The announcement comes hours after a bomb squad discovered multiple \u201cincendiary devices\u201d at a dealership in Austin, Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has established a specialized task force to address a surge in violent incidents targeting Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations across the United States. These acts, which include arson and vandalism, have been officially classified as \u201cdomestic terrorism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The newly formed 10-member task force includes personnel from the FBI\u2019s Counterterrorism Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and intelligence analysts,\u00a0the New York Post\u00a0wrote on Monday. In response to the report, FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the agency\u2019s commitment to public safety and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response,\u201d<\/em> Patel said<\/a> in a post on X. \u201cThis is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become an increasingly polarizing figure since President Donald Trump appointed him to lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to authorities, the attacks appear to be ideologically motivated and may be linked to an anarchist blog advocating violence against the company.<\/p>\n

Since late January, dozens of attacks have targeted Tesla cars, dealerships and charging stations in the US and Canada, sometimes accompanied by anti-Musk graffiti. This month\u00a0alone, there have been 48 reported incidents involving Tesla properties, with seven currently under active investigation, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

The new task force has been tasked with investigating both past and recent attacks \u2013 including the discovery of incendiary devices at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, on Monday \u2013 and coordinating with local law enforcement agencies to prevent further incidents.<\/p>\n

The FBI is also monitoring a planned protest, \u201cTesla Takedown,\u201d<\/em> scheduled for March 29, which aims to organize demonstrations at Tesla showrooms and charging stations nationwide.<\/p>\n

President Trump has condemned the attacks, suggesting harsh penalties, including sending perpetrators to serve 20-year prison sentences in El Salvador\u2019s notorious mega prison.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Pam Bondi echoed the president\u2019s stance, stating that the Department of Justice will impose \u201csevere consequences\u201d<\/em> on those involved, including individuals who coordinate or fund such crimes. As of Monday, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the attacks.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
