Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and facilities across the U.S. have been targeted in a shocking series of arson attacks, vandalism, and protests since Elon Musk took on his new role in the White House. Attorney General Pam Bondi has condemned the attacks, labeling them “nothing short of domestic terrorism” and vowing severe consequences for those responsible.
Latest Attack in Las Vegas
The most recent incident occurred Tuesday morning when five Tesla vehicles were set on fire at a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the suspect, dressed in black, used Molotov cocktails and a firearm. The words “RESIST” were spray-painted on the facility doors. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is now investigating.
Kansas City and Other Attacks
On Monday, two Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire at a Kansas City dealership in what police suspect was another arson attack. Similar incidents have occurred in Oregon, Massachusetts, and other states, with shootings, vandalism, and protests escalating.
Growing Concerns and Investigations
With no arrests yet, authorities are intensifying their investigations. Musk has spoken out, questioning the violent backlash. As Tesla’s stock plunges, the attacks raise concerns over corporate security and political tensions.
