You can't actually swipe right on who you want to blow up today, but a nifty map of Tesla owners and dealers with a Molotov cocktail cursor must be the next best thing, right? Maybe the "Molotv" app is coming soon to the Google Play store. 

If you're a lefty just itching to do violence upon your fellow Americans who A) Have the gall to disagree with you politically, and B) Own a Tesla, today is your lucky day to pop open a browser tab and find a nearby victim.

"Find a victim?" Excuse me, I mean, "Demonstrate your moral superiority through the initiation of violence."

The site is called Dogequest (I won't link to it) and features "a searchable map [of] what it claims to be the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners across the United States," 404 Media reported Tuesday. "The map also includes the addresses of Tesla dealerships, the rough locations of Tesla superchargers, and the personal information of employees of the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."

Screenshots captured by the New York Post show the site encouraging users to take advantage of the No Trace Project to scrub their browser history "before you embark on any adventure" and that if you want Dogequest to remove your personal data, "Just provide us with proof you've sold your Tesla."

Not all the data appears to be accurate, according to 404, so that could get interesting. The text is all very wink-wink-nudge-nudge, but the Molotov cursor pretty much says it all.

The Right has said for years (decades?) that most everything the Left does is astroturfed, and if there's one thing DOGE proved, it's exactly that. So my question is: who funded Dogequest?

Targeted attack in Vegas yesterday

QuoteA person armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a "targeted attack" against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray-painting "resist," firing several shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.

Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.

"This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, " Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters. "We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public."

I don't know if it's the same thing, but a site called "dogequest" has a description (I wont visit the site) that states "DOGEQUEST is the ultimate hub for fans of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to map and explore DOGE related landmarks. We also connect Tesla Motors owners with each other, using our AI-driven networking features."

I don't think they're being honest? 
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

PJMedia isn't being honest?!?!

I'm talking about the site itself. It claims to be "the ultimate hub for fans of the Department of Government Efficiency". Assuming this is the right site.



I was wondering how someone could create an app that had an intended purpose of vandalizing private property. Answer: say that the app is for something else.

I don't know much about the app. I'll find it somewhere other than PJMedia.  You are right in that I take anything that comes from that site with a grain of salt.

QuoteA website called "Dogequest" has posted what it claims is the personal information of Tesla owners across the United States, an apparent act of intimidation that comes in the wake of protests against Elon Musk and the billionaire's ties to President Donald Trump.

The website claims to "empower creative expressions of protest" through exposing the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of Tesla owners, reported 404 Media, an investigative website that focuses on technology.

The Dogequest site says it will remove the Tesla owners' identifying information if they provide proof that they've sold their electric vehicles, according to the report.

There is a salesman who comes in here, that bought a tesla a couple of years ago. He's getting nervous. He said, he's thinking about selling it. He said, "I bought this thing hoping to do my part to help the environment, but I didn't sign up for this shit."

He should wear a MAGA cap while driving it. Democrats are a docile group of people.

That's pretty sad. But it would likely be difficult to sell a Tesla right now.

the one thing that this proves to me, if the left will do this to a vehicle\company that help the environment, they are not really about helping the environment, they are just about control. The environment is the means to the end for them.

There are Teslas in Seattle sporting bumper stickers that say "I bought this before I knew Musk was an asshole."  :lol:

That's a very Republican way to rationalize it.  :hrhr:

What a great idea! The people who came up with that bumper sticker should make some nice coin on that idea. I hope it works!

Capitalism at its finest. :cheers:
