In his latest Sunday Times column, Jeremy Clarkson, the former host of the wildly popular car shows Top Gear and The Grand Tour, took aim at Elon Musk, reigniting a feud that dates back to 2008 when Clarkson gave a critical review of a Tesla Roadster on the program. The conflict between the two personalities has resurfaced amidst the growing climate of domestic terrorism as leftist lunatics firebomb and vandalize Tesla facilities and vehicles.
Clarkson’s article highlights the irony of the situation, as many of those now vandalizing Teslas were once ardent supporters of Musk and his mission to promote electric vehicles and combat “climate change.”
Clarkson writes:
The fact, then, is this. I was always scrupulously fair with my car reviews. Musk claimed I wasn’t. And this is his payback. And what makes it so juicy is that he’s being pecked to death by the very people who put him on the pedestal in the first place. The eco hippies. The net-zero disciples of Ed Miliband and Al Gore. They loved his idea of electrical cars running on nothing but wind and sunshine and they swooned when he provided his eco-fresh Starlink communication technology to those poor beleaguered soldiers in Ukraine.
