Overview
- The FBI and DOJ are investigating a series of over 80 attacks on Tesla properties, including arson and vandalism, with several individuals charged with domestic terrorism.
- Protests continue worldwide, organized by groups such as Indivisible and Disruption Project, opposing Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency and its federal budget cuts.
- Tesla's stock value has plummeted nearly 50% since late 2024, as consumer backlash over Musk's political alignment with Trump impacts sales and brand perception.
- Activist groups like Indivisible and Disruption Project have received funding from organizations linked to Open Society Foundations and Tides Foundation, but they have publicly condemned violence and property destruction.
- Elon Musk has called for the arrest of those funding attacks on Tesla properties, though no direct ties between protest organizers and violent incidents have been established.
