Several Tesla facilities were targeted by vandals who damaged properties across the US following CEO Elon Musk’s role in President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting task force, DOGE.
Incidents include graffiti, arson at Tesla charging stations, and Molotov cocktails thrown at dealerships.
A woman was arrested in Colorado for causing up to $20,000 in damages. In New York, over 350 protesters gathered, with six arrests reported.
According to CBS, there have been at least six separate events at different Tesla locations this month alone.
The billionaire condemned a video showcasing a man vandalizing Teslas and said, “Damaging the property of others, aka vandalism, is not free speech!”
