Tesla CEO Elon Musk is calling out top Democrats and left-wing activists for fueling what he says is a dangerous wave of violence and vandalism against his company. In a blistering statement, Musk accused Democratic leaders of spreading divisive, false narratives that have inspired real-world attacks on Tesla vehicles, employees, and facilities.
“The real villains are the ones spreading this propaganda,” Musk said. “This is not just rhetoric—it’s resulting in targeted violence.”
Surge in Attacks on Tesla Linked to Anti-Musk Rhetoric
In recent weeks, Tesla has been hit with a series of disturbing incidents:
-
In New York City, a Tesla Cybertruck was defaced with the word ‘Nazis’ and a swastika.
-
In Austin, Texas, incendiary devices were found at a Tesla dealership, triggering an investigation by local authorities and the FBI.
-
Tesla staff have reported threats and harassment, both online and in person.
Musk says these attacks are directly tied to the political left’s smear campaigns against him and Tesla’s role in the Trump administration, particularly his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Silence from Democrats Draws Criticism
Despite growing evidence of politically motivated violence against Tesla, top Democrats have refused to condemn the attacks. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi have remained silent, even as President Trump has called for up to 20-year prison sentences for those responsible.
Conservatives have pointed out the glaring hypocrisy—Democrats were quick to denounce non-left-wing violence in the past, yet remain quiet when political violence targets Tesla, simply because Musk is aligned with Trump.
Musk: “They’re Endangering Lives”
Musk made it clear that this isn’t just about cars or corporations—it’s about people.
“They’re endangering the lives of our employees and customers with their lies,” he said. “You can disagree with my politics, but encouraging this kind of hatred is reckless and immoral.”
He also warned that the failure to denounce this violence is effectively a green light for extremists.
Federal Response Underway
The FBI and other agencies have launched investigations into the attacks, treating them as serious threats to public safety. A federal task force has been assigned to monitor and prevent further violence, particularly as Musk and Trump continue their reform agenda.
Musk Remains Defiant
Despite the attacks, Musk said he’s not backing down.
“We’re not going to be intimidated into silence or submission,” he said. “Tesla will keep building. We will keep innovating. And we will hold the people responsible for these crimes accountable—no matter who they are or how powerful they think they are.”
As Tesla continues to expand and Musk’s role in the Trump administration grows, the clash between left-wing agitators and America First business leaders is reaching new levels. Musk’s message is clear: truth, innovation, and accountability will win—and he’s not going anywhere.
