Amid rising violence directed at Tesla vehicles and their showrooms, Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, has described these incidents as “wide-scale domestic terrorism.” He has called on authorities to identify and target those who orchestrate and fund these attacks, labeling the situation as fundamentally one of intimidation.
Reports indicate that the violence against Tesla has escalated, with incidents occurring across the country. These range from minor acts of vandalism, like scratching or graffiti, to more serious offenses such as arson and even drive-by shootings aimed at Tesla cars.
Over the weekend, a significant protest movement, identified as the “Tesla Takedown,” organized a “Global Day of Action” that focused on over 500 Tesla locations worldwide. This protest was largely seen as a statement against Musk and his companies.
Musk spoke out, emphasizing the need to hold accountable not just the individuals committing these acts, but those who are funding and planning them. He referred to the perpetrators as “foot soldiers,” and stressed that the real challenge lies in taking down the “generals” behind these actions.
According to Musk, both the President and Attorney General Bondi have indicated their commitment to confronting those who finance and organize such violence. The administration is aware of who these leaders are, and action will be taken against them.
In reaction to the increased violence, the FBI has formed a task force focused on investigating attacks against Tesla owners. FBI Director Kash Patel stated that these incidents are being classified as acts of domestic terrorism, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
This story is still unfolding, and it is essential to stay informed about the developments in this troubling wave of violence against Tesla.
