Trans Tesla Vandal Arrested for Molotov Cocktail Attacks Amid Rising Tensions

[Social Media]

 

A 42-year-old transgender woman accused of hurling Molotov cocktails at vehicles and defacing a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, has been identified as Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson. According to sources, Nelson lives with her mother due to "emotional problems" and refers to herself as "baby" online.  

 

 

Nelson allegedly carried out multiple acts of vandalism at the dealership, spray-painting offensive graffiti on company signs and vehicles, including phrases such as “Nazi cars” and “f—k Musk,” a direct attack on Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The suspect was arrested on February 24 after returning to the dealership, allegedly carrying additional incendiary devices and materials used for vandalism. Police described the graffiti as “offensive and hateful in nature.”  

 

 

Nelson, who is listed as female on her driver’s license and police booking records, now faces a federal charge of malicious destruction. She was released on a $100,000 cash bond. Federal authorities have declined to clarify whether she is being prosecuted as male or female.  

 

Nelson’s father, Claiborne “Jerry” Nelson, 82, told *The Post* that his daughter changed her name a few years ago and has struggled to maintain employment. “He’s in his early 40s but has been living with his mother, who has been taking care of him,” Claiborne said. “He has emotional problems. He hasn’t been able to keep a job.”  

 

 

While Nelson’s motivations remain unclear, social media posts and police documents provide some insight into her activities. A police affidavit includes screenshots of Facebook posts showing a burning Nazi flag and a masked selfie. In other posts, Nelson documented her gender transition, writing, “baby got her first bra… behold the power of socks” and “baby got her first dress” alongside images of herself in feminine clothing.  

 

A Reddit account under Nelson’s full name, which has since been suspended, posted in October 2023, “all bigots should be killed,” before clarifying, “morally speaking, that is… don’t actually because going to prison sucks.”  

 

The Loveland Police Department confirmed that the incendiary devices found at the scene were dangerous and not mere fireworks. “I know that there’s been some rumors that it was just fireworks and bottle rockets, and that is not the case. That is not true,” said Chris Padgett, a police spokesperson. “The devices that were discovered had potential for serious damage.”  

 

Authorities began investigating in late January after Tesla’s Loveland dealership was vandalized on three separate occasions. When Nelson was arrested, she was found with gasoline, spray paint, empty liquor bottles, and cloth soaked in accelerant inside her car. At least four cars, valued at a total of $220,000, had been targeted with firebombs, according to the arrest affidavit.  

 

Photos from a criminal complaint filed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives show Tesla signs and Cybertrucks defaced with spray paint, as well as small fires across the dealership lot, believed to have been started by Molotov cocktails inside vodka bottles. Surveillance images captured Nelson throwing explosives at the vehicles.  

 

The attacks coincide with an online movement called #TeslaTakedown, which urges shareholders to divest from Tesla and encourages car owners to sell their vehicles. The movement, associated with actor Alex Winter of *Bill & Ted* fame, opposes Musk’s role in President Trump’s cost-cutting task force, DOGE, which has eliminated over 62,000 federal jobs since January. However, Winter’s *Rolling Stone* op-ed does not promote violence.  

 

President Trump addressed the Tesla attacks on Tuesday, stating that future acts of vandalism against Tesla facilities would be classified as “domestic terrorism.” He emphasized, “They’re harming a great American company.”  

 

As the case against Nelson unfolds, the investigation continues into whether the attacks were politically motivated or part of a broader anti-Tesla movement.

I saw a clip of him being interviewed a few days ago, he looked genuinely rattled, never saw him before without the chimpanzee facial expressions.  Maybe he was crashing from some medication. 

Looks like he's pushing himself too hard, my guess is he'll sell off something.  I'd go with the cars, they are a chronic problem with recalls and liabilities: he sells it to GM (for example) and they inherit all the innovations it brings.  I wonder if DT can pin something on him so convincingly egregious that he will be banished from US gov't dealings -- there goes the rocket taxi.

Do bear in mind this is the guy who wants to put a chip in your brain

I think all this ridiculous display and deception is going hurt his name (meaning his brand).  When it's time to get him out of the WH they'll sic the dogs Fox/OAN on him.

Protest yes, fire bomb no.

 

A decade or more in prison should help with the distinction.

Thats where the foot soldiers of the Socialist movement come from.

Musk is a total social misfit, and is not wearing his wealth, nor his power lightly. Musk appears to have extremist tendencies. I am hoping he goes on one of his Mars missions, but we all know he does not have nearly enough courage for something like that. I have respect for his achievements, but zero respect for the small man. 

 

He's a completely ridiculous man, the more wealthy he's become the more obnoxious he's become, the more arrogant he's become, the more self-righteous and the more insufferable. Trump made a tremendous mistake by giving him more power than he already had, and time will reveal what a tragic decision that was.

 

Boycott Tesla, don't buy anything that he is associated with, knock him off his pedestal, bring him back down to earth, try to knock some sense into his absolutely foolish head, and take some pride in doing the right thing and helping America. Musk is despised like never before, and aligning himself with Trump will likely be the stupidest thing he's ever done from a business point of view.

No. I mean, in 1933 and later there were people who thaught they were owners of the one truth and whatever they did to others was justified, because it was a "fight for the good".

See what I mean? Guess not. Stay woke 🙂

How do you know if a poster is from what you deem to be "Right" or "Left"?

Just because someone objects to a specific politician/policy does not necessarily attach them to any specific party or ideology, never mind being "Right" or "Left" etc.

 

PS;  Are you trained in detecting "mental illness"?

If not I suggest you do not diagnose people with such a problem/illness.
