The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a “domestic terrorism taskforce” to deal with the major uptick in vandalism on Teslas since Elon Musk politically aligned with the Trump administration. The surge in violent incidents targeting Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations across the United States, including arson and vandalism, have been officially classified as “domestic terrorism” by the ruling class.
The ten-member task force includes personnel from the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and intelligence analysts, the New York Times reported on Monday. In a post on X, FBI Director Kash Patel stated that the agency was cracking down on those responsible for the attacks.
“The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response,” Patel wrote. “This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice.”
Since late January, dozens of attacks have targeted Tesla cars, dealerships, and charging stations in the US and Canada, sometimes accompanied by anti-Musk graffiti. There have been 48 reported incidents involving Tesla properties in March alone, with seven currently under active investigation, according to the New York Post.
The new task force has been tasked with investigating both past and recent attacks – including the discovery of incendiary devices at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, on Monday – and coordinating with local law enforcement agencies to prevent further incidents. –RT
Currently, the FBI claims it is also monitoring a planned protest, “Tesla Takedown,” scheduled for March 29th, which aims to organize demonstrations at Tesla showrooms and charging stations nationwide.
“Domestic Terrorism” Declared In Violent Tesla Attacks
Ruler Donald Trump has also condemned the attacks on vehicles as domestic terrorism. He has suggested harsh penalties, including sending perpetrators to serve 20-year prison sentences in El Salvador’s notorious mega prison.
Accoridng to a report by RT, Attorney General Pam Bondi aligns with Trump’s stance, stating that the Department of Justice will impose “severe consequences” on those involved, including individuals who coordinate or fund such crimes. As of Monday, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the attacks.
