A group of Tesla owners faced violent attacks while volunteering at a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade. Radical leftists hurled insults, beer cans, and heavy objects at their Cybertrucks, causing thousands in damages. The drivers were called “Nazis” and told to leave the city simply for supporting Elon Musk’s company.
Josh Hazel, a military veteran with over 20 years of service, joined the parade to help transport organizers. He never expected his patriotism to be questioned. Hazel’s friend Christina also volunteered her Cybertruck. Both vehicles were decorated with American flags, showing pride in their country and the innovative tech they love.
The day started with cheers and photo requests. But things turned ugly fast. Drunken crowds began throwing beads with violent force. One attacker smashed the glass on Hazel’s truck, hitting his wife in the head. Christina’s vehicle was pummeled so hard the top glass shattered.
Parade officials left these volunteers stranded for over an hour as the mob attacked. Hazel described the hate as “shocking.” His wife suffered headaches for days after being struck. Repair costs hit $7,000 for Hazel and $2,000 for Christina—all because they dared to drive a truck the left dislikes.
Crowds screamed insults about Elon Musk and “DOGE,” showing their ignorance. Some even encouraged children to flip off the drivers. This wasn’t just vandalism—it was political bullying. Hazel rightly called out the hypocrisy, noting true patriots don’t attack service members over a car choice.
New Orleans police have done little to find the culprits. Hazel filed reports, but justice moves slowly. It’s clear liberal cities care more about coddling criminals than protecting law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, conservatives nationwide face similar harassment for supporting American-made products.
Instead of backing down, Hazel and Christina bought more Tesla stock. They’re expanding their fleet, refusing to let mob rule dictate their lives. This defiance shows the best of conservative values—standing tall against intimidation.
Sadly, these attacks fit a pattern. Radical groups have targeted Tesla centers with arson and bullets. President Trump rightly called it domestic terrorism. The left’s tantrums won’t stop hardworking Americans from embracing greatness. Every attack just proves how threatened they feel by Musk’s success.
