An anti-Tesla activist suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla store is facing a potential long prison sentence, according to United States Attorney General Pam Bondi. The attacks on Tesla locations and vehicles have been on the rise, with incidents ranging from stores being shot up to vehicles being vandalized and set on fire in suspected arson cases. One such incident involved a Tesla store in Salem, Oregon, being attacked with Molotov cocktails.
President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to those targeting Teslas, labeling such actions as domestic terrorism. He made it clear that anyone caught deliberately harming Tesla properties will face severe consequences.
In a recent FOX News segment, US Attorney General Pam Bondi reiterated that individuals targeting others based on their political beliefs will be apprehended and punished accordingly. She mentioned ongoing investigations to uncover the perpetrators behind these violent acts and confirmed that a Tesla attacker, responsible for throwing Molotov cocktails at a store, is now looking at up to 20 years in prison.
Bondi emphasized the need to stop the weaponization of political affiliations and highlighted the continuous targeting of Tesla dealerships and charging stations. She expressed her commitment to investigating the funding sources behind these attacks and bringing the culprits to justice.
“We have people in custody for these crimes. One individual is currently incarcerated for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a dealership and is facing a potential 20-year sentence. If you engage in any form of violence against Tesla or its properties, be prepared because we will pursue you. And if you are funding these attacks, we will track you down and hold you accountable,” Bondi stated.
The Attorney General’s message is clear – anyone involved in targeting Tesla or its affiliates will face legal repercussions. The government is determined to uphold law and order and ensure the safety and security of all individuals and businesses, including Tesla and its supporters.
