Protesters burning Teslas in some cities are getting called out for their actions. Fox News host Jimmy Failla blasted the attacks as not just criminal but “weapons-grade stupid.” He pointed out the irony of targeting electric vehicles meant to help the environment.
Failla slammed the hypocrisy of blaming Elon Musk while ignoring bigger issues. He joked that these protesters probably still use iPhones and wear Nike shoes made in factories they claim to hate. It’s like complaining about gas cars while riding a bicycle made of plastic, he said.
The comedian turned news host compared the protesters to someone who thinks giving O.J. Simpson a second chance is a good idea. He mocked their logic, saying burning cars won’t fix anything. Failla argued it’s easier to smash things than have real solutions.
He also took shots at Washington’s spending habits, noting the U.S. has record tax revenue but still piles up debt. Failla said trusting politicians to fix this is like trusting a shady used car salesman. He joked the only thing growing faster than the national debt is his wife’s side-eye when he buys lottery tickets.
Regular folks are caught in the crossfire. A Tesla owner whose car was torched said it’s unfair to punish everyday people for political fights. Failla agreed, saying these protests hurt working Americans trying to mind their own business.
As host of “Fox News Saturday Night,” Failla mixes comedy with conservative takes. He’s known for poking fun at what he calls “liberal nonsense.” His background as a NYC cab driver gives him a blunt, everyman style that resonates with his audience.
The debate over protests vs. property damage isn’t new. But Failla says this Tesla burning trend shows how some activists care more about headlines than results. He ended with a warning: “Next time you see a guy with a Molotov cocktail, ask if he’s ever balanced a checkbook.”
Conservatives are cheering Failla’s no-nonsense take. They argue real change comes through innovation, not destruction. With Failla’s voice growing louder, expect more pushback against what he calls “theater activism” in the months ahead.
