Summary
The coordinated attacks being launched on Tesla are now being called acts of terrorism. This began with organized protests at Tesla dealerships. It then expanded to dozens of locations across the United States—and then began escalating into threats of violence, arson, and other actions targeting Tesla as a form of retaliation for Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration. Musk went public and alleged that the attacks were being coordinated by a group of far-left organizations and major left-wing figures. And now, the Trump administration is saying the attacks represent a form of domestic terrorism, which could result in criminal charges.
