The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a national alert regarding potential cyber-attacks targeting the automaker Tesla. Far-left extremists recently launched a terror campaign against the company and its owner, Elon Musk, who fronts President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
According to an FBI statement released on March 21, incidents involving the targeting of Tesla electric vehicles (EVs) have been noted in at least nine states since January 2025. These attacks include arson, gunfire, and vandalism. The graffiti left at the scene often voices grievances toward individuals perceived as racists, fascists, or political adversaries. The FBI highlighted that these actions are usually carried out by lone offenders using basic methods such as improvised incendiary devices and firearms, typically during nighttime hours.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi labeled these attacks as “domestic terrorism” and emphasized continued efforts to prosecute offenders. President Trump has also remarked he would consider classifying violence against Tesla as a terrorism charge.
Some far-left activists have even doxxed Tesla owners in the United States, publishing their personal details, including home addresses.
