According to Bondi, one person is now behind bars facing up to 20 years in prison after throwing a Molotov cocktail through a dealership. Bondi says police across the U.S. are investigating vandalism and attacks, including another incident where gunshots were fired at a Tesla showroom.

The website “Tesla Takedown” has become a hub for people protesting Musk’s budget cuts and mass firings of federal workers as part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Bondi said they’re targeting Musk for his political affiliation.

What has Trump said about the Tesla vandalism?

President Donald Trump said earlier this week he’d be open to labeling those who attack Tesla as domestic terrorists. 

“We already know who some of them are; we are going to catch them. If you do it to any company, we will catch you, and you are gonna go through hell,” Trump said at the White House.

On Wednesday, March 12, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted to X, “The attacks must be investigated as domestic terrorism.” Greene added she and her colleagues sent a letter to Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel asking for the Justice Department investigation. 

🚨Attacks on Tesla must be investigated as domestic terrorism! 🚨

Today, my @DOGECommittee colleagues and I sent a letter to @AGPamBondi and @FBIDirectorKash asking for an investigation into the wave of organized attacks targeting @elonmusk, @Tesla, and the @DOGE effort.
