On March 24, the FBI announced the creation of a task force to investigate what it called “domestic terrorism” targeting Tesla, the electric vehicle company run by billionaire Elon Musk. The announcement follows worldwide anti-Musk and anti-Tesla protests and boycotts in recent months.
A range of more alarming incidents — some including gunfire or arson — have occurred in the United States, although no serious injuries have been sustained.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker reviews recent extremist attacks against Tesla vehicles or facilities and says that American liberals are not doing enough to rein in these extremist elements within the “Tesla takedown.”
The following is an excerpt from the above video:
Progressive activists are ramping up the so-called “Tesla takedown.” These protests show their displeasure over CEO Elon Musk’s role in cutting spending and shrinking the federal workplace since President Trump took office in January.
Well, some of these protests have become violent, and that seems to be just fine with many of these activists. In Portland, Oregon, for instance, police say someone fired seven bullets into three Teslas at a nearby dealership. Molotov cocktails were thrown at the electric vehicles, setting them on fire. Tesla charging stations have also been set ablaze in Las Vegas. Electric vehicles were set on fire, and the word “resist” was spray-painted on the dealership’s building.
One West Coast dealership had to remove spray-painted swastikas and profanity from its vehicles.
Some liberal television hosts are getting laughs. They think it’s funny, and they joke about the Tesla vandalism, and they cheer when they show videos of Teslas burning. In more serious moments, they seek to explain away the acts of violence. Hmm, sounds familiar to what we had to deal with in 2020, when they were terrorizing even Portland, Oakland. These left-wing progressives, well, Attorney General Pam Bondi doesn’t see any humor in these destructive acts.
