Rep. Jasmine Crockett sparked outrage after saying her birthday wish is to see Elon Musk “taken down.” She joined a protest movement pushing Tesla owners to sell their cars and investors to dump stock. Attorney General Pam Bondi fired back, warning Crockett to “tread very carefully” and vowing to protect Tesla owners from attacks.
Crockett claims her calls for action are peaceful, but Bondi isn’t buying it. The attorney general pointed to recent vandalism of Tesla properties, including torched cars and damaged charging stations. Three suspects face up to 20 years in prison under domestic terrorism charges. Bondi called the violence unacceptable and promised to crack down hard.
Vice President JD Vance slammed the protests, saying they’re really about intimidating Trump supporters. He warned that the administration won’t back down from defending Musk or Tesla owners. Musk himself signaled support by sharing Vance’s post with American flag emojis.
Crockett tried to deflect by bringing up Trump’s pardons of January 6 rioters. She told Bondi to “talk to your boss” about locking them up again. Conservatives called this a desperate distraction. They argue peaceful protests don’t involve firebombing cars or terrorizing business owners.
The “Tesla Takedown” group plans rallies nationwide on March 29—Crockett’s birthday. They want to pressure Musk over his role in shrinking the federal government. Bondi urged protesters to stay lawful, saying “nothing will happen to Elon Musk” except consequences for lawbreakers.
Many Tesla owners feel caught in the crossfire. Some reported threats and property damage just for driving Musk’s vehicles. Conservatives praise Bondi for standing up to bullies targeting everyday Americans. They say the left hates Musk because he supports Trump’s America First agenda.
This fight isn’t just about cars—it’s about freedom. Musk represents innovation and cutting government waste. Crockett’s attacks show how far some will go to silence conservative voices. Bondi’s toughness sends a clear message: play by the rules or face the full force of the law.
The Trump administration continues to back Musk’s efforts to streamline bureaucracy. Meanwhile, Democrats keep pushing radical stunts that hurt workers and small businesses. Americans deserve leaders who protect prosperity, not activists who burn it down.
