Tesla Rome Fire Part of Suspected Global Attacks

Italian police are investigating a fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome, which destroyed 17 vehicles, as possible arson, part of a series of suspected attacks against Elon Musk's company. The incident coincides with global protests against Musk's political affiliations, notably his ties to the Trump administration, which have contributed to a decline in Tesla sales in Europe. The fire occurred early Monday, and Tesla is cooperating with authorities, providing surveillance footage from the vehicles. This event is the latest in a string of similar attacks across the U.S. and Europe, prompting the FBI to address these as potential domestic terrorism. No injuries were reported, but the incident has fueled further anti-Tesla sentiment amid ongoing 'Tesla Takedown' protests worldwide. Analysts suggest the backlash may significantly impact Tesla's brand and sales rather than the acts of vandalism themselves.
