I'm not sure you realize it but in that moment you were given the opportunity to destroy the lives of any scapegoated person/group you could locate in the vicinity.
The administration has sought the most extreme charges and punishments possible for Tesla-related dissent, even advocating sending American citizens to CECOT. The ability to wield immense state violence in this fashion is worth protesting against!
I find your story a harrowing tale of how our new fascist state seeks to wield violence against the citizenry.
In case you don't believe that: look up Volkswagen history (as if the name wasn't enough of a hint) and I think you will agree that Tesla may be a swasticar ... it's not the first swasticar.
VW in effect was re-founded after the war by the British military administration as a trust and only privatised into a public company in the 1960s.
The biggest shareholders of BMW on the other hand are still the Quandt family whose grandfather Günther Quandt definitely was Nazi member, collaborator, donator and massively profiteered from the slave labour by concentration camp victims and prisoners of war.
Ford is a closer comparison, but even there, Henry Ford was no longer really involved in the company when he went really publicly off the rails (he'd handed it over to his son by then). There's not much precedent for Tesla's situation, where the _current_ leadership is being publicly insane.
