On March 18, 2025, the Tesla dealership in Las Vegas was set ablaze, amidst a series of violent acts against Tesla and its supporters, which some are defining as domestic terrorism. These attacks include firebombings, assaults, and threats aimed at individuals associated with pro-Trump sentiments. Officials argue that such violence is intended to intimidate and deter support for Tesla, particularly targeting CEO Elon Musk's political views. Attorney General Pam Bondi highlights that legal actions are being taken against perpetrators, but emphasizes that penalties must be more severe to deter this unacceptable behavior in a democratic society.
Threats of violence cannot be allowed to curtail our freedom of speech. Nor should the extended families of public figures face threats to their lives and safety.
The multiple attacks on Teslas aren't mere vandalism. This is terrorism exactly as the dictionary describes it: 'The unlawful use of violence and intimidation...'
It's calculated to scare, to terrorize, people away from driving Teslas in order to apply political pressure on Musk.
Five years is a good start - but it's not enough. This kind of antisocial political barbarity is utterly unacceptable in a free country.
