Jewish Tesla Owner Confronts Anti-Musk Protester for Tracing Swastika on Cybertruck
A New York man was arrested after defacing a Tesla Cybertruck with a swastika, sparking concerns over escalating anti-Musk protests targeting Tesla properties.
- Michael Lewis, a 42-year-old man, was arrested in Brooklyn for tracing a swastika in the dust on a Tesla Cybertruck owned by Avi Ben Hamo, a Jewish man.
- The incident occurred on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, where Ben Hamo witnessed Lewis defacing his vehicle and called the police after confronting him.
- Lewis fled the scene but returned later to retrieve his car, at which point he was arrested by law enforcement but released without charges as no damage was caused to the vehicle.
- This act is part of a broader wave of anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk protests, reportedly tied to Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has drawn criticism for government spending cuts.
- Similar attacks on Tesla properties include vandalism at dealerships, arson at charging stations, and other acts of defacement, raising concerns over the intensifying backlash against Musk and his enterprises.
