FBI Investigates Tesla Facility Attacks as Potential Domestic Terrorism

Las Vegas and Kansas City Tesla locations targeted with Molotov cocktails and gunfire, with authorities citing political motivations linked to Elon Musk's government role.

  • A Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas was attacked early Tuesday, with Molotov cocktails and gunfire damaging five vehicles, including two that were fully engulfed in flames.
  • The word 'Resist' was spray-painted on the facility's doors, leading investigators to explore potential political motivations behind the attack.
  • The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the Las Vegas attack, which officials say has 'some of the hallmarks' of terrorism, though no suspects have been identified yet.
  • A similar arson attack occurred at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City the same night, damaging two Tesla Cybertrucks, as part of a broader pattern of violence against Tesla properties.
  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Attorney General Pam Bondi have condemned the incidents, with Bondi labeling them 'domestic terrorism' and promising severe consequences for those responsible.
