Tesla Vehicles Torched in Germany as Global Protests Target Elon Musk

Seven Tesla cars burned in Ottersberg, Germany, as demonstrations against Musk's political ties and Tesla's practices unfold in Europe and the U.S.

Seven Tesla vehicles were set on fire near a dealership in Ottersberg, Germany, early Saturday morning, with investigations ongoing into potential links to 'Tesla Takedown' protests.
Authorities in Ottersberg warned residents to keep windows and doors closed due to heavy smoke from the vehicle fires.
The 'Tesla Takedown' movement has organized protests across Germany and the United States, criticizing Elon Musk's political affiliations and Tesla's environmental and labor practices.
The U.S. Justice Department has escalated its response, declaring acts of vandalism against Tesla as 'domestic terrorism' and pledging severe penalties for those involved.
Protests in Germany are planned in cities including Berlin, Hamburg, and Grünheide, while demonstrations in the U.S. are expected at up to 100 locations.
