Tesla Charger Attacks Deemed Domestic Terrorism

News summary

In a series of vandalism incidents targeting Tesla vehicles and infrastructure, a masked man in North Charleston set fire to Tesla charging stations using Molotov cocktails, inadvertently setting himself on fire in the process. This incident is part of a broader trend of attacks on Tesla, possibly motivated by CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations and activities. The suspect, who spray-painted messages supporting Ukraine and criticizing Trump, fled the scene and remains unidentified, with the investigation now involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Similar acts of vandalism have been reported across the U.S. and Europe, including vandalism in Seattle, where Teslas were set on fire and defaced with swastikas. These acts have prompted calls for federal investigations and stronger penalties, with President Trump labeling them as 'domestic terrorism.'
