Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
It's not safe to assume insurance plans will cover acts of """terrorism""" or vandalism by default. Not to mention that insurance companies will pull any trick they can to get out of paying, so they actually have incentive to make the argument that Elon Musk provoked the protests (reckless or intentional misconduct).
Efficient Proximate Cause Doctrine - Insurance often covers direct vandalism, but if the insurer argues the root cause was the CEO’s illegal actions, they could deny the claim.
Elon Musk's actions that caused the protests are technically crimes, the insurance companies may claim that they are not responsible for forseeable consequences that occur while Elon Musk is committing a crime.
The insurance company could claim that the dealership should have hired additional security in response to the actions of the CEO.
If Trump classifies the damages as """terrorism""", some insurance plans will deny claims if you did not pay extra for terrorism coverage.
Fraud - can the insurer prove that the CEO intentionally provoked protests to destroy inventory and claim insurance money? Or merely suggest the possibility of an investigation as a threat?
This is quite a good analysis of the situation and I like it, thanks for sharing!
