Driving a Tesla ‘has become toxic’: Owners scrubbing off logos amid rising Elon Musk anger

Some Tesla owners are taking extreme steps to protect themselves from vandalism as acts of aggression against Tesla, Tesla owners, and Elon Musk himself ramp up across the nation.Using a heat gun, screw gun, and fishing line, Jordan Schwartz revealed to KING 5 that he removed the Tesla logos from his vehicle.“It’s symbolic, but I think symbols matter,” Schwartz told KING 5. “It’s tearing down a flag; it’s raising a flag.”But, according to Schwartz, he’s not removing the logos from his car out of fear of retaliation but out of concern for Musk’s politics and that he might be an antisemite.“I won’t be cowed by Nazis or people on the left,” Schwartz continued. “I am doing this because I want to make a statement about my ideology. Not out of fear.”He has since removed Tesla logos for several other people’s cars, with owners wanting them gone for wide-ranging reasons. Schwartz told KING 5 that he would remove the logos for any Tesla owners who wanted the job done. Schwartz even developed a step-by-step guide on how to remove the Tesla logos.
