The controversy surrounding Musk's role in government has led to considerable brand damage for Tesla, affecting their stock performance globally, according to analysts.
The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended. If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.
The defendants used Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla cars and charging stations, with one armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle during the attack.
