<p>Former CNN politics reporter Chris Cillizza revealed on Wednesday that his Tesla was vandalized with a &#8220;Musk is a Nazi&#8221; sign at his son&#8217;s soccer tournament last weekend.</p>
<p>Cillizza, a left-wing journalist who worked for CNN from 2017 until 2022, <a href="https://chriscillizza.substack.com/p/someone-defaced-my-tesla">wrote</a> on his Substack that the vandalism is another sign that the politicization of every aspect of American life “is making us all crazy.”</p>
<p>Cillizza recalled the days when owning a Tesla meant “coding yourself as like an enviro-liberal-wacko-communist,&#8221; and now, in 2025, his car “symbolizes everything the left hates.”</p>
<p>“Doesn’t that suggest that there’s an inherent ephemeralness to what an inanimate object ‘means’ in a political context?” Cillizza added. “As in: If the meaning of owning a certain kind of car can change 180 degrees in the space of five years, isn’t it possible that ascribing meaning to it in the first place was misguided?”</p>
<p>In reality, he only bought it as a “cool” car that was really “fun to drive,” not as a “symbol of my support for Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.”</p>
<p>The former CNN writer further aired his grievances over how the politicization of “everything” even extended to chicken sandwiches, noting how eating at Chick-fil-A has led to critiques from his audience like, “How does HATE taste?”</p>
<p><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=memorial&amp;utm_content=editorialmemorialday&amp;_gl=1*1qdq03s*_gcl_au*MTYyNDg0MTE0OS4xNzQxODk4NTMz*_ga*MTEzOTk1NjkxNi4xNzI2MzI1MDQz*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NDgzNzg2NDgkbzEwMDMkZzEkdDE3NDgzODEwMTckajU4JGwwJGgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b data-stringify-type="bold">Get 40% Off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</b></a></p>
<p>“But does a sandwich have to be political at all? I didn’t eat it because I wanted to send a message to gay people. I ate it because it was delicious,” Cillizza wrote. “[Is] it ok to eat Chick-Fil-A now? Or still not because the family who founded it are evangelicals who have, in the past, expressed their opposition to gay marriage?”</p>
<p>The journalist dismissed the idea that merely buying a product “[lines] the pockets of people with views that should be rejected” or “normalizes” their views.</p>
<p>&#8220;If your bar is that you never interact with or buy anything from a company whose founder has taken a position with which you disagree or which has donated to a cause you don&#8217;t support, I find it very hard to believe you are going to make any purchases ever,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The former CNN analyst warned that such extreme politicization is &#8220;making us all crazy&#8221; and &#8220;driving us further from any sort of recognition of our common humanity,&#8221; concluding that Americans would be better served by finding common ground rather than seeking political battles in every aspect of daily life.</p>
