Amid rising concerns about targeted violence, US Attorney General Pam Bondi has characterized the recent assaults on Tesla properties as 'domestic terrorism.' Bondi assured the public of thorough investigations aimed at uncovering the responsible parties and the financial sources behind these incidents.
Following a destructive fire at a Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported that the attack involved Molotov cocktails and gunfire, aimed at damaging Tesla vehicles. The incident has triggered a federal probe, with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force joining the efforts to apprehend the suspect.
Similar attacks have been reported in Kansas City, where two Tesla Cybertrucks were set ablaze, and in Oregon and Massachusetts, where Tesla dealerships faced vandalism. As Tesla's properties continue to be targeted, Elon Musk expressed confusion over the animosity directed towards his companies.
