During a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, Tesla Cybertruck owners faced violent attacks from a hostile crowd. Joshua Hazel and Christina G. volunteered their vehicles to transport parade marshals, only to be targeted by protestors hurling insults, beer cans, and beads. The incident highlights growing tensions over Elon Musk’s leadership and political ties.
The drivers described the crowd as “aggressive” and “hateful,” with some calling them “Nazis” and shouting anti-Musk slogans. Hazel’s wife was struck in the head by beads thrown forcefully at their truck. Both vehicles suffered broken windows and damaged exteriors, costing thousands in repairs.
Despite the vandalism, the owners doubled down on their support for Tesla. Hazel bought 185 additional shares, while Christina purchased a Cybertruck model toy. They refused to let the attacks dictate their choices, calling it a stand against “bullying.” Their loyalty reflects a broader pushback from conservatives who view such incidents as censorship of free speech.
The parade route turned dangerous as crowds pelted the trucks with heavy objects. Security response was slow, leaving the drivers trapped for over an hour. One marshal later admitted organizers failed to anticipate backlash against Musk’s role in government cost-cutting efforts. Critics argue the hostility mirrors left-wing disdain for American innovation.
Anti-Tesla vandalism has surged nationwide, including a Las Vegas service center firebombing days earlier. President Trump condemned these acts as “domestic terrorism,” urging stronger protections for business owners. The New Orleans attacks underscore how Musk’s partnership with Trump has made Tesla a political target.
Liberals mocked the drivers online, claiming they deserved the backlash for supporting Musk. This dismissive attitude ignores the rule of law and normalizes mob violence. Conservatives argue such behavior threatens free enterprise and silences patriotic Americans proud of their values.
Elon Musk’s efforts to streamline federal spending have earned him admiration from fiscal conservatives but rage from the left. The Mardi Gras incident shows how cultural divisions are spilling into everyday life, with Tesla owners caught in the crossfire. Protecting private property and free expression must remain priorities.
This story isn’t just about damaged trucks—it’s about standing firm against intimidation. Hazel and Christina’s refusal to back down sends a message: Americans won’t be bullied into abandoning their beliefs or their right to drive whatever vehicle they choose.
