Violence against Tesla will fall under domestic terrorism: President Trump

US President Donald Trump has announced that any violence against Tesla and any other US company will be labeled as domestic terrorism.

Trump announced this move at the White House after selecting Model S to support Tesla CEO, Elon Musk on the face of growing arson attack and vandalism targeting dealerships, vehicles and stores across the US.

Activists have been organizing targeted protests against Musk’s involvement in Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, an initiative by the US President to cut federal funding and workforce.

“They’re harming a great American company. Let me tell you, you do it to Tesla, and you do it to any company, we’re going to catch you, and… you’re going to go through hell” Trump said at the White House on Tuesday.
