Law enforcement officials and domestic extremism experts have found no evidence to support claims from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump that recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships are coordinated. Despite Musk claiming the attacks were coordinated and Trump suggesting they are the work of left-wing political activists, the FBI and ATF have not found any evidence of such coordination.
At least 10 Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and facilities have been vandalized, with cars being set on fire and defaced. Some online platforms appeared to encourage people to target Tesla vehicles, but the origins of these sites are unknown. Musk has condemned the attacks, calling them coordinated, and Trump has labeled them domestic terrorism.
Three individuals have been charged with vandalizing Tesla properties in different states, but court documents do not mention any coordination. Despite Musk’s close relationship with Trump and his role in government cuts, a growing dislike of him and Tesla has led to organized protests, such as Tesla Takedown, which disavows violence.
While there have been widespread incidents of vandalism against Tesla locations, including shooting and throwing Molotov cocktails, there has been no evidence of coordination in these attacks. The FBI is working with law enforcement partners to investigate the incidents. Trump’s suggestion of extraditing vandals to El Salvador has raised concerns about labeling the vandalism as terrorism. Experts caution against such actions, emphasizing the importance of due process and the rule of law.
