Musk criticizes ‘terrorist’ assault on Tesla dealership in Italy
(MENAFN) A fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome, Italy, early on Monday morning destroyed at least 17 electric vehicles and damaged part of the building. While police have not yet identified any suspects or motives, reports suggest investigators are considering arson as a possibility.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk condemned the attack as "terrorism," linking it to a growing wave of protests and violent actions targeting Tesla-related facilities. Initially concentrated in the US, this anti-Tesla violence has recently spread internationally. In Berlin, a Tesla dealership was vandalized by activists, and another dealership in Verden, Germany, saw seven vehicles set on fire over the weekend. Authorities are investigating these incidents.
In response, the FBI launched a task force to address the rising number of violent acts against Tesla, labeling the attacks "domestic terrorism." FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized that those responsible would face severe consequences. Musk, who has become a polarizing figure due to his ties to US President Donald Trump and his role in government efficiency reforms, has suggested the violence may be a coordinated campaign funded by prominent Democratic donors, such as George Soros.
