In yet another display of the entitled, unhinged behavior rampant among the leftist elite, a Tesla Cybertruck was deliberately vandalized by a so-called “woke” startup executive—who then had the audacity to lie straight to police officers’ faces. The incident, which took place at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire, was captured on clear, damning video footage shared by Tesla owner Kerri Pouliot. The suspect, identified as James “Jim” Pelis, was seen nonchalantly keying the Cybertruck before denying the crime while still wearing the same neon orange pants he had on during the act.
Despite irrefutable video evidence, Pelis shamelessly played dumb when questioned by law enforcement. In the footage, when asked by an officer, “You didn’t key that Tesla?” Pelis coolly responded, “No.” This brazen dishonesty is emblematic of the left’s culture of zero accountability—where rules don’t apply to them, and consequences are someone else’s problem.
NEW: Man keys a Cybertruck in New Hampshire in his orange pants and then denies keying the truck to police while he was still wearing the orange pants.
Total moron.

Carroll Police Chief Tadd Bailey confirmed the March 22 incident is under active investigation, with charges pending. Yet, one can only imagine the media’s reaction if the roles were reversed—had a conservative been caught on camera committing a felony, the leftist press would have already plastered his face across every major network, demanding maximum punishment. Instead, we’re met with deafening silence from the usual Democrat-aligned outlets, who seem all too eager to ignore crimes committed by their own.

Pelis’s employer, the cybersecurity startup ArmorCode, scrambled to distance itself from the scandal, releasing a milquetoast statement that stopped short of naming him: “ArmorCode has been made aware of an incident where one of our employees allegedly vandalized a Tesla vehicle. We of course do not condone violence or destruction of private property in any way, period. This is now in the hands of the proper authorities.” Notice the careful phrasing—“allegedly”—despite video proof. Corporate America’s double standard is glaring: if this were a Trump supporter, he’d already be fired and publicly crucified.

This incident is a microcosm of the left’s broader disdain for law and order, a stark contrast to President Donald Trump’s unwavering support for police and tough-on-crime policies. While Democrats push defund-the-police agendas and coddle criminals, Trump’s America prioritizes justice, security, and consequences for those who break the law.
