Tesla dealerships are being targeted in the wake of Elon Musk’s links to the White House
Trump has made a bold threat to anyone who attacks Elon Musk or Tesla dealerships.
Recent incidents at Tesla showrooms have been on the rise, with escalating tensions surrounding Elon Musk’s involvement with the White House. 🚗💥
However, it’s not just Tesla showrooms that are being targeted. Privately owned Tesla vehicles, charging stations, and even vehicle lots have come under attack. The surge in these incidents coincides with Musk’s appointment as a leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, an agency known for aggressively slashing government spending since its establishment. 🔥💡
As tensions grow, it’s clear that the connection between Musk’s political role and these attacks is fueling a new wave of backlash.
As of March 19, Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has saved an impressive $155 billion, but his aggressive cost-cutting measures have stirred up serious backlash among some Americans. This anger seems to be spilling over into Tesla-related incidents, with growing attacks targeting the brand and its properties. 🚗🔥
The Pacific Northwest has seen some of the most intense reactions, with Portland and Seattle experiencing a rise in hostility, according to AP. In Las Vegas, Tesla vehicles were set on fire outside one of the company’s service centers on March 18, and vandals defaced the building with the word “resist” across its front doors.
In response to the escalating violence, US Attorney General Pam Bondi made a bold statement. She confirmed that three suspects arrested for domestic terrorism and attacks on Tesla properties could face up to 20 years in prison. “The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” she warned. “If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.” 🚔🔒
In a severe warning of his own, President Donald Trump took to TruthSocial on March 21, voicing his support for strict penalties. He wrote:
“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have recently gained fame for their lovely conditions!” 👀
One of the prisons in El Salvador has earned a notorious reputation as ‘the world’s worst’, and President Trump recently sent 250 alleged criminals there, further cementing its infamy. This facility, which can reportedly hold up to 40,000 inmates, has become a symbol of Trump’s tough stance on crime.
Trump’s recent remarks come in the wake of his declaration that violence against Tesla dealerships would be classified as domestic terrorism. Earlier this month, he warned that those responsible would “go through hell,” while praising Tesla as “a great American company.” To show his support for Elon Musk and his groundbreaking car company, Trump even took the step of purchasing one of Tesla’s electric vehicles for himself. 🚗⚡
