The DOJ investigating increased attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations and vehicles as acts of domestic terrorism.
Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing a statement on Tuesday reading in part, quote, The DOJ has already charged several perpetrators with that meaning terror in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five year mandatory minimum sentences.
Since Doge, unofficially headed by Elon Musk, began slashing waste, fraud and abuse, the car company also owned by Musk, now the target of waves of vandalism. Musk responding to the attacks on Tuesday night.
Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never done anything harmful. I've never done anything harmful. I've only done productive things. There's some kind of mental illness thing going on here because this doesn't make any sense. I think there are larger forces at work as well. I mean, I don't know who's funding it and who's coordinating it.
The reason we're seeing this extreme amount of hatred and violence is because we're actually succeeding in getting rid of corruption and waste. If we weren't succeeding in getting rid of corruption and waste, they wouldn't care.
On Tuesday in Las Vegas, at least five vehicles destroyed by fire with at least three rounds fired at a Tesla store. The assailant spray painting the word resist in red across the storefront.

Similar attacks reported across at least 10 states and in other countries like England and Germany. The acts of vandalism sarcastically condemned by ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel.
Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so. People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don't vandalize, don't ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.
And so a group called DogeQuest publishing a website earlier this week showing not just the locations of dealerships and charging stations, but also exposing personal information of Tesla owners. The site stating at DogeQuest, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home.

Chapter 3: How has the anti-Tesla movement affected its stock price?
Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz supporting the anti-Tesla campaign at a recent town hall event.
Saying on my phone, I know some of you know this on the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day.
$2.25 and dropping.
So...
Tesla employs more than 120,000 Americans and is one of the most valuable companies in the world, even with the recent drop in stock price. The Manhattan federal judge overseeing the deportation case of Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University agitator, ordering the case moved to New Jersey. Mr. Khalil arrested nearly two weeks ago outside his New York home by Homeland Security agents.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoking Mr. Khalil's green card, retaliating against his participation in a student group which reportedly sympathizes with Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror organization.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a pro-Palestinian group, staged a takeover of Columbia's Hamilton Hall last year, effectively holding two maintenance workers hostage for a time, breaking windows, damaging school property, and disrupting campus life, particularly for Jewish students.
The group presented a long list of demands, chiefly Colombia's divestment from all Israeli-linked companies or else. Ultimately, NYPD officers called in, arresting around 300 people.
While there's no evidence Mr. Khalil participated in that takeover, he was involved in the creation of a Gaza Solidarity encampment on Colombia's campus and acted as the lead negotiator for these groups, attempting to secure their demands with Colombia faculty. Mr. Khalil has been seen on video referring to the October 7th Hamas terror attack in Israel as, quote, armed resistance.
