Two Teslas for the price of one!
For the second night in a row, on Sunday February 9, a Tesla electric car caught fire in the Neustadt district of Dresden. The front part of the car was completely consumed in just a few minutes, on Eberswalder Straße.
The previous evening, Saturday 8th, another Tesla had already caught fire in the same Neustadt district. According to the police, the first fire occurred at almost the same time as the second, and a technical cause is virtually ruled out. Investigators are therefore assuming a link between the two incidents, and have opened an “arson” investigation. On the first Tesla set on fire, a sticker was affixed to the front window, with the following text: “On February 13 and 15, take to the streets, disrupt the commemoration, block the Nazis*.”
Reporting on the repeated destruction, regional TV station MDR logically couldn’t help but ask out loud “Are the fires linked to Elon Musk?”, before providing a few snippets of a possible explanation of its own, as follows: “Tesla is a product of American tech billionaire Elon Musk. He had supported the right-wing populist Donald Trump with large sums of money during the election campaign, before being appointed by Trump to the new government. Elon Musk is also accused of supporting right-wing populists in Europe and interfering in election campaigns, including the AfD’s candidate for [German] chancellor, Alice Weidel, via his social media channel X.”

Note of Sans Nom: On February 13 and 15, 1945, more than 25,000 people died under the 650,000 phosphorus incendiary bombs dropped by the Allies on the city of Dresden. Eighty years later, as a commemorative human chain is planned each year in response to a call from the institutions, the far right, which has the wind in its sails ahead of the forthcoming parliamentary elections on February 25, is exploiting these bombings more than ever to minimize Nazi crimes.
