New Jersey Boots Tesla EV Superchargers Off Turnpike As Dems Target Musk
Will Jersey electric vehicle drivers suffer for Phil Murphy’s slap at Elon Musk?

In what sure looks like petty partisanship with zero regard for the public interest, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is kicking 64 Tesla EV “superchargers” off the highway’s service areas. [emphasis, links added]
Democratic hacks are very, very mad at Elon Musk for not only working hard (and giving big) to help President Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris, but for his DOGE drive to slash federal waste (which Dems know mostly feeds their special interests).
Jersey is one of several states suing to block DOGE access to Treasury records, and Musk sparred with Gov. Phil Murphy (who basically controls the Authority) on X, cheering when Border Czar Tom Homan said he’d check out Murphy’s claim to be hiding an illegal immigrant in his home.
Musk’s company saw this coming: It’s already built 116 charging stations just off the Turnpike to preserve Tesla drivers’ access to speedy turnarounds.
