Arson Charges in Tesla and Political Attacks

Paul Hyon Kim pleaded not guilty to charges of arson and firearm possession related to an attack on Tesla vehicles in Las Vegas. In a separate incident, Jamison Wagner was charged with arson for setting fire to a Tesla showroom and the Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wagner allegedly used incendiary devices and spray-painted graffiti with extremist messages, including 'Die Elon' and 'Tesla Nazi Inc.' both on vehicles and buildings. His actions are being investigated as part of a broader wave of political violence targeting Tesla and associated with public anger towards Elon Musk's political affiliations. If convicted, Wagner faces up to 40 years in prison. Authorities have emphasized the seriousness of these acts, labeling them as domestic terrorism and promising rigorous prosecution.
