(Opinion) A savage wave of doxxing and swatting in 2025 has turned America into a war zone, with no group safe from the violent spiral’s fallout.
First, let’s define the chaos. Doxxing exposes private details—names, addresses, phone numbers—online without consent, aiming to harm. Meanwhile, swatting sends fake emergency calls, like bomb threats, to summon SWAT teams.
The Violent Spiral Begins
This nightmare began with platforms like Dogequest targeting conservative commentators like Tim Pool and Brett Cooper, and exposing Tesla owners’ personal data in a vicious backlash tied to Elon Musk’s association with Donald Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) role in helping to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in our Government-which the majority of voters endorse.
The attackers are the “wounded dogs”—a pack of aggrieved, rabid aggressors lashing out from a place of perceived injury, fueled by ideological resentment. Their assault has spiraled, dragging liberals, moderates, and apolitical citizens into a maelstrom that endangers free speech and safety.
Escalation Hits Hard
Dogequest unleashes names, addresses, and vehicle IDs, but the wounded dogs’ fury escalated by adding swatting to doxxing. Fabricated calls of fake crises have triggered SWAT raids on Tesla owners’ and conservative commentators’ homes in the dead of night, plunging families into terror and draining police resources. Vandalism and firebombings at conservative businesses, Tesla dealerships, and charging stations—mapped online with Molotov cocktail cursors—fan a hot climate of dread.
The Violent Spiral Spreads
The devastation spreads wide. Right side, left side, in the middle or no side the ripple is and will be hitting you on some level. Now everyone from every sector must brace themselves for the wounded dogs’ retaliatory doxxing and swatting. Liberals seem to be applauding. Moderates are going mute, fearing Tesla ownership or any stance at all might draw the pack’s bite.
Apolitical drivers of Teslas suffer most cruelly—lives exposed and raided, not for beliefs, but for a car caught in the crosshairs.
Free Speech Crumbles
Self-censorship soars. America’s economy shakes. Trust fades quickly. For instance, speaking freely now invites doxxing or worse. Therefore, democracy bleeds as the wounded dogs’ fury escalates. Everyone braces for retaliation.
