At least 17 cars were destroyed in a fire on the outskirts of Rome, in the latest string of attacks against the company.
A Tesla dealership in Rome, Italy was hit by a fire early Monday morning. At least 17 cars were destroyed, as well as parts of the building.
Police have not apprehended any suspects or named a motive behind it. According to Italian media reports, investigators are considering several theories, including arson.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk condemned the incident as “terrorism,” effectively linking it to the ongoing string of protests and violent attacks against facilities linked to his car company and individual private vehicles. The anti-Tesla violence was initially confined to the US, but has recently spread to other parts of the world.
A Tesla dealership was vandalized in Berlin on Monday when Neue Generation activists spray painted the entrance to the facility. Another German Tesla dealership in the northern city of Verden made headlines over the weekend when seven vehicles were burned. An investigation into the fire is ongoing.
Last week, the FBI launched a task force to address the growing number of violent incidents related to Tesla. In the US, the string of attacks, which include vandalism and arson, have been officially designated as “domestic terrorism,” FBI Director Kash Patel has said, vowing to punish those behind the incidents.
“The 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,” Patel wrote in a post on X. “This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice.”
Musk has become an increasingly polarizing figure due to his close ties to US President Donald Trump and his work as the head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an unofficial agency tasked with slashing government spending. Since January, dozens of Tesla-linked locations have been hit by protests, with Musk suggesting the campaign could be a coordinated effort bankrolled by major Democratic donors, including George Soros.
Trump has condemned the attacks, threatening harsh penalties, including sending those found guilty to a mega prison in El Salvador.
What is it about musk they don’t like? That he’s exposing corruption and money laundering? Unreal. Our world is full of evil grifting parasites who will defend the loony lazy grifting left at all costs.
Maybe, just maybe it is because he is ushering in a technocratic totalitarianism system. You still living in the left right paradigm though, used to divide
And now imagine what would be said and by whom if a DOGE would appear on NZ’s doorstep.
DOGE = Department of Grift Elimination
The morally corrupt do not like DOGE.
The grifting are parasites upon the back of humanity.
Sooner they are found and given justice, the better.
Old mark… Always more than willing to promote plan B of the agenda
Yet, they havent targeted any Trump assets?
Who was terrorised? So, how is it terrorism?
This becoming massively pathetic. Those involved with this are carrying out all of this without knowing why they are doing it. This opinion piece is mind bending about how peoples perception about how we see the world and maybe how and why people do such things https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/usaid-and-architecture-perception .
