Tesla Dealerships and Vehicles Targeted Globally in Escalating Acts of Violence

Shootings, arson, and protests against Tesla intensify as Elon Musk's political role under President Trump draws backlash.

A Tesla dealership in Tigard, Oregon, was shot at for the second time in a week, causing extensive damage to cars and the showroom, though no injuries were reported.
Four Tesla vehicles were deliberately set on fire in Berlin, Germany, with police investigating potential political motives tied to protests against Elon Musk's affiliations with right-wing politics.
Similar attacks on Tesla facilities and vehicles have been reported globally, including arson in France and vandalism in the United States, reflecting widespread dissent against Musk's leadership role in the Trump administration.
Protests have erupted at Tesla showrooms in various cities, with demonstrators criticizing Musk's perceived alignment with controversial political movements and his influence on government policy.
President Trump has defended Musk, labeling those targeting Tesla as 'domestic terrorists' and attributing Tesla's stock decline to what he called 'radical left lunatics.'
