Pam Bondi Demands Apology from Jasmine Crockett Over Tesla Comments

Attorney General Pam Bondi has called for Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett to apologize to Tesla shareholders for her comments expressing a desire to see Elon Musk 'taken down' on her birthday. Bondi criticized Crockett's remarks during an interview, stating they could incite violence and calling for a clear denunciation of such sentiments. Crockett, who participated in a #TeslaTakedown livestream, maintained that her advocacy was for nonviolent protest, despite the backlash. The situation has escalated with reports of vandalism and threats against Tesla vehicles and facilities, prompting concerns from law enforcement. In response to Bondi's criticism, Crockett argued that it is the Trump administration that is providing cover for violent actors, not her. The controversy has drawn condemnation from other Republican legislators, further fueling the divisive political climate surrounding Musk and Tesla.
