Trump Proposes Harsh Measures for Tesla Vandals, Including El Salvador Prisons

The president's call for severe penalties, including extrajudicial incarceration abroad, has drawn legal scrutiny as Tesla faces financial and reputational challenges.

  • Three individuals have been charged with vandalizing Tesla properties, including arson and graffiti targeting Elon Musk and President Trump.
  • President Trump has labeled the vandalism as 'domestic terrorism' and suggested 20-year prison sentences, potentially served in El Salvador's controversial prisons.
  • Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have found no evidence that the attacks are part of a coordinated effort, despite claims from Musk and Trump.
  • Tesla's stock has plummeted nearly 48% this year, exacerbated by product recalls and public backlash against Musk's role in the Trump administration.
  • Critics have raised legal and ethical concerns over the administration's proposed punishments and its close ties to Tesla, including promoting the company's stock.
