The comment was posted as a response to an X post about a Supercharger stall that was vandalized with Nazi graffiti.
The incident:
As could be seen in a photo posted by X user @SnazzyLabs, a Supercharger stall was vandalized with the word “Nazi” and a swastika.“This graffiti at my local Supercharger would suggest that perhaps Elon Musk is damaging Tesla’s brand,” the X user wrote.In a follow-up post, the X user noted that the adjacent Supercharger stall had been tagged by graffiti as well.
Will be removed by tomorrow morning. Our network will stay in first class condition for our customers.

Anti-Tesla and Musk sentiments:
Elon Musk is among the most controversial people in the world today, thanks to his increasingly conservative leanings and his close work with U.S. President Donald Trump through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).This has resulted in Teslas and Tesla stores being targeted by people extremely critical of Musk.In recent weeks, protests have been held at Tesla locations. A Tesla store also became the victim of a shooting incident in Salem, Oregon, last week.
