Tesla owners across America are facing a scary new trend. Their cars are being targeted by vandals in what authorities call acts of domestic terrorism. These attacks aren’t random. They’re fueled by angry critics of Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO who has become a top adviser to President Trump.
Fox News contributor Tyrus didn’t hold back when discussing the issue on The Brian Kilmeade Show. He called the vandals “stupid” and warned that destroying property helps no one. “Let’s not be stupid,” Tyrus said, arguing that political rage should never justify breaking the law.
The FBI reports Tesla attacks in at least nine states, including fires, gunshots, and graffiti calling owners “fascists.” A Houston woman shared her horror after a man followed her car, then keyed it in a Whole Foods parking lot. Security cameras caught the vandal, but she’s still scared to drive her Tesla.
President Trump has blasted the attackers as “domestic terrorists,” backing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s crackdown. Three suspects already face federal charges, including firebombing dealerships and burning charging stations. Bondi promises more arrests, saying, “We will put you in prison.”
Elon Musk’s ties to Trump seem to be a major trigger. Protesters rage against his role in government reforms, even though Tesla’s security cameras often catch them in the act. Despite this, some Democrats have cheered the violence, demanding Musk be “taken down.”
Tyrus slammed the hypocrisy, noting that peaceful protests are one thing, but torching cars crosses the line. He praised police for hunting the culprits and urged Americans to reject mob mentality. “This isn’t about politics,” he said. “It’s about right and wrong.”
Tesla sales have dipped as owners fear being targeted. Some paste “Not A Musk Fan” stickers on their cars to avoid attacks. But many conservatives argue backing down rewards bullies. They say standing up to intimidation is the only way to keep America safe.
As investigations continue, leaders stress that law and order must prevail. Tyrus put it bluntly: “Destroying someone’s property because you hate their politics isn’t activism. It’s insanity.” With tensions high, all eyes are on whether justice will cool this heated feud.
