According to the Washington Post, a former federal government employee and his wife, an executive at a clean energy nonprofit, have been charged with defacing several Tesla vehicles in and around the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Northeast Washington.
D.C. police are investigating their actions as hate crimes.
Justin Fisher, 49, surrendered to authorities on Tuesday and was charged with eight counts of defacing private property, police said in a statement. His wife, Emily Fisher, 50, turned herself in to police the next day and was charged with five counts of the same offense, the statement says.
They said they didn’t destroy property, turned themselves in, and cooperated with the police.
The couple wrote nasty comments deriding Elon Musk. On one teacher’s car, they wrote, “Go Doge I support Musk killing the dept of Education.” On another owner’s car, they wrote “Ask me about my support of Nazis” on his rear windshield.
They vandalized six cars; one was hit twice.
The Fishers were charged with misdemeanor offenses and released.
The maximum penalty for defacing private property is a $5,000 fine and up to a year in jail. Prosecutors have not filed hate crime charges, which would increase the penalties.
Whatever possessed them to act so irrationally? So many of the nonprofits are radical left organizations. Perhaps she works for one.

What a couple of scum doofuses. Give them both 20 years in jail.
Elon Musk should announce a diesel powered Tesla, just as a troll.
And just like that, leftists are no longer concerned with the world ending in 2030 and the desperate Democrat measures of forcing EVs on everyone.
Not all leftists are insane, but almost every insane person is a leftist.
Whatever possessed them to act so irrationally?
Leftism. Because as has been demonstrated over the last 50 years, they are not rational people. They are internally broken, unhappy, dismal, bitter, and jaded and it takes very little to push them over the edge. This is why Leftism is a cult and attracts these mentally challenged individuals like a moth to a flame. Sure, most may look normal, do normal things, but after every heinous criminal act, what’s the first thing you hear people say? He was such a normal boy/girl. I never saw any indication he/she was capable of this. He/she seemed like such a well adjusted type.
They see the world through the lens of emotion, not logic, reason and common sense. They are less developed emotionally than the majority.
Development ‘gone wrong’…
You got it right, they are possessed.
