A Tesla Cybertruck was vandalized in Brooklyn with a swastika and the word “Nazis” carved into its doors. The owner, a Jewish man, found his truck defaced early Thursday morning. Police are hunting two suspects caught on the vehicle’s Sentry Mode cameras. This attack is part of a wave of violence against Tesla properties across the country.
Over 30 incidents have been reported since January, including arson, gunfire, and vandalism at dealerships and charging stations. The FBI says these are acts of “domestic terrorism” by extremists angry at Elon Musk’s role in cutting government waste. Tesla owners have faced threats, fires, and smashed windows just for driving the cars.
Elon Musk called the attacks “deranged” and blamed radical leftists for targeting his company. He said protesters are mad because his work with the Trump administration exposed corruption. Musk warned that violence solves nothing and only hurts everyday workers and families.
The FBI set up a task force to stop the attacks. They warned Tesla owners to stay alert ahead of planned “Global Day of Protest” rallies. Though protest organizers claim they’re peaceful, past events led to fires and destruction. Law enforcement says they’re ready to crack down on any violence.
Top Democrats have stayed silent as Tesla properties burn. Leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi refused to condemn the attacks. This silence fuels criticism that liberals care more about politics than protecting Americans. Only a few Democrats spoke out, saying violence is never the answer.
Victims like Shawn Freed shared how scary it is to be targeted for owning a Tesla. His car was keyed while parked, leaving him worried for his family’s safety. Another owner, Abigail Gill, said vandals scratched her entire car, costing thousands to fix. She reminded attackers that harming her car doesn’t hurt Musk—it hurts regular people.
Musk urged supporters to stay calm and trust the law. He said Tesla is boosting security at dealerships. Meanwhile, conservatives called for unity, saying innovation shouldn’t be destroyed by mobs. They argue burning cars won’t stop Musk’s fight against government waste.
As protests spread, experts warned that violence helps no one. They said disagreements should be settled through debate, not destruction. Police vowed to arrest anyone causing harm. Musk remains focused on his mission, telling fans, “This will pass. We just have to stay strong.”
