Rudy Giuliani says he knows who’s responsible for the recent Tesla attacks, and he’s pointing fingers at the same groups behind the 2020 protests and anti-Israel campus demonstrations. The former New York City mayor made the claim during an interview on NEWSMAX’s Saturday Report, suggesting a coordinated effort by far-left activists to disrupt American industries.
Giuliani argued that the money backing these protests comes from wealthy donors and shadowy organizations. He compared the Tesla attacks to the 2020 election protests and recent anti-Israel campus encampments, claiming they’re all funded by the same network. Groups like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Tides Foundation have poured millions into radical causes, bankrolling everything from anti-police rallies to campaigns against Israel.
The former mayor accused groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace of acting as fronts for these donors. He highlighted reports showing how groups like WESPAC funnel money to protesters, providing tents, food, and legal support. Giuliani claimed these tactics are designed to create chaos and undermine law and order.
Giuliani’s critics were quick to dismiss his claims, pointing out his recent legal troubles. A judge recently ordered him to hand over his car, watches, and other valuables to pay $148 million in damages for spreading lies about 2020 election workers. He’s also been disbarred for pushing false claims about voter fraud. But Giuliani insists he’s fighting to expose the truth.
The Tesla attacks, which targeted charging stations and factories, have raised concerns about domestic terrorism. Giuliani claims the perpetrators are tied to “anti-capitalist” groups funded by wealthy elites. He pointed to donors like Rachel Gelman, an heiress who openly supports tearing down capitalism, as examples of radicals bankrolling destruction.
Campus protests have caused millions in damage, with masked activists occupying buildings and harassing Jewish students. Giuliani linked these actions to the same playbook used in 2020, when riots swept cities after George Floyd’s death. He criticized universities for allowing chaos until federal funding was threatened, noting Columbia University cracked down only after losing $400 million in grants.
Giuliani warned that these groups want to destabilize America and weaken its support for Israel. He praised the Trump administration for revoking visas of protesters and cutting funds to universities that tolerate antisemitism. “These aren’t grassroots movements,” he said. “They’re bought and paid for by people who hate our country.”
Despite his legal battles, Giuliani vowed to keep speaking out. He called for stronger action against protest funders and urged conservatives to “wake up” to the threat. With tensions high and elections approaching, his warnings reflect growing fears about organized efforts to disrupt public order and target key industries.
