In the early hours of March 5, 2024, a fire broke out at an electricity transmission tower in the state of Brandenburg. Although the fire was extinguished by firefighters, the power grid was damaged, causing power outages to Tesla's Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg and surrounding villages.

'If it's arson, it's a betrayal of our electricity infrastructure. Thousands of people are cut off from electricity and are at risk,' said Michael Studen, Brandenburg's interior minister. We will respond to such acts of interference with the utmost severity.'
A far-left group calling itself Vulkangruppe (Vulkangruppe: ``Volcano Group'' in Japanese) issued a statement saying that this fire was their fault.

The Vulkangruppe is concerned about the fact that gigafactories are contaminating surrounding water resources, affecting drinking water, and that the mining of lithium, the material for batteries, is sacrificing the livelihoods of local and indigenous people in Chile and Bolivia. Insist that there is. He explained that the primary goal was to cut power to the Gigafactory, and that the fire was caused by short-circuiting the wires.
Although the power outage in the village was restored several hours later, the power outage at the Gigafactory continues and is expected to take several days to recover.
In response to this report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, ``They are either the stupidest eco-terrorists on the planet, or puppets of people who don't have proper environmental goals.Electric cars, not fossil fuel cars.'' It would be ``very stupid'' (in German) to try to stop production.''
These are either the dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth or they're puppets of those who don't have good environmental goals.

Stopping production of electric vehicles, rather than fossil fuel vehicles, ist extrem dumm.
