Stephen Miller Kisses Up to Musk by Slamming Tesla Attacks

The White House aide is blaming the “violently radicalized” for Musk’s cars being targeted.

Stephen Miller made a new show of fealty to Elon Musk on Friday by claiming a “violently radicalized hard left” is behind attacks on Tesla cars and their drivers.

The White House Deputy Chief of Staff joined a MAGA onslaught of rage at the backlash Elon Musk has faced—manifested in a series of incidents including arson and road rage.

“A growing portion of the hard left has been violently radicalized,” Miller wrote in a post Friday morning to X. “The left must never be returned to a position of national power.”

The Trump aide-cum-reply guy was commenting on a video he reposted of part of a FOX 13 Seattle report showing a masked man allegedly chasing down a female Tesla driver and calling it a “Nazi car.”

The woman, named only as “Leigh,” said she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment Wednesday morning when she was suddenly cut off by a white SUV that stopped in front of her. Then the driver, a man in a ski mask and a camouflage jacket, walked out of his car and began berating her.

“He gets out and walks straight up to my door window. So I cracked my window and I said, ‘What? What is the problem?’” she said. “He goes, ‘You need to sell your car. This is a Nazi car. You’re driving it, you need to sell your car.’”

Miller, one of Trump’s most trusted aides and an outspoken critic of “the left,” jumped on the local news segment as fresh evidence of the conspiracy against Tesla and Musk, which MAGA claims is behind the attacks.

Anti-Tesla sentiment has been on the rise since Musk was appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and began making cuts to the federal workforce.

Reactions have ranged from setting the vehicles on fire in Las Vegas to shooting up a Tesla dealership in Oregon.

New data also revealed that Tesla trade-ins are reaching record highs. Data from analysts Edmunds showed that around 1.4 percent of vehicles purchased then exchanged at a dealership until mid-March have been Teslas, a rise from 0.4 percent since March of last year.

This budding bromance between Miller and the Tesla CEO comes after Musk uploaded a video Thursday of Miller claiming that the Department of Education is “overwhelmingly staffed by radical left Marxist bureaucrats.” He backs up Miller’s statement with a single “100″ emoji.
