tesla owners who have their property damaged in the future, should sue Kimmel into OBLIVION.

Tesla showrooms, charging stations, and cars have been vandalized in apparent revolt against the billionaire’s mass firings and cuts to federal programs, which U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has branded as “nothing short of domestic terrorism.”
Tesla owners in the U.S. and abroad are also selling their cars in protest. Kimmel noted that Tesla stock was “way down,” during the segment, referencing its 40 percent drop since January.
Musk claimed he was being targeted by an anti-DOGE conspiracy in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
“They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud, and they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they’re bad people. Bad people do bad things.”
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump tried to help out his buddy’s company by partaking in a bizarre Tesla-buying stunt at the White House, slipping into the role of car salesman.
