Las Vegas police arrested 36-year-old Paul Kim for allegedly firebombing a Tesla service center in what authorities called a “targeted attack.” Investigators found Kim had self-proclaimed ties to communist and pro-Palestine social media groups, including the Communist Party USA and Revolutionary Communist International. The attack damaged multiple vehicles, spray-painted “RESIST” on the building, and involved Molotov cocktails.
Kim reportedly shot bullets into five Tesla vehicles before setting them on fire. Security footage shows him casually carrying out the attack while wearing dark clothing. Police recovered rifles, shotguns, and a backpack with pink paint matching graffiti at the scene. DNA evidence allegedly links Kim to the crime.
Authorities revealed Kim participated in online groups promoting communist ideologies and Palestinian activism. While investigators say the ties are “loose,” they’re examining whether these groups influenced his actions. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved in the case due to potential political motives.
The attack follows nationwide protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s work with President Trump’s government efficiency program. Some liberals have supported vandalism against Tesla properties, claiming Musk’s policies hurt federal workers. Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the violence as “domestic terrorism.”
This attack shows how far-left extremists will destroy private property to push radical agendas. While Democrats remain silent about communist-linked violence, law-abiding Americans suffer. Strong police work stopped this terrorist, but more must be done to protect businesses from mob rule. Musk’s efforts to cut government waste shouldn’t be met with firebombs – they should be celebrated as patriotic cost-saving measures.
The arrest proves domestic terrorism comes from anti-American groups, not patriotic conservatives. Authorities must crack down harder on socialist organizations promoting violence against successful companies. Families deserve safe communities free from radical activists trying to burn down our economy.
